Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Kranj - East exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. At 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 the asphalt covering. We then follow the macadam road to a marked larger parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the macadam road following the signs »Češka koča, Ledine« and after approximately 15 minutes of walking we come to a cargo cableway.
From the former parking lot, we go on the path which runs on the left side of the cableway to Ledine (the lower station of the mentioned cableway burned down in June 2015). The path ahead first runs through the forest, but soon transitions into dwarf pines, where it ascends gently along the edge of a mighty torrent. The path follows this torrent all the way to the beginning of the steeper part of the path. The path then steeply ascends, aided by some steel cables, with the help of which we ascend one level higher (in wet, risk of slipping). The difficulties then ease, and the path continues steeply ascending, mostly on the northern slopes. After an hour and a half of walking, we come to a pleasant resting place, where a bench and table delight us. Near the resting place, which is also a nice viewpoint, there is a memorial plaque in memory of the victims of the crashed helicopter. From here to the hut, which we reach after good 20 minutes of further walking, there are no more technically demanding spots.
From the hut, we continue left towards the east in the direction of Ledinski vrh, Mrzla gora and Babe. The path, which is initially quite gentle, brings us to a junction in a few minutes, where we take the right path (left climbing path to Babe). The path ahead only slightly becomes steeper and brings us to a somewhat more difficult passage over a rocky ledge. Here a steel cable assists us, but the passage in dry is not difficult. The path then brings us to the wide slopes below Ledinski vrh, from which there is a nice view towards the glacier below Skuta, which we can see on the right side. The path ahead moderately ascends and brings us just a few 10 m before Jezersko sedlo to the next marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Koroška Rinka or Križ (left Ledinski vrh, Velika Baba, Mrzla gora).
The path ahead moderately ascends over a less steep scree, then joins the path from Logarska dolina.
The path ahead ascends past a natural window and then turns slightly to the right and crosses the steep western slopes in ascent. The path then turns to the left and steeply ascends along the steel cable. Soon we come to the northern slopes of the mountain and some easy climbing follows on rugged rock without fixed safety gear. We again come to the western slopes, where the path again very steeply ascends along the steel cable. From here there is also a very nice view towards the precipitous walls of Skuta. A quite exposed crossing follows on the west side of the mountain, then the path again turns to the left and almost vertically ascends along the steel cable. We again come to the northern slopes of the mountain and a shorter ascent along the steel cable follows to the top of Koroška Rinka.
From Križ or Koroška Rinka we descend to the other side, on the path which steeply descends towards the valley between Kranjska and Koroška Rinka. The path ahead first runs through a crumbly gully, then transitions to scree, where we quickly come to a junction, where we continue right (left Turski žleb and Kamniška Bistrica). The path ahead crosses the slopes of Koroška Rinka, then turns slightly to the left, where it steeply ascends. A short very steep ascent follows, then the path brings us to the main ridge, along which we ascend to the summit of Kranjska Rinka in a few steps.
