Chata pod Borišovom

Chata pod Borišovom is a mountain hut (chata) in the Veľká Fatra mountain range of Slovakia, situated at approximately 1,300–1,312 metres above sea level below the summit of Borišov (1,510 m). It lies in a saddle between Borišov and Ploská in the central part of the range. The hut operates year-round and provides refreshments and accommodation for up to 20 people. It is a traditional tourist facility with a remote, high-mountain character: there is no mobile signal, supplies are carried in by porters, and there is no hot water or showers. Accommodation consists of three six-bed rooms and one two-bed room, with bunk beds; guests reserve a place or bed rather than a specific room, and may share a room with other tourists. In summer a small cold-water washroom is available, and toilets are dry (composting) WCs. Camping at the hut is not permitted. Meals are served 'window-style' according to a daily menu, typically including hearty soups such as cabbage, lentil, bean or garlic soup, and main dishes such as steamed buns or bryndza pierogi/halušky. The hut sells souvenirs including T-shirts with the hut's motif and postcards that can be stamped, and keeps a kronika (guest book) for visitors' messages. Because of its remote location, it serves as a destination for high-mountain hikes and as a starting point for ascents to the main ridge and peaks such as Borišov, Ploská, Ostredok and Krížna. Access is via several marked hiking trails, including the red Velkofatranská magistrála from Ploská or Šoproně, the yellow trail from Borišov or Močidlo, the green trail from Košiariská - koliba or the Ploská saddle, the blue trail from Necpaly via Necpalská dolina or from Chyžky, and the educational trail Hrebeňom Veľkej Fatry from Chyžky. The hut is a well-known facility among Slovak mountain tourists and is listed among the mountain huts of Slovakia.

It serves as a year-round facility for hikers on the Velkofatranská magistrála and other marked trails. The hut's remote setting means it has no mobile signal and is supplied by porters carrying goods on foot. Over time it has become a traditional stop for high-mountain tourism in the region, offering simple accommodation in shared bunk rooms, basic meals, and souvenirs such as T-shirts and postcards. It maintains a guest book (kronika) where visitors can leave messages. The hut is listed among the mountain huts of Slovakia and is referenced in Slovak and Czech Wikipedia.
