Ravenska Kočna - Češka koča na Spodnjih Ravneh (umik Žrela)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Kranj - east exit and continue along the road towards Jezersko. In Zgornje Jezersko, just a little after the gas station, we will notice a road that branches off to the right from the main road (direction Planšarsko jezero). The road then leads us past the mentioned lake and behind it steeply ascends for a short time. Higher up, the road flattens and at the beginning of a large meadow loses its asphalt covering. We then follow the macadam road to a marked larger parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the macadam road following the signs »Češka koča, Ledine« and after approximately 15 minutes of walking, we come to a cargo cableway.
From the cargo cableway, we continue following the signs for Kranjska koča na Ledinah (skozi žrelo, Slovenska pot) and Češka koča (umik žrela). At first for a short time, we walk through the forest, then the path brings us onto grassy terrain that is partly covered with dwarf pines. Here the path turns slightly to the left and then ascends transversely past sparse dwarf pines, later across scree. This path brings us to a junction. We head right where the sign »Češka koča« on the rock directs us. To the left, the path leads to Koča na Ledinah (Slovenska pot, Skozi žrelo).
The path begins to ascend transversely towards Češka koča (southwest). Later, the path turns somewhat to the left and brings us along a slope partly covered with dwarf pines to a junction below steep walls. We continue right towards Češka koča; to the left, the path leads through žrelo to Ledine. The path then gradually becomes somewhat more demanding and for most of the time, with the aid of a steel cable, crosses a slightly exposed slope towards the west. There follows a short exposed traverse under rock overhangs, after which the path becomes easier and soon brings us to Češka koča along sparse dwarf pines.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Kranjska koča na Ledinah ( 55 min), Vratca, Štruca, Dolgi hrbet, Kokrska Kočna, Skuta, Jezerska Kočna, Grintovec
