Belmeken Hut
Belmeken Hut is located in Rila National Park, at 2224 meters of altitude, on the shores of Ravnivrushko Lake and in the foot of Mount Belmeken (2626 m). It was originally built in 1932. The hut is electrified and can host up to 30 people in dormitories. A limited choice of food and drinks is available.
The hut is accessible from the holiday area of the town of Kostenets – 4,5 hours along a marked trail, or from Belmeken Dam – 2,5 hours. An asphalt road leads up to the dam, located at 2000 meters above the sea.

Hello,
I would like to reservate 4 beds for the 26th of may at belmeken hut but I can’t reach someone who speaks English. Do you know if the hut is already open and if they offer diner and breakfast? Do we need a mattress? Thank you!!
Many greetings
Delia 🙂
Sorry, cannot help really, you need to speak to them. Should be open and they usually offer food and drinks. Better bring a travel linen.
Do all the huts require I bring a sleeping bag?
Do I need to make a reservation in advance?
No, only Tevno Lake and Vazov hut would require travel linen/sleeping bag. Reservation advisable during high season.
When does the hut open herself (date)
I want to do a trip in bulgaria in may.
Hi, the hut is usually operating during the weekends in Spring, but there is no person constantly. Best is to contact them for the certain dates and check if it will be open.
