Ravenska Kočna - Štajerska Rinka (Slovenska 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. The dirt road is then followed to a marked large parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road following the signs "Češka koča, Ledine" and after about 15 minutes' walk you will reach the cargo cableway.
From the former parking lot of the cargo cableway, follow the path between the two cableways (the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kranjska Cottage burnt down in June 2015) and then slightly uphill. The path soon leaves the forest and continues through dwarf pines. After a while, the path leads to a ravine called Žrelo. Here we are at a crossroads, where we continue left (straight on through Žrelo), and the path then immediately becomes climbable. The path is well protected, but caution is still needed because of the wet rocks. The path over the short wall is also quite exposed in places, but full of good views. After climbing this part, the route returns to the dwarf pines, through which you then climb on a well-beaten path. Continue up quite steeply and soon the route through Žrelo joins from the right. From here to Kranjska hut is only a short 10 steps walk.
From the hut, continue to the left and east in the direction of Ledinski vrh, Mrzla gora and Baba. The path, which is initially quite steep, leads us in a few minutes to a crossroads, where we go to the right path (left climbing route to Babe). The way forward becomes only slightly steeper and leads us to a slightly more difficult passage over a rocky escarpment. Here we are helped by a rope, but the crossing is not difficult in the dry. The path then leads us to the broad slopes below Ledinski vrh, from which there is a fine view towards the glacier below Skuta, which can be seen on the right hand side. The way forward climbs moderately and leads us only a few 10 m before Jezersko sedlo to the next marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Koroška Rinka or Križa (left Ledinski vrh, Velika Baba, Mrzla gora).
The trail then climbs moderately over a less steep scree slope before joining the trail from the Logarska dolina.
The trail then climbs past a natural window and then turns slightly to the right, crossing steep western slopes on the ascent. The trail then turns left and climbs steeply along a glacier. Soon the northern slopes of the mountain are reached and there is some easy climbing on broken rocks without fixed safety gear. Re-acquire the western slopes, where the route climbs very steeply again along the steel cable. From here there is also a very fine view of the precipitous cliffs of the Skute. There is a rather exposed traverse on the western side of the mountain, then the path turns left again and climbs almost vertically along the steel cable. The north slopes of the mountain are reached again and there is a short climb along the steel cable to the top of Koroška Rinka. From Križ, or Koroška Rinka, descend to the other side, along a path that descends steeply towards the valley between Kranjska and Koroška Rinka. The way forward first follows a crumbly gully, then passes onto a scree slope, where you quickly reach a crossroads, where you continue left towards Turski žleb (right Kranjska Rinka for 15 minutes) and then immediately left again on a slightly less well-trodden path leading to the top of the Štajerska Rinka. After about 10 minutes of further ascent, you will reach the top of the Štajerska Rinka.
Ravenska Kočna - Ledine 2:00, Ledine - Koroška Rinka 2:15, Koroška Rinka - Štajerska Rinka 15 minutes.
