Ravenska Kočna - Bivak pod Mrzlim vrhom (Slovenska pot)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj - East and follow the road towards Jezersko. At Zgornje Jezersko, just past the petrol station, you will see a road that branches off the main road to the right (towards Planšarsko jezero). The road then takes you past the lake and climbs steeply behind it for a short distance. Higher up, the road flattens out and loses its asphalt surface at the beginning of a large meadow. The dirt road is then followed to a marked large parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road following the signs "Češka koča, Ledine" and after about 15 minutes' walk you will reach the cargo cableway.
From the former parking lot of the cargo cableway, follow the path between the two cableways (the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kranjska Cottage burnt down in June 2015) and then slightly uphill. The path soon leaves the forest and continues through dwarf pines. After a while, the path leads to a ravine called Žrelo. Here we are at a crossroads, where we continue left (straight on through Žrelo), and the path then immediately becomes climbable. The path is well protected, but caution is still needed because of the wet rocks. The path over the short wall is also quite exposed in places, but full of good views. After climbing this part, the route returns to the dwarf pines, through which you then climb on a well-surfaced path. Continue up quite steeply and soon the route through Žrelo joins from the right. From here to Kranjska hut is only a short 10 steps walk.
From the hut, turn left to the east in the direction of Ledinski vrh, Mrzla gora and Rink. The path, which is initially quite steep, leads us in a few minutes to a crossroads, where we go to the right path (left climbing on Babe). The way forward becomes only slightly steeper and leads us to a slightly more difficult crossing over a rock peak. Here we are helped by a rope, but the crossing is not difficult in dry conditions. The path then leads us to the wide slopes below Ledinski vrh from which there is a fine view towards the glacier below Skuta, which can be seen on the right hand side. The path then leads us in a moderate ascent to Jezersko sedlo, bordering neighbouring Austria. From Jezersko sedlo continue right towards Savinjsko sedlo, which is reached after about 15 minutes of cross-country walking. From this saddle, descend towards Okrešl. After a few minutes of descending, we reach a small emergency bivouac, where we sign the entry book (bivouac under Mrzlim vrh).
Ravenska Kočna - Kranjska koča 2:00, Kranjska koča - bivouac 1:20.
