Koča pod slapom Rinka - Skuta Glacier

Access to starting point:
We drive to Luče (from Mozirje or via Kranjski Rak) and continue towards Logarska dolina. Soon after the village Solčava we come to the 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 the mountain hut Koča pod slapom Rinka, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a wide tourist path that starts to ascend gently. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest, where we arrive at 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 traverse to the top of the waterfall follows. This section 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 Okrešelj. We continue left and in a few steps come to the mountain hut Dom na Okrešlju.
At the hut, we head onto the path in the direction of Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon we come to 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 gently beside the scree. Soon we come to the next junction, where the path to Turški žleb and to the memorial branches off to the left, which is just a few dozen steps away. We continue straight through the ever-narrower 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 moves to the left side below the scree of Štajerska Rinka. In a traversing ascent, the path brings us below the walls, where there is a risk of falling rocks. A short steep pitch follows, then the path heads slightly right onto grassy slopes, where we reach a junction. We continue straight, while the path to Mrzla gora branches off to the right. Soon we come again to a junction, where the climbing path to Rinke branches off to the left upwards, but we continue straight on the path, which soon turns right into steep slopes. Here the path ascends steeply and brings us to the bivouac pod Mrzlim vrhom in a few minutes. At the bivouac, the path turns right and ascends steeply for a few more steps, after which the steepness eases. A few steps of walking follow to Savinjsko sedlo. Further, we continue on the Koroška side towards Kranjska koča. After a short ascent, the path descends a few meters, then in a gentle traversing ascent over scree climbs to Jezersko sedlo. We descend towards Kranjska koča and soon spot the glacier on the left, to which we climb over steep snowfields or scree.
WARNING!: The glacier has cracks which are dangerous and quite deep. Danger of falling rocks from Skuta and Rinke!
