The lodge is on the mountain trail from Apriltsi to Botev peak. It is a very nice half day trip in the mountain. It takes an hour to climb to the lodge. It is a steep climb but it is in the forest. You can have a rest in the restaurant of the lodge and have a nice meal with a view before going down.
