Dom Planincev v Logarski dolini - Planjava

Access to starting point:
A) Via the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak) or from Mozirje we drive to Luče, and from there we continue the drive towards Logarska dolina. A few kilometers after the settlement Solčava we will arrive at a crossroad, where we turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment). We then drive through Logarska dolina to the mountain hut 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 mountain hut Dom Planincev.
B) Via the border crossing Jezerski vrh we drive to Austria, and 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 crossroad just before Solčava we turn right towards Logarska dolina (toll payment). We then drive through Logarska dolina to the mountain hut 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 mountain hut Dom Planincev.
C) We drive to Črna na Koroškem (to here from Ravne na Koroškem or from Šoštanj via the pass Spodnje Sleme), then we continue the drive towards Luče. Initially still an asphalt road, higher up it becomes macadam and takes us to the crossroad of several roads at the pass Spodnje Sleme. We continue on the main road, which starts to descend diagonally towards the settlement Podolševa. Lower down at the crossroad we turn sharply left (right is the Solčava panoramic road - we can also reach the starting point via this road, in which case we join the road over the pass Pavličev Vrh) towards Solčava. When we descend to Solčava, at the crossroad where we join the main road we continue right. A few kilometers after the settlement Solčava we will arrive at a crossroad, where we turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment). We then drive through Logarska dolina to the mountain hut 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 mountain hut 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 a crossroad, where we continue right towards Koča na Klemenči jami.
From the crossroad we walk on the road only a short time, as we soon continue left on initially wide and gently sloping mountain path. A few steps further the path moves onto the slope and gradually starts to ascend ever steeper. The steep path then ascends the steep slope, then 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 to a junction, where we join the path from the starting point Na razpotju.
Here the steepness eases, and we continue gently uphill on a wide path which brings us out of the forest. A shorter ascent follows on the grassy slope to the mountain hut Koča na Klemenči jami below Ojstrica.
From the hut we continue straight towards Ojstrica on the path which enters the forest after a few dozen meters. The path, which moderately to steeply ascends through the forest, brings us higher below rocky cliffs, which are not overly crumbly. The path moves away from the cliffs to the right and brings us to a junction, where we continue straight towards Škarje, while to the 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 starts 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 of ascent on pathless terrain.
On the saddle a path also branches right which leads into the valley towards the mountain hut Koča pod slapom Rinka (it is an abandoned and dangerous path over Grlo). The path from the saddle then turns left and first ascends past some dwarf pines and then across scree. A somewhat steeper ascent follows on rocky terrain towards the saddle Škarje (2141 m).
On the saddle Škarje an inscription on the rock directs us right towards Planjava. The path ahead steeply climbs and moves away from the ridge slightly to the south side. We approach the ridge again and ascend the partly grassy slope. The path then bypasses the summit of Baba (Lučka Brana or Lučka Baba 2331 m), to which from the marked path we have only a few minutes of ascent. The path then becomes less steep and later descends slightly while crossing the south slopes. At the end the path turns left and becomes somewhat more demanding for a short time. In the ascent we cross steep slopes below the summit of Planjava, then arrive at a junction where we join the other paths to Planjava. At the junction we head right and only a short ascent follows on the summit slope of the mountain.
