Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Škofja Loka, then we continue driving towards Železniki and further towards Zalem Log. Soon after Železniki (still before Zalem Log), we will arrive at a smaller crossroad, where the road to the hamlet Jesenovec branches off to the right over the bridge. On the bridge there is also a somewhat larger mountain signpost for Ratitovec. We park on the other side of the bridge, at a suitable place by the confluence of the stream Plenšak and the river Selščica (Selška Sora).
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road that gently ascends along the stream Plenšak. After some 10 m, the blazes direct us to the right between two houses, behind which the path steeply ascends over a short grassy slope. The path soon enters the forest, where it turns left and then ascends transversely on a relatively steep and especially in wet slippery-dangerous slope. Poorly beaten and leaf-covered path higher crosses two gullies, over which the passage due to the destroyed path is quite arduous and consequently also exposed to slipping. The path ahead still crosses steep slopes for some time, then these transversely flatten somewhat. The path, which continues to ascend relatively steeply, higher brings us to the next somewhat more difficult passage, where along a slightly exposed ledge we cross a rocky ridge. After that, the path turns right and somewhat further begins to ascend even more steeply. Higher, the path turns left and visibly flattens, thereby crossing the last exposed spot. Further, the moderately steep path quickly brings us to a poor forest road, which past the hunting cottage, which we bypass on the right side, brings us to extensive grassy hay meadows, from which a nice view of Ratitovec opens up. A short descent follows and the path brings us to an asphalt road, along which we then ascend in a few minutes to the little church of Mary Help of Christians on Prtovč.
From the church, we continue along the road, which past the NOB monument brings us to a marked junction. We continue slightly right in the direction of Ratitovec via Razor (left Ratitovec via Po(v)den) along the road that past houses brings us to a wide and well-beaten path.
The marked path immediately enters the forest and begins to ascend transversely over relatively steep slopes. The path higher crosses a poor forest road, shortly after that the marked path from the hunting cottage joins from the right. We continue in the direction of Ratitovec along a gentle path that further crosses steep and in snow avalanche-dangerous slopes. Further, the path turns somewhat to the left and begins to ascend more steeply. The steepness soon eases and the path brings us to a small plain called Razor, where there is also a junction.
We continue straight ahead (right Kosmati vrh, mountain pasture Klom and Krekova koča via Vratca) along a wide path that soon turns left and begins to ascend steeply. The path ahead crosses a short stretch of forest, then brings us to panoramic grassy slopes of Ratitovec. Here the path flattens, turns somewhat to the right and along nice views brings us to Krekova koča on Ratitovec.
