The "Chavdar" hut is located in the Etropole Mountain, a part of the Central Balkan Mountain, west of Mount Baba. It can be reached in about 2 hours from Bunovo railway station via a marked tourist trail. The trail is marked in blue and is easy to follow except for the section within the village itself. From the station, follow the road heading northwest until you reach the square in front of the town hall and the bed of the Bunovska River. Without crossing the river, head north on the dirt road leaving the village, passing over the high railway bridge. From here, the markings are easy to follow. The first 2 km run along the river with almost no incline. The ascent begins at the confluence of the Bunovska and Buchkatska rivers, where an elevation gain of about 600 m is overcome within the remaining 2 km to the "Chavdar" hut.
