Skakavitsa Hut

An alternative and historic mountain refuge nestled in the Rila Mountains at an altitude of 1870 meters. Skakavitsa Hut offers simpler accommodation compared to the more modern Rila Lakes Hut, providing a traditional mountain experience. It's a popular starting point for hikes to the Skakavitsa Waterfall and also offers a direct route to the Seven Rila Lakes. The hut typically provides dormitory-style rooms, a shared dining area, and basic amenities, often with a cozy fireplace. Meals featuring simple but hearty Bulgarian mountain cuisine are usually available. Prices are very affordable, generally around 15-25 BGN per bed. It's advisable to book in advance, especially during peak summer months. Operating season is usually from late spring to late autumn, with limited winter operation depending on conditions.
