About
Cabana Buta stands at about 1,580 m in Retezat National Park, in the southern part of the massif. Since 1979 it has been run by the same hosts, Bela and Margareta. It has 3- and 4-bed rooms with bedding, breakfast and home-cooked meals. The shortest approach is the blue trail from Poiana Pelegii (about 1 h 40 min); the usual one starts at Cheile Buții (about 3.5 h), and longer routes come from road DN66A via Șaua Iepii or along the Pleșa–Piule ridge. WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach the hut.
