Koča pod slapom Rinka - Mrzla gora

Access to starting point:
We drive to Luče (from Mozirje to here or via Kranjski rak) and continue towards Logarska dolina. Soon after the village of Solčava we come to a junction, where the road to Logarska dolina branches off to the left. We turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment) and drive along the road to the parking lot at Koča pod slapom Rinka, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a wide tourist path that starts gently ascending. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest, where we reach a junction. We go left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of Dom na Okrešlju. The path ahead crosses a small bridge and on the other side starts to ascend more steeply. After a short ascent, the path brings us below the walls, from where a crossing to the top of the waterfall follows. This part is exposed to falling rocks. The path then crosses Savinja again and ascends further along the river with the aid of steps. Next, we ascend on the right side (left bank) of Savinja. Soon we come to the source of Savinja, where we cross the water again. On the other side, the path enters dense forest and after a short ascent brings us to the winter shelter on Okrešlju. We continue left and in a few steps reach Dom na Okrešlju.
At the hut, we head onto the path in the direction of Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon we reach the edge of a panoramic meadow, where there is a junction. We continue straight across the meadow in the direction of Češka koča and Kranjska koča (left Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead crosses a torrent and then ascends beside scree slightly upwards. Soon we reach the next junction, where the path to Turški žleb and to the memorial branches off to the left, which is only a few dozen steps away. We continue straight through the increasingly narrow valley. The path starts to ascend more steeply and brings us below the walls of Mrzla gora. The path continues on the left side of the torrent, on a moderately steep grassy slope that is partly overgrown with dwarf pines. The path then passes to the left side below the screes of Štajerska Rinka. In a traversing ascent, the path brings us below the walls, where there is danger of falling rocks. A short steep step follows, then the path heads slightly right onto grassy slopes, where we reach a junction. We continue right in the direction of Mrzla gora (straight Savinjsko sedlo) along a path that first ascends through sparse dwarf pines and then brings us to a traverse across a rocky slab. Here we put on helmets, as the path ahead is very crumbly and exposed to falling rocks. From the traverse, the path brings us into a gully that we only cross. Now we enter the climbing section of the path. The path is well protected at the start, but the fixed protections soon run out. An unprotected ascent follows on a slope shaped like a pyramid. Since this part of the path is very steep, watch out for falling rocks. Before stepping onto the top of the pyramid, we have the feeling that this is the summit. But when we step onto the "summit," we see that it is not. A highly exposed crossing of a narrow ledge without protections follows. At the end of this ledge, the path turns left up a moderately steep wall straight upwards (without protections). Then we walk along the ridge, which is quite exposed in places. The path then turns slightly right and brings us to the summit in 30 minutes over fairly steep terrain.
The path is very demanding and poorly protected. Helmet is mandatory.
