Eho Hut is a solid two-storey building in the Zhelezni Vrata saddle, between the peaks Kavladan and Yumruka, in the Zlatitsa-Teteven section of the Central Stara Planina. It is run by the Student Tourist Society "Akademik" in Ruse and is a point on the European long-distance route E-3 "Kom – Emine". The chapel of the Holy Trinity is nearby.
The hut was built by students of the "Akademik" society with the help of the Bulgarian Tourist Union and local craftsmen. Construction began in 1982 with a temporary student bivouac, the hut opened in 1985, and on 14 June 1987 it was officially opened and named after the newspaper "Eho". Between 2000 and 2007 the roof and sanitary facilities were repaired, and solar panels and new windows were installed.
The hut is reached by marked trails from Rozino village (about 4–4.5 hours) and from Klisura (about 5–5.5 hours).
