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 at the cargo cableway, follow the signs Kranjska koča na Ledinah - through Žrelo. At first you walk through the forest for a short time, and then the path leads you to a grassy area partly covered with dwarf pines. Here the path turns slightly to the left and then ascends crosswise along the sparse dwarf pines, and later along the scree. This path leads to the first crossroads, where the path to Češka koča (Czech Hut) branches off to the right. The crossroads is marked by the inscription 'Češka koča' on a rock. After only a few dozen metres of ascent, we are back at the crossroads. This time, the Slovenian Trail branches off to the left into the wall. We continue slightly to the right and start climbing up a steep scree slope. This part of the trail may still have snowfields in late summer. In the upper part of the scree, the path from Češka hut (through Žrelo) joins us from the right. Here we continue left and soon enter a ravine called Žrelo. Due to the very high risk of falling rocks, it is compulsory to wear a helmet when climbing through the ravine.
In the gully, first climb cross-country along a steel track, followed by a short, very steep climb right upwards. The slightly downward curving rungs and the rappel are helpful. There is a left traverse on a slightly crumbly slope and then a climb up the gully alongside the steel cable. In the last part, the gully becomes a little steeper and, in addition to the rope, we are helped by a few wedges and crampons. Then, with the help of a few pegs, you exit the gully up to the left and the path becomes easier again.
After a few metres, the Slovenian trail joins us from the left and there is an easy climb up to Koča na Ledinah.
From the hut, continue left to the 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 rocky escarpment. Here we are helped by a rope, but the crossing is not difficult in dry conditions. The path then leads us to the broad slopes below Ledinski vrh from which there is a fine view towards the glacier below Skuta, which can be seen on the right. 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.

Za neizkušene in tiste z vrtoglavico ta pot odpade. Sama sem šla s partnerjem, brez da bi pot prej preverila in sem šla prvič in zadnjič. Vso noč nisem zatisnila očesa, ker so se mi prikazovale slike prepadov

Anansie28. 06. 2018 |
Se strinjam, da za vrtoglave in prestrašene glede prepadov ta pot ni, ampak očitno te partner ne pozna ali pa se ne ozira na tvoje sposobnosti...sicer je ena zelo lahka pot, sama gora pa resnično lepa in razgledna

To je bila najina prva tovrstna tura, tako da sedaj ve, kaj in kako Po kateri poti pa predlagate, da grem naslednjič?

Vitaja28. 06. 2018 |
Dobro, čevprav berem, da je pot nezavarovana in mestoma kar izpostavljena. Problem je v tem, da me je strah višine (včasih dobim napad panike, ampak se zberem in grem dalje), želja je pa velika.

Torej se je pametno lotiti hribov počasi in stopnjevati poti glede zahtevnosti. Se pa da pomagati. Moj prijatelj je imel zelo hude težave,zdaj pa hodiva po tudi najbolj zahtevnih poteh. Ima pa veliko hribov tudi lažje pristope. Izbor je velik. Glede V.Babe pa je najlažji,zame najbolj dolgočasen, pristop z Jezerskega sedla. Po tej se običajno vračam. Regina

Ja, se poskušam tako lotevati. Hvala Regina. Avgusta nameravam na Triglav, s komplet varovalno opremo in upam, da bo šlo. Se psihično pripravljam.

Vitaja, pot na Babo čez Jenkovo planino ni za vrtoglave, ker ni varovana in grebenska, kot je napisala Lepenatka, čez Jezersko sedlo po avstrijski strani. Sicer pa raje na Jezerskem sedlu zavij na Ledinski vrh pa si še za odtenek na boljšem Lepih nezahtevnih poti je ogromno, Triglav je za moje pojme najslabša izbira

Lisica28. 06. 2018 |
@trdi, ti se sigurno hecaš s to Jenkovo planino , jaz bi rekla da absolutno ni primerna za nekoga s strahom pred prepadi da hodi po vrhu grebena s prepadi na obe strani. @ Vitaja - Najlažja bi bila po lovski mimo Ledin in čez Jezersko sedlo. Torej tale zgoraj opisana ampak ne čez Žrelo. Za Triglav se bo pa treba privadit tudi na greben s prepadi na obe strani... V gužvi se bo težko pripenjat.

Vitaja28. 06. 2018 |
Anansie, hvala, tudi sama mislim, da za enkrat pot čez Jenkovo ni zame. Kar se pa tiče Triglava bi pa poskusila, v najslabšem primeru počakam spodaj na koči (Kredarici oz. Pokljuki).

No ok, ampak če si šla čez žrelo gor, bo tudi na triglav šlo, pred Triglavom bi pa priporočil plezalni poti na Peco in Raduho, ali pa na Kepo ali kaj podobno začetniškega, nato pa nadaljuješ po poti čez žrelo na Storžič, na Kamniško sedlo iz Okrešlja in tako dalje... Postopoma stopnjuješ in bo tudi strah pred višino manjši

Vitaja28. 06. 2018 |
@Trdi, ok, bom probala res na Peco ali na Raduho po plezalni. Na Kamniškem sedlu sem bila lani, 2x manjši napad panike, ko sem šla navzgor, ampak je šlo Nazaj dol mi ni problem, težave imam, ko grem navzgor. Hvala za nasvet!

Zanimivo. Večina pohodnikov ima na izpostavljenih poteh večje težave pri hoji navzdol...

Vitaja28. 06. 2018 |
@primoza Ja, sem pogledala pot in tudi meni je ljubša pot na Peco. @garmont nimam pojma, ampak jaz grem lažje dol. @Lisica hvala, naslednjič mimo Ledin čez Jezersko sedlo

Točno tako kot pravi trdi, smo se lotili problema pri nas in uspeli . Tudi ožji grebeni niso več problem. Pa srečno vsem.

coffee28. 06. 2018 |
Kot je Lisica rekla, če maš težave s prepadi ob grebenskem prečenju, ne vem a je zato to gor al dol (c:, pol pred Triglavom dosti potreniri.
