Ravenska Kočna - Kokrska Kočna (past the cableway and on Kremžarjeva pot)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway we turn off at the Kranj - east exit and continue following the road in the direction of Jezersko. In Zgornje Jezersko, just a little after the gas station, we will notice a road that branches off to the right from the main road (direction Planšarsko jezero). The road then leads us past the mentioned lake and shortly after it climbs steeply for a short time. Higher up the road flattens and at the beginning of a large meadow loses its asphalt covering. We then follow the macadam road to the marked larger parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot we continue along the macadam road following the signs »Češka koča, Ledine« and after about 15 minutes of walking we reach the cargo cableway.
At the cableway, the path goes behind the lower station of the cableway in the direction of Češka koča and initially climbs gently along a wide path, which brings us in a few minutes to a larger clearing. The path across this clearing is usually quite muddy, so be careful. After 20 minutes of walking, the path brings us to an indistinct small ridge where there is a bench. The path then continues through the forest and after another 20 minutes brings us to a crossroads where the path from the meadow (lower starting point) joins us from the right. We continue left and after just a few more steps we are at the next crossroads, where the path from Makekove Kočne (neighboring valley) joins us from the right. The path then exits the forest onto scenic slopes, where with the help of a few steel cables and a ladder we climb towards Češka koča (Hudičevi klanci). This part of the path when dry is not difficult and does not pose a greater danger (greater caution is needed in late autumn when the gullies are icy and in winter when there is snow). The path then flattens and brings us to Mrzle doline (1500m), where cold air often lingers. This is followed by only a good 5-minute moderate ascent and the path brings us to Češka koča na Spodnjih Ravneh.
From the hut we continue right along the path in the direction of Kočna, Grintovec and Vratca (left Kranjska koča through Žrelo). After a short ascent we reach flat ground with a marking H (intended for helicopter landing). The path ahead runs initially along a gentle scree slope, which is partially overgrown with dwarf pines. In the lower part of the scree, a path to Vratca branches off to the right, but we continue straight in the direction of Kočna and Grintovec. After about half an hour of walking from the hut we reach the next crossroads. We continue right in the direction of Kočna (left Grintovec via Mlinarsko sedlo) and continue climbing along the partially overgrown scree to Zgornje Ravne. At Zgornje Ravne the path turns sharply right and climbs over the scree. Higher up, the path, which continues to turn right, brings us to a side ridge of the central Grintovci. Here a beautiful view opens up to the north, where we can nicely see most of the peaks surrounding Jezersko. Here, where we turn sharply left, the climbing part of the path begins. A well-protected and when dry not too demanding climbing path brings us with beautiful views and past a natural window that we will notice on the right side, after almost three hours of walking from Češka koča to the main ridge of Grintovci (Zdolška škrbina), where there is a crossroads. We continue sharply right in the direction of Jezerska Kočna (left Grintovec, straight Cojzova koča) along the path that quickly brings us to one of the most interesting passages in the Slovenian mountains. The path namely brings us to a belly-shaped passage through which we have to crawl. The ceiling above us is namely so low that there is no other way (watch your head). The path ahead crosses a short scree after which we step onto a steeper path, where we are helped by a few pitons and steel cables. We then follow this increasingly scenic path to a slightly spacious summit.
From the summit we descend a few meters and continue along the ridge path towards Kokrska Kočna (marked). The path, which at the beginning descends into the gully between the two peaks, is well secured with pitons and steel cables. From the gully the path begins to climb again and with the help of protections brings us to the spacious summit of Kokrska Kočna.
Ravenska Kočna - Češka koča 1:30, Češka koča - Zdolška škrbina 2:45, Zdolška škrbina - Jezerska Kočna 45 minutes, Jezerska Kočna - Kokrska Kočna 30 minutes.
