Ravenska Kočna - Jezerska Kočna (via Štularjeva planina and on path Kremžarjeva pot)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. In Zgornje Jezersko, just a little after the gas station, we will notice a road which branches off to the right from the main road (direction Planšarsko jezero). The road then leads us past the mentioned lake and behind it steeply ascends for a short time. Higher, the road flattens and at the beginning of a large meadow loses its asphalt surface. At the end of the meadow there is a smaller parking lot by the road, where we park.

Route description:
Near the parking lot, we notice signs for the mountain hut Češka koča. The cart track quickly brings us into the forest, where it barely ascends. After a few minutes of walking, we come to a junction, where we continue on the right, steeper cart track. This quickly turns into a steep footpath ascending alongside the torrent upwards. A little higher, the path crosses the torrent and continues ascending in its vicinity. The steepness then eases and the path brings us to the abandoned mountain pasture Štularjeva planina.
The path then goes back into the forest and from the left, the path from the lower station of the cargo cableway joins us. Just a few dozen meters further, from the right, the path from the neighboring valley Makekove Kočne joins. The path then leaves the forest for steep slopes that are excellently secured. Even without fixed safety gear, the path is not particularly difficult. The increasingly scenic path then soon brings us over a ladder into Mrzla dolina. Here, cold air descends down an indistinct valley. In the morning hours, we can notice that it is somewhat colder at this spot (in windy weather, there is no difference). Ahead follows only a few minutes of easy walking to the Češka koča mountain hut.
From the hut, we continue right on the path in the direction of Kočna, Grintovec and Vratca (left Kranjska koča through Žrelo). After a short ascent, we reach flat ground marked H (intended for helicopter landing). The path continues over initially gentle scree that is partly overgrown with dwarf pines. In the lower part of the scree, the path to Vratca branches off to the right, while we continue straight in the direction of Kočna and Grintovec. After approximately half an hour of walking from the hut, we reach the next junction. We continue right in the direction of Kočna (left Grintovec via Mlinarsko sedlo) and continue ascending over partly overgrown scree to Zgornje Ravni. At Zgornje Ravni, the path turns sharply right and ascends over the scree. Higher up, the path, which continues turning right, brings us to the side ridge of the central Grintovci. Here, a nice view opens to the north, where we can clearly see most of the peaks surrounding Jezersko. Here, where we turn sharply left, the climbing section of the path begins. The well-secured and, when dry, not overly demanding climbing path brings us, amid fine views and past a natural window that we will notice on the right side, after almost three hours of walking from the Češka koča to the main ridge of the Grintovci (Zdolška škrbina), where there is a junction. We continue sharply right in the direction of Jezerska Kočna (left Grintovec, straight Cojzova koča) on the path that quickly brings us to one of the most interesting passages in the Slovenian mountains. The path brings us to a pot-bellied passage through which we must crawl. The ceiling above us is so low that there is no other way (watch your head). The path then goes over a short scree field, after which we step onto a steeper path where a few pitons and steel cables assist us. We then follow this increasingly scenic path to the somewhat spacious summit.
