Koča pod slapom Rinka - Turska gora (via Kotliči)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Luče (to here from Mozirje or over Kranjski rak) and continue towards Logarska dolina. Soon after the village Solčava we come to the crossroads, 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 mountain hut Koča pod slapom Rinka, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a wide tourist path which starts gently ascending. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest, where we come to 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 it starts ascending steeper. After a short ascent, the path brings us below the mountain walls, from where a crossing to the top of the waterfall follows. This part is exposed to falling stones. After that, the path crosses Savinja again and then ascends upwards along the river with the help of stairs. Next we ascend on the right side (left bank) of Savinja. Soon, we come to the source of Savinja, where we again cross the water. On the other side, the path goes into a dense forest and after a short ascent, it brings us to the winter shelter on Okrešelj. We continue left and in a few steps we come to the mountain hut Dom na Okrešlju.
At the hut we head onto a 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 left in the direction of Kamniško sedlo on the path which first moderately ascends through the forest and then across a belt of bushes. The path then flattens completely and in a short crossing brings us to a scree, on which along a well-made path we ascend to the entrance into a less demanding wall. Further, with the help of numerous fixed protections we ascend one level higher, where the steepness somewhat eases, but the path is still quite steep and exposed to falling stones. Higher, the path brings us to a steep and in snow dangerous for slipping scree, which we merely cross. A short ascent follows on a wide and somewhat exposed ledge, behind which the path brings us to the extensive grassy slopes of Kamniško sedlo. Just a few steps further we come to a junction, where we continue right in the direction of Turska gora and Brana (left Kamniška koča na Kamniškem sedlu 10 minutes). The path, which further ascends on an increasingly rocky slope, quickly brings us to a scree which is in snow dangerous for slipping. We cross the scree in a slight diagonal ascent, then the path brings us to the next junction, where we continue on the right path (left Brana). The path then crosses the slopes below Brana for some time, then with the help of fixed protections descends into a distinct notch called Kotliči. A well-secured and very steep path then brings us to the most scenic part of the path. Along a still well-secured path we ascend through the "sod brez dna" natural window in the wall of Turska gora. The steepness then gradually eases and the increasingly panoramic path quickly brings us to the summit of Turska gora.
