Information updated

Rudinata Hut is a solid building in the Rudinata locality, below the peak of the same name (1371 m), in Stara Planina. The building is state property and is listed among the assets of the Bulgarian Tourist Union, while the land belongs to Botevgrad Municipality. In the 1950s the property was given to a local tourist society.

After years of neglect, in 2020 local volunteers began cleaning and restoring the hut. In 2021 the mayor of Botevgrad stated that the building was not in good physical and functional condition. A volunteer hike to the hut was announced for 8 August 2026, including an option to help with roof repair. The hut is a landmark on the marked trails from Zelin, Etropole and Pravets.
