Veliytsa Shelter is a two-storey wooden building in a meadow among coniferous forest, at 1640 m above sea level on the Veliyski-Videnishki ridge of the Western Rhodopes. It stands at a junction of forest roads to the villages of Ortsevo, Krastava and Avramovo, about 1 km southwest of Veliytsa peak (1711 m).
The shelter was built in 2018 through volunteer work and several fundraising campaigns. Visitors are asked to clean up after themselves and take their rubbish away.
