Slavyanka Hut stands in the north-eastern part of the Slavyanka (Ali Botush) mountain at about 1,040 m, roughly 1 km east of the Parilska Saddle on the old road between Goleshovo and Paril. The building lies about 70 m north of the road, below road level, and is hard to spot. It is a massive single-storey P-shaped building with service sheds, a former "Paril" border post; the Pirin and Ali Botush area was a border zone with Greece and closed to access.
The hut offers about 25 places in rooms with three or more beds, water supply, electricity, a shared sanitary block and a dining room. The red-marked trail from the Parilska Saddle leads to Golyam Tsarev Vrah, and a section of the E4 route passes here towards the Papazchair Saddle. In 2026 the keepers opened the hut for hikers during the week as well.
