Planinarska pesen Hut

Planinarska pesen Hut (Хижа „Планинарска песен“) is a tourist mountain hut located in the Boeritsa area in the southern part of Vitosha Nature Park, Bulgaria, at an elevation of 1,695 metres above sea level. It was built in 1970 by the Bulgarian Tourist Union together with the "Planinarska pesen" choir, and it stands amid a magnificent coniferous forest. The building is a massive structure distinguished by sharply sloped roofs in an "Alpine" style. The hut offers a spacious tavern (mehana), sleeping accommodation for 27–30 people, and a kitchen serving hot soups, grilled dishes, beer, salads and homemade drinks. Directly in front of the building there is a landscaped amphitheatre area with benches. It can be reached by numerous hiking trails as well as by car along an asphalt road. Thanks to the BOHO™ association and its scientific project for comprehensive observation and monitoring of the environment in Bulgaria's mountain regions, Planinarska pesen Hut has internet access and an online webcam, allowing visitors to check the weather situation and current forecast in advance. The hut is a well-known starting point and waypoint on Vitosha. Starting points for reaching it include the Zlatnite Mostove area (last stop of bus No. 63) in about 1 hour, the village of Vladaya ("Kmetstvo Vladaya" stop of buses No. 58 and 59) in about 2 hours 30 minutes, and the Knyazhevo quarter of Sofia (last stop of trams No. 5 and 11) in about 3 hours. Neighbouring tourist sites include Kumata Hut (15 minutes), Momina Skala Hut (1 hour 15 minutes), Borova Gora Hut (in the immediate vicinity), Tintyava Hut (50 minutes), Septemvri Hut (40 minutes) and Boeritsa Hut (in the immediate vicinity). A street in the Boyana quarter of Sofia is named after "Planinarska pesen". As a commercial offering, the hut operates as a hospitality and accommodation brand within Bulgaria's mountain tourism sector, providing food, lodging and weather information services to hikers and visitors of Vitosha Nature Park.
