Koča pod slapom Rinka - Velika (Koroška) Baba

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 come to a crossroads where the road to Logarska dolina turns left. Turn left towards the Logar valley (pay the toll) and follow the road to the parking lot at the Cottage under the Rinka waterfall, where you park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the wide tourist trail, which starts to climb gently. After a good ten-minute walk, you will emerge from the forest and reach a crossroads. Turn left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) 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 under the walls, from where we cross to the top of the waterfall. This part is exposed to falling rocks. The path then crosses the Savinja again and continues upwards along the river using steps. The ascent continues along the right-hand side (left bank) of Savinjek. Soon you reach the spring Savinjek, where you cross the water again. On the other side, the path goes into a dense forest and after a short climb leads to the winter shelter at Okrešlju. Continue to the left and in a few steps you will reach the house at Okrešlju.
At the home, take the path in the direction of Kamniško and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon you will come to the edge of a meadow where there is a crossroads. Continue straight across the meadow in the direction of Češka and Kranjska koča (Kamniško sedlo on the left). The path crosses a torrent and then climbs slightly upwards along the rubble. Soon you will reach the next crossroads, where the path to Turški žleb (Turški žleb) and the memorial to the left branches off and is only a few dozen steps walk away. Continue straight ahead through the narrowing valley. The path starts to climb steeply and leads us under the walls of Mrzla Gora. The path continues along the left side of the torrent, on a moderately steep grassy slope partly covered with dwarf pines. The path then passes to the left side under the scree of the Štajerska Rinka. In a cross-climb the path leads us under the cliffs, where there is a danger of falling rocks. There is a short steep jump, and then the path veers slightly to the right onto grassy slopes, where we come to a crossroads. Continue straight ahead and the path to Mrzla Gora branches off to the right. Soon we come to a crossroads again, where the climbing path to Rinke branches off to the left, and we continue straight on along the path, which soon turns right into steep slopes. Here the path climbs steeply and leads us in a few minutes to the bivouac below Mrzlim vrh. At the bivouac, the path turns right and climbs steeply for a few steps, then the steepness eases. It is then a short walk to Savinjsko sedlo, where the state border is. Continue on the Austrian side towards Kranjska hut. After a short climb, the path descends for a few metres and then ascends in a slight cross-climb on scree to Jezersko sedlo. Continue right along the ridge and the path soon leads to a crossroads where the path to Babe branches off to the right. Continue right down towards Velika Babe, 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 huts 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.

On the way: Orlovo gnezdo mountain hut (Rinka waterfall) (1120m), Dom na Okrešlju mountain hut (1396m), Savinjsko sedlo (2001m), Jezersko sedlo (2034m)
