Berghütte Sokolna, Mountain hut in Stara Planina, Bulgaria

Berghütte Sokolna is a two-storey hut in the Slivkata area on the southeastern slopes of the Triglav massif, inside Central Balkan National Park and next to the Sokolna reserve. It has 43 beds, indoor and outdoor sanitary facilities, a dining room with a summer terrace, and a small shop. The second floor was rebuilt after a fire.

Construction started in 1972 using volunteer labor and donated materials, with the building completed in 1984. The project was a community effort to make the mountain range more accessible to hikers.

The hut serves as a meeting place for hikers and mountaineers traveling the Balkan trails. Many visitors use it as a base for multi-day journeys through the high country.

Reaching the hut requires hiking skills as access is only by foot on marked mountain trails through steep terrain. The best visiting season is May through October when weather is more stable and trails are clear of snow.

The hut is owned by Pavel Banya municipality and given free of charge to the Sokolna Tourist Association, a local branch of the Bulgarian Tourist Union. Volunteers built both the 1972 shelter and the 1984 hut, carrying every material up by horse because only a footpath reaches the site.
