Prtovč - Gladki vrh (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 further crosses steep slopes that are dangerous for avalanches in the snow. The trail then turns slightly to the left and begins 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 right along the slightly steeper path towards Gladki vrh. Follow this increasingly scenic path all the way to Gladki vrh, which is reached after 5 minutes of further walking.

On the way: Razor (1450m), Krekova koča na Ratitovcu mountain hut (1642m)
