Kobilino Branishte shelter

Kobylino Branishte Shelter is located on the eponymous saddle at 2145 m above sea level, on the border between Northwestern and Central Rila. It is a wooden structure with a small entrance hall and a room with bunks for about 16 people. Inside, there are two tables, several chairs, and a stove. The entrance door is broken and does not close properly. The shelter is more suitable for use in extreme situations when comfort is the least concern, due to the rather poor conditions inside.

Drinking water is available about 150 meters to the west. The toilet is external and nearly collapsed.

The starting point for Kobylino Branishte Shelter is Kirilova Polyana, located 7 km by asphalt road from the Rila Monastery. At Kirilova Polyana, there are parking spaces. The hike to Kobylino Branishte Shelter takes about 2-3 hours. The trail is marked with striped green markings and passes by Suhoto ezero (the Dry Lake).

Kobylino Branishte Shelter can also be reached from the village of Govedartsi via the trail passing by Mechit Hut and Mount Mechit.
