Koča pod slapom Rinka - Vellacher Turm/Storžek

Access to the starting point:
We drive to Luce (to get here from Mozirje or via Kranjski rak) and on to the Logar valley. Shortly after the village Solčava, you will come to a crossroads where the road to the Logarska dolina branches off to the left. Turn left towards the Logar valley (pay the toll) and follow the road to the parking area at the cottage under the Rinka waterfall, where you park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the wide tourist trail, which starts to climb gently. After a good ten-minute walk, you will emerge from the forest and reach a crossroads. Turn left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of the house at Okrešlju. The path crosses a small bridge and starts to climb steeply on the other side. After a short climb, the path leads us under the walls, from where we cross to the top of the waterfall. This part is exposed to falling rocks. The path then crosses the Savinja again and continues upwards along the river using steps. The ascent continues along the right-hand side (left bank) of Savinjek. Soon you reach the spring Savinjek, where you cross the water again. On the other side, the path goes into a dense forest and after a short climb leads to the winter shelter at Okrešlju. Continue to the left and in a few steps you will reach the house at Okrešlju.
At the home, take the path in the direction of Kamniško and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon you will come to the edge of a meadow where there is a crossroads. Continue straight across the meadow in the direction of Češka and Kranjska koča (Kamniško sedlo on the left). The path crosses a torrent and then climbs slightly upwards along the rubble. Soon you will reach the next crossroads, where the path to Turški žleb (Turški žleb) and the memorial to the left branches off and is only a few dozen steps walk away. Continue straight ahead through the narrowing valley. The path begins to climb steeply and leads us under the walls of Mrzla Gora. The path continues along the left side of the torrent, on a moderately steep grassy slope partly covered with dwarf pines. The path then passes to the left side under the scree of the Štajerska Rinka. In a cross-climb the path leads us under the cliffs, where there is a danger of falling rocks. There is a short steep jump, and then the path veers slightly to the right onto grassy slopes, where we reach a crossroads. Continue straight ahead and the path to Mrzla Gora branches off to the right. Soon we come to a crossroads again, where the climbing path to Rinke branches off to the left, and we continue straight on along the path, which soon turns right into steep slopes. Here the path climbs steeply and leads us in a few minutes to the bivouac under Mrzlim vrh. At the bivouac, the path turns right and climbs steeply for a few steps, then the steepness eases. It is then a short walk to Savinjsko sedlo, where the state border is. From Savinjsko sedlo continue slightly right (left Jezersko sedlo) along the path which starts descending towards the valley of Belska Kočna. After a few minutes of descending, you will see a large rock inscription "Klettersteig" on the left side of the path. Leave the path here towards the valley of Belská Koča and head left up a slightly less well-trodden track. The path, which is marked with red dots, soon leads to the entrance to the climbing part of the route. The climbing route initially crosses the steep eastern slope of the mountain to the north with the help of a rope and crampons. The route then turns left and climbs steeply upwards along the scree. Later, the path leads to a steep partly grassy slope where caution is needed as the path is often slippery. In the last part of the path turn left and there is a short climb up an unprotected slope towards the summit.
