Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Škofja Loka, then we continue driving towards Železniki. In Železniki, we continue right in the direction of Dražgoše, but we follow the main road to the village of Rudno, where signs for Bohinjska Bistrica direct us onto a narrower road that ascends through the village. Behind the village, the road widens and loses its asphalt surface. Further on, we drive along a relatively nice and ascending macadam road, which we follow for approximately 10 km, or to the spot where signs for Ratitovec direct us left onto a somewhat narrower macadam road. Further on, we drive to the next crossroad, at which we also park in an appropriate place (at the starting point there is a signpost for Ratitovec and an information board for the Natura 2000 area).
Path description:
From the crossroad where we parked, we head onto the road in the direction of Ratitovec, and after a few steps we reach a gate that prevents further driving. The road ahead ascends gently, bypassing the Ledina marsh on Jelovica on the right side. A little further ahead, the road flattens completely, and the blazes direct us right onto a gently sloping cart track, which a little further crosses a wider cart track. We continue in the direction of Ratitovec and proceed along a gently sloping tractor track, which higher up brings us to an indistinct ridge, where the path turns quite to the right. There follow a few minutes of steeper walking, then the path brings us to a forest road that leads from Prtovč towards Mrzla dolina on Jelovica. We merely cross the mentioned road and continue the ascent on a wide cart track, which soon ascends very steeply, then flattens, and brings us to a marked junction in a few minutes of further walking.
We continue left in the direction of Kosmati vrh (right Planina Klom) along the path that gradually transitions onto the forested ridge of Kosmati vrh. The path ahead ascends quite steeply for a short time, then brings us out of the forest onto the grazing areas of the aforementioned peak. Here the trail partly disappears and turns slightly to the left, where it transitions onto the summit slope of Kosmati vrh. Further on, the trail disappears completely, and we continue in the direction towards the south, or southwest. For easier orientation, blazes on rocks assist us, which are not visible in fog, so orientation is then even more difficult. We follow this "path", which ascends moderately to steeply, all the way to the panoramic Kosmati vrh, which we reach after a good 15 minutes of further walking.
From Kosmati vrh, we continue left downwards on marked pathless terrain, then the blazes direct us slightly to the right, where we gradually pick up a poorly traceable little trail. The path ahead descends moderately for some time along the edge of precipitous cliffs, lower it temporarily ascends slightly, then descends slightly to the spot where we join the path from the Razor cirque. Here we continue right, and after a few dozen steps of further walking, we reach a marked junction, where we continue left in the direction of Gladki vrh (straight down Planina Pečana, right Planina Klom). The path splits into two parts immediately after the junction, and we continue along the left marked one (the right is unmarked and gentler), which begins to ascend steeply along the northeastern ridge of Gladki vrh. The path ahead quickly brings us out of the forest, and with ever more beautiful views brings us to Gladki vrh.
