Access to the starting point:
a) From Podrošto or Petrovo Brda drive to Sorica and from there continue to Sorica mountain pasture. When you get to the 6 km road marker, you will see a cross on your left just before the cross, and a few metres further on, there is a suitable parking space on your right.
b) Take the road to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving in the direction of Tolmin and Sorisca mountain pasture. When you reach the large parking lot at the Soriška ski slope mountain pasture, start descending towards Soriška. After about 1 km of descent, we will come to a more distinct right turn, in the middle of which the marked path to Ratitovec branches off to the left, and we park here in a convenient place by the crossroads, on the left-hand side of the main road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, head towards the speed limit sign, where you will see mountain signs directing you to the right to cart track. Continue ascending the gently ascending cart track, which soon leads to a hunting lodge.
Continue on the cart track, which passes slightly further on to a forest road which is followed for only a short time, as it quickly leads to a crossroads.
From here, continue left on the initially steep cart track in the direction of Ratitovec, which gradually turns into a slightly less steep footpath. Higher up, the path becomes even steeper and passes a slightly larger animal watering place on the right. From here on, the forest becomes rarer, so that the path starts to open up more and more beautiful views of Porezen, Blegoš and other surrounding peaks. The path continues to climb for some time, then crosses over to a more extensive grassy slope, where we step onto a small undistinguished saddle.
Here a "path" branches off to the left to the nearby Žbajnek, which is less than a 5-minute walk away, and we continue straight on along a waymarked path which turns slightly to the left and then climbs a small ridge.
When we get on the ridge we see a sign with a stamp, which leads us to the nearby Kačji rob (1 minute), and we continue slightly to the right on the marked path, which descends to the nearby mountain pasture Zgornji Jirn.
Here we continue straight on past two shepherd's huts (one is not visible from the path) and climb up a moderately steep grassy slope. Soon the path bends slightly to the right, where it starts to descend slightly steeper. The way ahead leads us past a small watering hole, after which we quickly reach a slightly larger valley, which we just cross. On the other side of the valley, the path begins to climb steeply through the forest, then gradually lays down and leads us to the vast pastures of Ratitovec. Crossing the pasture areas, we quickly reach the Kremant peak, which is identified by a stamp on a metal pole, and we gradually descend from it to a marked crossroads, where the path from Zgornje Danj joins us.
Here we continue straight ahead and follow the path, which ascends and descends slightly a few times, to a marked crossroads where the path to Altemaver branches off to the right.
Continue in the direction mentioned above (slightly to the left, Koča na Ratitovcu) and after 5 minutes of ascent you will reach the summit with a view.
