Koča pod slapom Rinka - Velika (Koroška) Baba

Access to starting point:
We drive to Luče (to here from Mozirje or over Kranjski Rak) and forward towards the valley Logarska dolina. Soon after the village Solčava we come to the crossroad, where a road to valley Logarska dolina branches off to the left. We turn left towards the valley Logarska dolina (toll payment) and drive on the road to the parking lot at the mountain hut Koča pod slapom Rinka, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a wide tourist path which starts gently ascending. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest, where we come to a crossing. We go left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of Dom na Okrešlju. The path ahead crosses a bridge and on the other side it starts ascending steeper. After a short ascent, the path brings us below the mountain walls, from where crossing to the top of the waterfall follows. This part is exposed to falling stones. After that, the path crosses Savinja again and then it is ascending upwards along the river with the help of the stairs. Next we are ascending on the right side (left bank) of Savinja. Soon, we come to the source of Savinja, where we again cross the water. On the other side, the path goes into a dense forest and after a short ascent, it brings us to winter shelter on Okrešelj. We continue left and in few steps we come to the mountain hut Dom na Okrešlju.
At the hut we go on a path in the direction of saddles Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon, we come on the edge of a panoramic meadow, where there is a crossing. We continue straight through a meadow in the direction of the mountain huts Češka koča and Kranjska koča (left saddle Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead crosses a torrent and then it is ascending by gravel slightly upwards. We soon come to the next crossing, where the path on groove Turški žleb branches off to the left and towards the memorial plaque to which there is only few ten strides of walking. We continue straight on the more and more narrow valley. The path starts ascending steeper and brings us below the walls of Mrzla gora. The path ahead continues on the left side of the torrent, on a moderately steep grassy slope, which is partly covered with dwarf pines. The path ahead passes on the left side below the scree of Štajerska Rinka. In diagonal ascent, the path brings us below the mountain walls, where there is a danger of falling stones. Next follows shorter steep jump, and then the path goes a little right on grassy slopes, where we come to a crossing. We continue straight, and the path on Mrzla gora branches off to the right. We soon come again to a crossing, where the climbing path on Rinke branches off to the left upwards, and we continue straight on the path which soon turns right on steep slopes. Here the path steeply ascends and in few minutes brings us to bivouac Bivak pod Mrzlim vrhom. At the bivouac path turns right and few steps it is still steeply ascending, after that steepness decreases. Next follows few steps of walking to a saddle Savinjsko sedlo, where there is a national border. Further, we continue on the Austrian side towards the mountain hut Kranjska koča. After a short ascent the path for few meters descends, and then in a gentle diagonal ascent on the scree ascends on a saddle Jezersko sedlo. We continue right by the ridge and the path soon brings us to a crossing, where the path branches off to the right on Baba. We continue right downwards in the direction of Velika Baba, and left on the ridge leads the path on Ledinski vrh. The path from the saddle at first descends on the scree and then turns slightly to the left and crosses slopes below Ledinski vrh. Next follows a shorter ascent and from the left side joins the very demanding path from the mountain hut Koča na Ledinah.
The path further becomes a little more demanding and starts ascending towards the north. Later, the path turns to the left and avoids steep walls on the west side of the mountain. After that, the path crosses the western slopes towards the north, and in the last part turns to the right and a short ascent follows towards a very panoramic summit.
