1937_construction, mountain hut
The hut is at 2,166 m altitude in the Rila Mountains, to the east of the town of Blagoevgrad, between the peaks of Malak and Golyam Mechi Vrah. The hut can be more or less safely reached via the path from Kartala ski area. The nearby peak of Golyam Mechi Vrah (2,617.4 m) is an hour away and skiing down from it is pleasant.
The hut has a spacious dining room, toilets, a tourist kitchen and several sleeping rooms which respectively have 7, 9 or 10 beds inside. Additionally, there is also a big common room with bunk beds for 24 people. In the winter, even when the hut keeper isn't there (usually he is present only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday), the common room stays opened. In it there is a wood-burning stove and firewood can be found in the basement. The toilets are on the ground floor and unless the winter is really a cold one, you will be able to refill your bottle with water from the taps that are next to them. The water comes from a spring that is not far from the hut and though a note next to the sinks warns you that it is not certified for drinking, you most likely won’t have any problems drinking it.
The easiest way to get to Makedonia Hut is probably to hire a car and to drive to Kartala ski resort. It is located on the western side of the mountain range, 30 km east of Blagoevgrad Town. From Sofia Capital just take the A3 highway and drive south to Blagoevgrad Town.
