Makekova Kočna - Češka koča na Spodnjih Ravneh

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we take the Kranj - East exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. At Jezersko by the bus stop, we turn right into the valley of Makekova Kočna (direction Čedca waterfall, Veliki vrh and Češka koča mountain hut). The road then crosses Jezernica over a bridge, and we, just a few meters further at the crossroads by the chapel, turn left towards the nearby sports field by which we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the chapel, then for some time continue on the asphalt road which ascends through a panoramic meadow. Higher, the road passes along the edge of the forest, and at this spot we continue left in the direction of the Češka koča mountain hut and Zupan homestead (straight to Čedca waterfall and Veliki vrh). After 150 m the road at the mentioned farm ends, and we continue the ascent on a marked cart track, which quickly brings us to a somewhat larger clearing. Here the blazes direct us left onto the mountain path, on which in a few minutes we ascend to the nearby forest road. We follow the road to the left, and it soon makes a sharp right turn and then above a lonely house ascends even steeper. We continue on the road only for a short while, then the mountain direction sign for Češka koča directs us left onto an ascending cart track. We continue the ascent for some time on the cart track, and it higher crosses a quite ruined forest road. The cart track, which runs through the forest, gradually changes into a pleasant forest footpath, and it quickly brings us to a spring.
Above the spring the path ascends steeply, then turns a little to the right, where after a few minutes of further walking it joins the cart track. We continue straight on an occasionally quite panoramic path, and it higher passes into dense forest and brings us to the saddle Kačji rob.
Further, we continue in the direction of the Češka koča mountain hut almost levelly. After more than ten minutes of traversing we come to the difficult part of the path. The path crosses very steep slopes, which in wet are very dangerous for slipping, in dry do not cause bigger problems. The fence assists us, which is not exactly safe, just the sense of security is a little greater. After this part we join the path from the cableway to the Češka koča mountain hut. The path then soon comes out of the forest onto panoramic slopes, where fixed safety gear assists us, which is not strictly necessary. The increasingly panoramic path then over a ladder soon brings us into Mrzla dolina. Here through an indistinct little valley cold air descends. In the morning hours we can notice that at this spot it is a little colder (in windy weather there is no difference). Further follows only a few minutes of easy walking to the Češka koča mountain hut.
