Bohinjsko sedlo - Altemaver (Ratitovec)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica, we continue left in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. We then follow this road to a large parking lot near the ski center Soriška planina.
B) From Železniki, we drive towards Podbrdo or vice versa, but only to the spot where the signs for Soriška planina direct us onto an ascending road. We then follow this road to a large parking lot at the foot of the ski area Soriška planina.

Route description:
From the parking lot below the ski center Soriška planina, we continue on the asphalt road towards Železniki and Podbrdo. Soon, i.e., after approximately 50 m, we will notice signs for Ratitovec on the left side of the road, which direct us onto a marked footpath; this first descends along a cart track, then turns left and changes into a somewhat harder-to-follow pathlet. The path ahead leads us across a larger grassy clearing, behind which it crosses a strip of forest, then brings us to another clearing, where we step onto a wide cart track. We follow the cart track to the right and walk along it to the nearby road, which we reach right at the lower end of a short asphalted section. When we step onto the road, we first ascend, then gradually begin to descend towards the pass Mišji grund, where we join the path from Soriška peč.
From here, we continue left onto an initially steep cart track in the direction of Ratitovec, which gradually changes into a somewhat less steep footpath. Higher up, the path levels out even more and bypasses a somewhat larger watering place for animals on the right side. From here on, the forest becomes progressively thinner, so that increasingly beautiful views of Porezen, Blegoš, and other surrounding peaks begin to open up from the path. The path ahead ascends transversely for a while, then transitions to a more extensive grassy slope, where we reach a smaller indistinct saddle.
Here, a "path" branches off to the left to the nearby Žbajnek, which is less than 5 minutes' walk away; we continue straight on the marked path, which turns slightly left and then ascends to a smaller ridge.
When we reach the ridge, we notice the inscription "žig," which leads to the nearby Kačji rob (1 minute); we continue slightly right on the marked path, which descends to the nearby mountain pasture Zgornji Jirn.
Here, we continue straight past two shepherds' huts (one is not visible from the path) and ascend a moderately steep grassy slope. Soon the path levels out and turns somewhat to the right, where it begins to descend somewhat more steeply. The path ahead leads past a smaller watering place, after which we quickly arrive at a somewhat larger valley, which we merely cross. On the other side of the valley, the path begins to ascend steeply through the forest, then gradually levels out and brings us to the extensive pastures of Ratitovec. Across the panoramic grazing areas, we quickly reach the summit of Kremant, which we recognize by the stamp on a metal pole; from it, we gradually descend to a marked junction, where the path from Zgornjih Danj joins.
Here, we continue straight and follow the path, which several times rises slightly and then descends again, to a marked junction, where the path to Altemaver branches off to the right.
We continue in the mentioned direction (slightly left to Koča na Ratitovcu) and after 5 minutes of ascent arrive at the panoramic summit.
