Vezhen Hut is a complex of two large buildings and 12 wooden bungalows with a total capacity of 140 places. It has a kitchen block and a dining hall. The main buildings have electricity and water and are heated by solid-fuel stoves, while the bungalows have electricity but no sanitary facilities and are used mainly in summer. The hut is managed by the Vezhen Tourist Society of Teteven.
The hut stands in the Tsarichina locality, at the northern foot of Vezhen Peak (2198 m), in the Zlatitsa-Teteven Balkan, within Central Balkan National Park. By Council of Ministers Decision No. 943 of 22 December 2011 the old hut was taken from the Bulgarian Tourist Union and given to the park directorate. It is a starting point for climbing Vezhen Peak and for the ridge route to Benkovski and Eho huts.
