Ravenska Kočna - Mrzla gora (hunting path)

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, follow the path on the left side of the cableway to Ledine (the lower station of the cableway burnt down in June 2015). The path initially runs through the forest, but soon turns into the dwarf pines, where it climbs steeply along the edge of a mighty torrent. The path follows this torrent all the way to the start of the steeper part of the route. The path then climbs steeply and is aided by a couple of ropes, which help you to climb a step higher (slip hazard in wet conditions). The difficulties then ease and the path continues to climb steeply, mostly on the northern slopes. After an hour and a half's walk, you reach a pleasant resting place, where a bench and a table cheer you up. Near the rest area, which is also a nice viewpoint, there is a memorial plaque commemorating the victims of the helicopter crash. From here on, there are no more technically difficult places to reach the hut, which is reached after a further 20 minutes' walk.
From the hut, continue left to the east in the direction of Ledinski vrh, Mrzla gora and Rink. 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 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. From Jezersko sedlo continue right towards Savinjsko sedlo, which is reached after about 15 minutes of cross-country walking. From this saddle, descend towards Okrešl. After a few minutes of descending, we reach a small emergency bivouac, where we sign the entry book (bivouac under Mrzlim vrh). We continue descending and soon reach a crossroads, where the climbing route to Koroška Rinka branches off to the right up the scree, and we continue down. Soon the path to Mrzla Gora branches off to the left at 1700m. The path initially climbs through the rare dwarf pines and then leads us to a steel cable over a rock slab. Here you should put on your helmets, as the path ahead is very crumbly and exposed to falling rocks. From the steel cable the path leads to a ravine which we cross. We now reach the climbing part of the route. The route is well protected at the beginning, but the fixed safety gear soon runs out. There is an unguarded climb up a pyramid-shaped slope. As this part of the path is very steep, watch out for falling rocks. Before you reach the top of the pyramid you have the feeling that there is a summit. But when you get to the "top" you see that this is not the case. There is a very exposed crossing of a narrow shelf without fixed safety gear. At the end of this shelf, the route turns left up a moderately steep wall straight up (without fixed safety gear). The route then follows a ridge which is quite exposed in places. The path then turns slightly to the right and leads to the summit in 30 minutes on quite steep terrain. The path is very difficult and poorly guarded. Helmets are compulsory.
