This high mountain hut is in the heart of Rila Mountain, Bulgaria. We walked for 12 hours in typical winter weather conditions such as snowfall, fog, wind, and finally darkness. At least the route was avalanche safe.

This concrete behemoth on Buzludzha mountain is a relic of the communist era, wryly called ‘Bulgaria’s UFO’, and it’s beaming up increasing numbers of curious visitors.
