Balkanski rozi hut

Balkanski rozi (Bulgarian: Балкански рози, meaning "Balkan Roses") is a mountain hut located in the Central Balkan National Park in Bulgaria. It sits at an altitude of 1,156 metres on the border between the Troyan and Kalofer mountains, within the Stara Planina (Balkan Mountains) range. The hut offers 30 sleeping places and serves as a stopover point for hikers traversing the central section of the Balkan Mountains. The original building was constructed in 1933 as a Red Cross hut. In 1960 a second building was erected and took over the function of the hut, while the first building was abandoned. The hut is a starting point for routes to neighbouring huts and peaks, including hut Ambaritsa (5 hours), hut Hubavets (1 hour), hut Vasil Levski (1 hour), hut Rai (5 hours), hut Dobrila (5 hours), hut Pleven (6 hours), Botev Peak (6 hours) and the Botev shelter (5 hours). The town of Karlovo is about 3 hours away and serves as a common access point. As a mountain hut, Balkanski rozi provides basic accommodation for hikers and tourists rather than commercial hospitality services. It is part of Bulgaria's network of mountain huts maintained for outdoor recreation in the national park.
