The Koncheto area is located between the peaks of Bayuvi Dupki and Banski Suhodol, on one of the most difficult and emblematic routes in Pirin.
The Alpine shelter is strategically located. (2,760 meters above sea level) If a person gets into bad weather, he has nowhere else to hide within 4 hours. So far, the shelter has saved the lives of many distressed tourists.
At its only wider section, with two huge precipices on both sides, in 1954-1955 the first Koncheto shelter was built. Since then, the shelter has not been overhauled.
This changes in the period August / September 2018, when the Koncheto shelter was completely rebuilt by the Mountaineers and People Association of Mountain Guides in Bulgaria and with the help of hundreds of volunteers.
