Ravenska Kočna - Grintovec (umik Žrela and on Frischaufova pot)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Kranj–East exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. In Zgornje Jezersko, just a little behind the gas station, we will notice a road that branches off to the right from the main road (direction Planšarsko jezero). The road then leads us past the mentioned lake and behind it steeply ascends for a short time. Higher up, the road flattens and at the beginning of a large meadow loses its asphalt surface. We then follow the macadam road to a marked larger parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the macadam road following the signs »Češka koča, Ledine« and after approximately 15 minutes of walking, we come to a cargo cableway.
From the cargo cableway we continue following the signs for Kranjska koča na Ledinah (through the gorge, Slovenska pot) and Češka koča (bypass of Žrelo). At first for a short time, we walk through the forest, then the path brings us to grassy terrain which is partly covered with dwarf pines. Here the path turns slightly to the left and then ascends diagonally past sparse dwarf pines, later across scree. Such a path brings us to a junction. We head right where the sign »Češka koča« on the rock directs us. Left leads the path to Koča na Ledinah (Slovenska pot, through the gorge).
The path begins to ascend diagonally towards Češka koča (southwest). Later the path turns slightly to the left and brings us along a slope partly covered with dwarf pines to a junction below steep walls. We continue right towards Češka koča, left leads the path through the gorge to Ledine. The path then gradually becomes a little more demanding and for most of the time with the aid of steel cables crosses a slightly exposed slope towards the west. A short exposed crossing under rock overhangs follows, then the path becomes easier and soon brings us to Češka koča past sparse dwarf pines.
From the hut we continue right along the path in the direction of Kočna, Grintovec and Vratca (left Kranjska koča through Žrelo). After a short ascent, we reach flat ground marked H (for helicopter landing). The path ahead runs across initially gentle scree partly overgrown with dwarf pines. In the lower part of the scree, the path to Vratca branches off to the right, while we continue straight towards Kočna and Grintovec. After approximately half an hour of walking from the hut, we reach the next junction. We continue on the left path towards Grintovec (right Kočna) along a path that quickly brings us to the start of the wall. Here we put on our helmets and begin the climbing section of the path. The climbing is initially not difficult, but the ascent is dangerous due to scree on the path (risk of slipping). The wall we are climbing then becomes steeper, and the fixed protections become more frequent. Climbing follows along natural passages through gullies, couloirs and ledges. Throughout the ascent, beautiful views open up towards Jezersko and surrounding peaks. After less than two hours of "climbing", we exit the wall onto Mlinarsko sedlo, from where a view opens towards the south. Here we are at a junction where we turn right (left Dolgi hrbet and Skuta, straight down to bivouac pod Grintovcem) and continue along and beside an initially non-exposed ridge. The path then switches to the shady side of the ridge, where it becomes harder again, but numerous fixed protections assist us. The path, still exposed to falling rocks, brings us to the summit after approximately 1 hour from Mlinarsko sedlo.
