Ravenska Kočna - Jezerska Kočna (via Štularjeva planina and on path Frischaufova pot)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj - East and follow the road towards Jezersko. At Zgornje Jezersko, just past the petrol station, you will see a road that branches off the main road to the right (towards Planšarsko jezero). The road then takes you past the lake and climbs steeply behind it for a short distance. Higher up, the road flattens out and loses its asphalt surface at the beginning of a large meadow. At the end of the meadow there is a small roadside parking lot, where we park.

Path description:
Near the parking lot you will see signs for the Bohemian Cottage. The dirt track leads quickly into the forest, where it climbs only slightly. After a few minutes' walking, you reach a crossroads, where you continue along the steeper right-hand cart track. This quickly turns into a steep footpath which climbs up alongside the torrent. A little higher up, the path crosses the torrent and continues to climb near it. The steepness then gives way and the path leads to the abandoned Štularje mountain pasture.
The path then goes into the forest again and the path from the lower station of the goods cableway joins us on the left. Just a few tens of metres further on, the path from the neighbouring Makekove Kočna valley joins us from the right. The path then passes out of the forest onto steep slopes, which are well protected. Even without the fixed safety gear, the route is not particularly difficult. The increasingly scenic route then soon leads over a ladder into the Mrzla dolina (Frost Valley). Here, cold air descends down an undistinguished valley. In the morning you can see that it is slightly cooler here (in windy weather there is no difference). Next, it is just a few minutes of easy walking to the Bohemian Hut.
From the hut, continue to the right along the path in the direction of Kočna, Grintovec and Vratca (Kranjska hut via Žrelo on the left). After a short climb, you reach flat ground marked H (for helicopter landing). The path continues along the initially folded scree, which is partly covered with dwarf pines. In the lower part of the scree, the path to Vratca branches off to the right, and we continue straight on in the direction of Kočna and Grintovec. After about half an hour's walk from the hut, we reach the next crossroads. Continue along the left path towards Grintovec (right Kočna - Kremžarjeva cesta) on the path that quickly leads us to the start of the wall. Here you put on your helmet and start the climbing part of the route. The climbing is not difficult at first, but the ascent is dangerous because of the rubble on the path (risk of slipping). The climbing wall then becomes steeper and fixed safety gear are more and more frequent. Climbing on natural passages through grooves, gullies and ledges follows. Throughout the climb, there are beautiful views of Jezersko and the surrounding peaks. After nearly two hours of "climbing", we leave the wall at Mlinarsko sedlo, where we can see southwards. Here we are at a crossroads, where we turn right (Dolgi hrbet and Skuta to the left, straight down to the bivouac under Grintovec) and continue walking along and along the initially unexposed ridge. The path then passes to the axial side of the ridge, where you reach the next crossroads. Continue right in the direction of Zdolška škrbina and Kočna (left Grintovec) along the path that runs along the north side of Grintovec. After a short crossing, the path starts to descend towards Zdolška notch. In the more difficult places, fixed safety gear is helpful. The path then leads to Zdolška škrbina, where the descent ends. Continue straight towards the top of Jezerska Kočna (to the right Češka koča, where you can descend, to the left Kokrsko sedlo) on a path that quickly leads to one of the most interesting passes in the Slovenian mountains. The trail leads to a belly-shaped passage through which you have to crawl. The path goes on to a short scree slope, after which we step onto a steeper path, where we are helped by a few wedges and rocks. This increasingly scenic route is then followed to a little spacious summit. Ravenska Kočna - Češka koča 1:30, Češka koča - Milnarsko sedlo 2:45, Mlinarsko sedlo - Vrh 2:15.
