Pečana - Krekova koča na Ratitovcu

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving to Soriška planina. At a junction, continue straight on to Železniki (sharp right Soriška planina), and we follow the main road for about 1 km, then turn right towards Ribčeva mountain pasture. Higher up, the asphalt ends and the dirt road splits into two parts. Continue along the road to the right, which leads to Ribčeva mountain pasture. At the junction above mountain pasture, turn right, then left at the next two junctions. From the second junction, where you continue left, drive for another 100 m to the next junction, turn right and then drive to the end of the road, where you park. From the crossroads on Bitenjska planina to the starting point is approximately 7. 5 km.
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo, take the first exit to Soriška planina and then continue driving towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From the parking lot at Soriška planina drive for about 1 km and then turn right onto the forest road. At the first crossroads, which you reach after driving about 2 km from where you left the main road, turn left and then slightly right at the next crossroads, which is a few kilometres later. From the second junction, drive for another 100 metres, then turn right at the next junction and continue to the end of the road, where you can park in a suitable space.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the wide cart track, which begins a relatively steep climb through the forest. After about 10 minutes' walking, cart track lays down, and then only a little further on leads to the huts at mountain pasture Pečana.
A few steps above these huts, we emerge from the forest onto grassy slopes, and we continue along the right-hand side of mountain pasture for just a few metres, and then at the crossroads we continue to the right in the direction of the Krek huts (straight Kosmati vrh). The way ahead begins to climb moderately through an increasingly sparse spruce forest. Higher up, we finally emerge from the forest onto the vast pastures of Ratitovec, where we leave cart track and continue our ascent along a slightly less visible, but marked path which, after a few minutes' further walking, leads us to the top slopes of Ratitovec, where we are joined on the right by the path from Soriška mountain pasture. Continue to the left and follow the increasingly scenic path that leads past the winter bivouac all the way to Krekova koča na Ratitovcu, only to reach it after less than 5 minutes of further walking.
