Ravenska Kočna - Ledinski vrh (hunter's way)

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, follow the path on the left side of the cableway to Ledine (the lower station of the cableway burnt down in June 2015). The path initially runs through the forest, but soon turns into the dwarf pines, where it climbs steeply along the edge of a mighty torrent. The path follows this torrent until the start of the steeper part of the route. The path then climbs steeply and is aided by a couple of ropes, which help you to climb a step higher (a slip hazard in wet conditions). The difficulties then ease and the path continues to climb steeply, mostly on the northern slopes. After an hour and a half's walk, you reach a pleasant resting place, where a bench and a table cheer you up. Near the rest area, which is also a nice viewpoint, there is a memorial plaque commemorating the victims of the helicopter crash. From here on, there are no more technically difficult places to reach the hut, which is reached after a further 20 minutes' walk.
From the hut, continue to the left eastwards in the direction of Ledinski vrh, Mrzla gora and Baba. 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 passage over a rocky escarpment. 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. The path then leads us in a moderate ascent to Jezersko sedlo, bordering neighbouring Austria. Continue left towards Baba and Ledinski vrh on a path that climbs moderately along the ridge. After a few minutes, the path to Babe branches off to the right and we continue slightly left along a ridge path. The path then climbs steeply and after a further 10 minutes' walk leads to Ledinski vrh.
Ravenska Kočna - Ledine 2:15, Ledine - Ledinski vrh 1:15.
