Koča pod slapom Rinka - Ledinski vrh

Access to starting point:
We drive to Luče (to here from Mozirje or over Kranjski rak) and onwards towards Logarska dolina. Soon after the village Solčava we come to the junction, where the road to Logarska dolina branches off to the left. We turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment) and drive along the road to the parking lot at the hut Koča pod slapom Rinka, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a wide tourist path that starts gently ascending. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest and reach a junction. We go left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of Dom na Okrešlju. The path ahead crosses a small bridge and on the other side starts ascending more steeply. After a short ascent, the path brings us below the walls, from where a crossing to the top of the waterfall follows. This part is exposed to falling rocks. The path then crosses Savinja again and ascends further along the river with the help of steps. Next, we ascend on the right side (left bank) of Savinja. Soon we come to the source of Savinja, where we cross the water again. On the other side, the path enters dense forest and after a short ascent brings us to the winter shelter on Okrešlju. We continue left and in a few steps come to Dom na Okrešlju.

At the hut, we head onto the path in the direction of Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon we come to the edge of a panoramic meadow, where there is a junction. We continue straight across the meadow in the direction of Češka koča and Kranjska koča (left Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead crosses a torrent and then ascends beside scree slightly upwards. Soon we come to the next junction, where to the left branches the path to Turški žleb and to the memorial plaque, which is just a few dozen steps away. We continue straight through the ever-narrower valley. The path starts ascending more steeply and brings us below the walls of Mrzla gora. The path ahead continues on the left side of the torrent, on a moderately steep grassy slope partly overgrown with dwarf pines. The path ahead passes to the left side below the scree of Štajerska Rinka. In a diagonal ascent, the path brings us below the walls, where there is danger of falling rocks. A short steep section follows, then the path heads slightly right onto grassy slopes, where we reach a junction. We continue straight, to the right branches the path to Mrzla gora. Soon we come again to a junction, where to the left upwards branches the climbing path to Rinke, while we continue straight on the path that soon turns right into steep slopes. Here the path ascends steeply and brings us in a few minutes to the bivouac pod Mrzlim vrhom. At the bivouac the path turns right and ascends steeply for a few more steps, then the steepness eases. A few steps of walking follow to Savinjsko sedlo, where there is the state border. Further, we continue on the Austrian side towards Kranjska koča. After a short ascent, the path descends a few meters, then in a gentle diagonal ascent over scree climbs to Jezersko sedlo. We continue right along the ridge and the path soon brings us to a junction, where to the right branches the path to Babe. We continue straight on the ridge path, which in a few-minute ascent brings us to the panoramic and crumbly summit.
