Prtovč - Altemaver (Ratitovec) (via Razor)

Access to the starting point:
First we drive to Škofja Loka, then continue driving towards Železniki. In Železniki we reach a crossroads where the road to Kropa branches off to the right. We continue straight ahead and follow the main road for only about 100 m, and then the signs for Prtovč direct us to the right onto an ascending road, which we follow to a large parking lot near the church in the village.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk past the church and the NOB monument to the beginning of the village, where you will come to a well-marked crossroads. Continue slightly right towards Ratitovec via Razor (left Ratitovec via Poden) along the road, which leads past houses to a wide and well-trodden path.
The marked path immediately enters the forest and begins to climb crosswise over relatively steep slopes. Higher up, the path crosses a porer forest road, and just a little further along, a marked path joins us from the hunting lodge on the right. Continue in the direction of Ratitovec along the gently sloping path, which then crosses steep slopes that are dangerous for avalanches in the snow. The path then turns slightly to the left and starts to climb steeply. The steepness soon gives way and the path leads to a small plain called Razor, where there is also a crossroads.
Continue straight on (right Kosmati vrh, mountain pasture Klom and Krek's cottage over Vratec) along a wide path which soon turns to the left and starts to climb steeply. The path then crosses a short lane of forest, and then leads to the grassy slopes of Ratitovec. Here the path is laid, turns slightly to the right and leads us to the Krek huts on Ratitovec, with beautiful views.
From the hut, continue along the marked path in the direction of Soriška mountain pasture. The trail first descends gently to the winter bivouac, where the trail from mountain pasture Pečana joins us from the right, and we continue straight on to the animal watering point, where the trail stops descending. The way ahead starts to climb steeply along the pasture fence and after a few minutes of climbing leads us to the eastern headland of Altemaver. There is a short descent and then the marked path turns slightly to the right. Exactly at the point where the marked trail leading to Soriška planina turns slightly to the right, we leave it and continue our ascent along a clearly visible trail towards the summit of Altemaver, which continues along the ridge of Ratitovec. Follow this scenic route to the highest peak of Ratitovec, which is reached after a further 10 steps.
