Musala Hut stands in the Rila Mountains on the northern shore of the seventh Musala Lake and is a starting point for climbing Musala Peak, the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula, about 1 h 45 min away. The hut is a stop on the European long-distance trail E-8.
On this site the first Musala Hut, the so-called "Klekova Hut", was built in 1924–1925 on the initiative of Ivan Velchev and was the second hut in Bulgaria after Skakavitsa – a single-storey wooden building with an attic. The present building was erected by the Bulgarian Tourist Union in 1966.
It is about 1 h 15 min on foot from the hut to Ledeno Ezero Hut and about 30 min to Yastrebets Hut.
