Dom Planincev v Logarski dolini - Ojstrica (via Škarje)

Access to starting point:
A) Over the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak) or from Mozirje we drive to Luče, and from there we continue driving towards Logarska dolina. A few kilometers after the settlement Solčava we will come to an intersection, where we turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment). We continue driving along Logarska dolina to the Dom planincev v Logarski dolini. We park on the parking lot on the left side of the road. The parking lot on the right side is intended for guests of the Dom Planincev.
B) Over the border crossing Jezerski vrh we drive to Austria, there in the valley Bela / Vellach we turn right towards the border crossing Pavličev vrh (Pavličevo sedlo) / Paulitchsattel. When we arrive on the Slovenian side we first descend to the valley, then at the intersection just before Solčava we turn right towards Logarska dolina (toll payment). We continue driving along Logarska dolina to the Dom planincev v Logarski dolini. We park on the parking lot on the left side of the road. The parking lot on the right side is intended for guests of the Dom Planincev.
C) We drive to Črna na Koroškem (to here from Ravne na Koroškem or from Šoštanj over the pass Spodnje Sleme), then we continue driving towards Luče. Initially still an asphalt road, higher up it becomes macadam and brings us to the intersection of several roads at the pass Spodnje Sleme. We continue on the main road, which begins to descend diagonally towards the settlement Podolševa. Lower at the intersection we turn sharply left (right is the Solčava panoramic road - we can also reach the starting point via this road, in this case we join the road over the pass Pavličev vrh) towards Solčava. When we descend to Solčava, at the intersection where we join the main road we continue right. A few kilometers after the settlement Solčava we will come to an intersection, where we turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment). We continue driving along Logarska dolina to the Dom planincev v Logarski dolini. We park on the parking lot on the left side of the road. The parking lot on the right side is intended for guests of the Dom Planincev.

Path description:
From the parking lot we continue on the main road which leads us over a bridge, after the bridge the signs for Klemenča jama direct us left onto the forest road, along which we continue the path, and it brings us in a few minutes to an intersection, where we continue right towards Klemenča jama. From the intersection we walk along the road only a short time, then we continue left on the initially wide and gentle mountain path. Only a few steps further the path moves onto the slope and gradually begins to ascend ever steeper. The steep path then ascends the steep slope, crosses a torrent gully and a little further a stream. After the stream the path becomes even steeper and ascends a very steep slope, which is especially when wet dangerous for slipping. After less than an hour of walking from the starting point we arrive at a bench by a spring and just a little further at a junction, where we join the path from the starting point Na razpotju.
Here the steepness eases, and we continue gently upwards on the wide path, which soon brings us out of the forest. From here there follows only a short ascent on the grassy slope to the Koča na Klemenči jami below Ojstrica.
From the hut, where a junction is marked, we continue straight towards Ojstrica (left Strelovec and Krofička) on the path which goes into the forest after some 10 meters. Through the forest we ascend moderately to steeply, and the path higher brings us below rocky cliffs, which are not too crumbly. The path soon withdraws from the cliffs to the right and brings us to a junction, where we continue straight towards Škarje, left branches the very demanding Kopinškova pot to Ojstrica. The path continues crossing slopes towards the west, then emerges from the forest and turns slightly left. Here it begins to ascend somewhat more steeply beside the scree, then turns right and climbs towards the saddle below Rjavčki vrh (1898 m).
From the marked path to Rjavčki vrh there is approximately 10 minutes ascent off-path.
On the saddle right also branches the path which leads into the valley towards the Koča pod slapom Rinka.
The path from the saddle then turns left and first ascends past some dwarf pines and then across the scree. There follows a somewhat steeper ascent on rocky terrain towards the saddle Škarje (2141 m).
From the saddle we continue left and first descend a little. When we reach the junction we take the left path, the right path leads towards the mountain pasture Korošica. The path then becomes somewhat more demanding and soon joins the path which leads from the Kocbekov dom na Korošici. There follows a somewhat steeper ascent with the aid of some fixed protections towards the summit, which we reach in a few minutes of further walking.
