Planinets hut

Planinets hut (Bulgarian: хижа „Планинец“) is a tourist mountain hut located in the Svrachar locality on Vitosha Mountain in Bulgaria. The site was chosen in 1931 by a group of officers from the Bulgarian army, and the hut itself was built in 1937. It has been repeatedly rebuilt and expanded over the years, reflecting its long-standing role as a stopping point for hikers on Vitosha. The hut serves as a base and waypoint for walkers exploring the mountain. It is accessible from several starting points, including the Zlatnite Mostove locality — the last stop of bus No. 63 — which is about 40 minutes away, and the Vladaya quarter, roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes away. Nearby tourist sites include the Septemvri hut (about 30 minutes), Momina Skala hut (about 30 minutes), Planinarska Pesen hut (about 1 hour), and Tintyava hut (about 1 hour). Beyond its function as a mountain refuge, the name Planinets has been given to a street in the Gardova Glava and Karpuzitsa quarters of Sofia, indicating a degree of local recognition. The hut is a modest but established part of Bulgaria's mountain tourism infrastructure on Vitosha, a mountain closely associated with Sofia and outdoor recreation.
