Koča pod slapom Rinka - Skuta (via Turski žleb)

Access to the starting point:
We drive to Luce (to get here from Mozirje or via Kranjski rak) and on to the Logar valley. Shortly after the village Solčava you will reach a crossroads where you turn left into the Logarska dolina (toll in the summer season from 7am onwards) and drive along the road to the parking lot at the cottage under the Rinka waterfall and park there.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the wide tourist trail, which starts to climb gently. After a good ten-minute walk, you will reach the Rinka waterfall.
Continue in the direction of the house at Okrešlju. The path crosses a small bridge and starts to climb steeply on the other side. After a short climb, the path leads us above the waterfall. This part is exposed to falling rocks. The path then crosses the Savinja again above the waterfall and continues up the river using steps. Soon you reach the source of the Savinja. Then, after a short climb, the path through the beech forest leads to the winter shelter at Okrešl. About a hundred metres to the left is the Okrešl home.
Continue across the meadow and right into the forest. The path continues to climb gently upwards along the rubble. Soon you will reach the next crossroads, where you turn left for Turski žleb. There is also a memorial at the crossroads. The path then begins to climb steeply and leads us to the entrance to the Turski žleb. It is recommended to wear a helmet and a self-protection kit on the way through the chute. The trail then leads to the entrance to the climbing part of the trail in the chute (which can be avoided by continuing straight ahead on the rubble). After a very difficult climb on numerous scrambles, the trail becomes progressively less difficult and soon the last ropes end. There is a relatively steep climb up the rubbly terrain to the top of the chute. In the upper part, when climbing on the rubble, one has to be very careful not to break any rocks.
At the top of Turski žleb, where there is also a crossroads, turn right for Skuta and Rinke. The path from the chute to the foot of the Skute is easy. At first climb a little then descend a little and cross the scree to the entrance to the Skute wall. In the wall on the way to the top, the fixed safety gear, especially the rungs, are helpful. In between, the route leads to a very airy ridge above the ramp, where we are helped by ropes, and then the route goes up the wall again. Again we are helped by the rungs, which lead us to the top of the Skute. The steepness eases a little and we reach the top shortly afterwards.

On the way: Orlovo gnezdo mountain hut (Rinka waterfall) (1120m), izvir Savinje (1280m), Frischaufov dom na Okrešlju (1396m), Turski žleb (2114m)
