Koča pod slapom Rinka - Turska gora (via Turski žleb)

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

Route description:
From the parking lot, we go on a wide tourist path which starts gently ascending. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest, where we come to a junction. We go left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of Dom na Okrešlju. The path ahead crosses a bridge and on the other side it starts ascending steeper. After a short ascent, the path brings us below the mountain walls, from where crossing to the top of the waterfall follows. This part is exposed to falling stones. After that, the path crosses Savinja again and then ascends upwards along the river with the help of stairs. Next we ascend on the right side (left bank) of Savinja. Soon, we come to the source of Savinja, where we again cross the water. On the other side, the path goes into a dense forest and after a short ascent, it brings us to the winter shelter on Okrešlju. We continue left and in a few steps we come to the mountain hut Dom na Okrešlju.
At the hut we go on a path in the direction of the Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo saddles. Soon, we come to the edge of a panoramic meadow, where there is a junction. We continue straight through the meadow in the direction of the Češka koča and Kranjska koča mountain huts (left Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead crosses a torrent and then ascends along the scree slightly upwards. We soon come to the next junction, where we go left following the signs Turski žleb. At the junction there is also a memorial plaque. The path then starts ascending steeper and brings us to the entrance into Turski žleb. Because of falling stones on the path through the gully it is mandatory to use a helmet, and it is also highly recommended to use self-belaying. The path then leads us on the right side of the gully and soon brings us to the entry into the climbing part of the path. The path here vertically ascends on numerous brackets and then turns to the left and with the help of steel cables and brackets crosses more or less vertical wall above the gully. After the crossing over numerous brackets the path becomes gradually less demanding and soon the last steel cables end. Next follows a relatively steep ascent on scree terrain to the top of the gully. In the upper part, when we are ascending on the scree, we need to be very careful not to trigger stones. On the top of Turski žleb, where there is also a junction, we go left in the direction of Turska gora (right Skuta and Rinke) and on an increasingly panoramic path with the help of some pegs we ascend to the summit ridge, which we then follow to the peak. Walking on the ridge in dry conditions does not present major difficulties, but in snow on the summit ridge there is a great risk of slipping.
