Ravenska Kočna - Kranjska koča na Ledinah (hunter's way)

Access to starting point:
From the Gorenjska motorway, Kranj or Preddvor, we drive to Zgornje Jezersko, then approximately 1 km after the Petrol gas station, we turn right in the direction of Planšarsko jezero and Češka koča. Further, we drive past the mentioned lake, and then the road leads us through a larger meadow, where the asphalt ends and from which a beautiful view opens up on the surrounding mountains, and then the road returns into the forest, where it first crosses a torrent. A little further, the road splits, and we continue on the right road (left Gorniški center Davo Karničar and also the footpath to Jenkovo planina and former starting point for the mentioned mountain pasture), on which we quickly reach a large marked parking lot, where we park.

Route description:
Somewhere in the middle of the large parking lot a passage opens to the left, by which there are mountaineering signs for Velika Baba, Goli vrh and a sign for the hunting path on Ledine. We start on a cart track which brings us to the edge of a meadow, where on the left side we will notice Gorniški center. We continue straight to well-visible signposts at the nearby junction, from which we continue right (straight Goli vrh, Velika Baba) in the direction of the mountain hut on Ledine (on the sign Vadine). The path ahead for some time still runs through the forest, then below the mountain walls of Velika (Koroška) Baba the forest starts to thin, and the path more and more passes among dwarf pines. A little further, we cross also a mighty torrent, which we had on the right side all the time during the walk, then we join the path from the bottom station of a cargo cableway, where used to be a starting point. The path follows the torrent for a short time or to the beginning of the steeper part of the path. The path then steeply ascends, and we also get help from some steel cables, with the help of which we ascend a level higher (in wet danger of slipping). Difficulties then decrease, and the path continues steeply ascending, mostly on the northern slopes. After an hour and a half of walking, we come to a pleasant resting place, where a bench and table delight us. Near the resting place, which is also a nice viewpoint, there is a memorial plaque in memory of the victims of the crashed helicopter. From here to the hut, which we reach after a good 20 minutes of further walking, there are no more technically demanding spots.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Bivak pod Mrzlim vrhom, Ledinski vrh, Vellacher Turm/Storžek, Velika (Koroška) Baba, Mrzla gora, Štajerska Rinka, Koroška Rinka, Kranjska Rinka

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
