Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj - East and follow the road towards Jezersko. At Zgornje Jezersko, just past the petrol station, you will see a road that branches off the main road to the right (towards Planšarsko jezero). The road then takes you past the lake and climbs steeply behind it for a short distance. Higher up, the road flattens out and loses its asphalt surface at the beginning of a large meadow. The dirt road is then followed to a marked large parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road following the signs "Češka koča, Ledine" and after about 15 minutes' walk you will reach the cargo cableway.
From the former parking lot of the cargo cableway, follow the path between the two cableways (the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kranjska Cottage burnt down in June 2015) and then slightly uphill. The path soon leaves the forest and continues through dwarf pines. After a while, the path leads to a ravine called Žrelo. Here we are at a crossroads, where we continue left (straight on through Žrelo), and the path then immediately becomes climbable. The path is well protected, but caution is still needed because of the wet rocks. The path over the short wall is also quite exposed in places, but full of good views. After climbing this part, the route returns to the dwarf pines, through which you then climb on a well-surfaced path. Continue up quite steeply and soon the route through Žrelo joins from the right. From here to Kranjska hut is only a short 10 steps walk.
From the hut, continue to the left and east in the direction of Ledinski vrh, Mrzla gora and Baba. The path, which is initially quite steep, leads us in a few minutes to a crossroads, where we go to the right path (left climbing on Babe). The way forward becomes only slightly steeper and leads us to a slightly more difficult passage over a rock peak. Here we are helped by a rope, but the crossing is not difficult in dry conditions. The path then leads us to the wide slopes below Ledinski vrh from which there is a beautiful view towards the glacier below Skuta, which can be seen on the right hand side. The path then leads us in a moderate ascent to Jezersko sedlo, bordering neighbouring Austria. Continue left towards Baba and Ledinski vrh on a path that climbs moderately along the ridge. After a few minutes you reach a crossroads at a small saddle between Ledinski vrh and Storžek. Continue right downhill towards Velika Baba, and the path to Ledinski vrh leads along the ridge to the left. From the saddle, the path first descends on scree and then turns slightly to the left and crosses the slopes below Ledinski vrh. A short climb follows and a very difficult path from the Ledine hut joins us from the left. The trail becomes a little more challenging as it climbs northwards. Later, the path turns left and retreats down the steep cliffs to the west side of the mountain. The trail then crosses the western slopes to the north and turns right at the last part, followed by a short climb to a very scenic summit.
Starting point - Kranjska koča 2:00, Kranjska koča - Velika Baba 2:15.

Danes sem bil na Ledinskem vrhu in Veliki babi preko Jezerskega sedla. Med tem so mi neznani zlikovci vlomili v avtomobil, parkiran na glavnem parkirišču blizu odcepa za Jenkovo planino. V avtomobilu ni bilo nič vrednega, so pa nekoliko poškodovali vrata in prebrskali prtljažnik. Ker je bilo tam parkiranih še kakšnih šest avtomobilov, predvidevam, da so poskušali še pri kakšnem. To je že druga slaba izkušnja, pred štirimi leti so mi na isti način vlomili v avtomobil v Krmi. Bo treba drugič kar psa pri avtu pustit!

Prejšnjo nedeljo opravil to turo in bil navdušen nad lepotami in lepimi razgledi. Tudi na Veliko in Malo Babo ni lahkih poti - vse so zahtevne. Kranjčani imajo malo čudno rangirane zahtevnosti poti in naj pohodnike to ne zavede. Grebenska pot preko Jenkove planine je zelo izpostavljena, krušljiva in nevarovana. Ta pot je še najlažja a nikakor ne lahka, saj moraš skozi Žrelo, Slovensko pot ali po lovski, kjer je plezanje zelo lepo varovano. Je pa potrebna pazljivost pri vzponu na Veliko Babo, še posebej na izpostavljenem delu kjer se poti združita in pa v vršnem predelu, ki je zelo krušljiv in pot je polna drobnih kamenčkov. Enako velja tudi za prehod iz Velike na Malo Babo. Lepa pot, ki se jo splača prehoditi, nikakor pa ni za pocenjevati.
