Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenica take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica turn left towards Tolmin and Soriška mountain pasture. Follow this road to a large parking lot near the Soriška ski centre mountain pasture.
b) From Železniki, drive towards Podbrdo or vice versa, but only until you reach the point where the signs for Soriška planina direct you to the ascending road. Follow this road to the large parking lot at the foot of the Soriška ski slope mountain pasture.
Path description:
From the parking lot under the Soriška planina ski centre, continue along the asphalt road towards Železniki and Podbrdo. Soon, i. e. after about 50 m, we will notice signs for Ratitovec on the left side of the road, which direct us to a marked footpath, which initially descends cart track, then turns left and turns into a slightly more difficult to follow path. The path ahead takes you across a larger grassy clearing, crosses lane of woodland beyond, and then leads to another clearing where you step onto a wide cart track. Follow Cart track to the right and walk along it to a nearby road, which is reached just at the bottom of a short tarmac section. Once on the road, first ascend and then gradually start descending towards the Mišji grund pass, where you join the path from Soriška peča.
From here, continue left on the initially steep cart track towards Ratitovec, which gradually turns into a slightly less steep footpath. Higher up, the path becomes even steeper and passes a slightly larger animal watering place on the right. From here on, the forest becomes rarer, so that the path begins to open up increasingly beautiful views of Porezen, Blegoš and other surrounding peaks. The path continues to climb for some time, then crosses over to a more extensive grassy slope, where we step onto a small undistinguished saddle.
Here a "path" branches off to the left to the nearby Žbajnek, the summit of which is reached after less than 5 minutes of further walking.
