About

Cabana Caraiman stands at about 2,025 m in the Bucegi Mountains above Bușteni, near the Caraiman Cross. After years of neglect it was bought and restored by violinist Alexandru Tomescu, and it reopened to hikers in August 2023. It has 21 places in rooms with 4, 6 and 7 beds, showers, heating and a dining room, and can host guests in winter. In winter the Jepii Mici valley trail may be closed by Salvamont.
