Ravenska Kočna - Ledinski vrh (hunter's way)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway we head to the Kranj - east exit and continue following the road towards Jezersko. At Zgornje Jezersko, just past the petrol station, we will notice a road branching off to the right from the main road (direction Planšarsko jezero). The road then leads us past the mentioned lake and after it briefly ascends steeply. Higher up the road levels out and at the beginning of a large meadow it loses its asphalt surface. We then follow the gravel road to the marked larger parking area, where parking is paid (10 EUR per day, data from 2026).

Route description:
Somewhere in the middle of the large parking lot, a passage opens to the left, next to which there are mountain markings for Velika Baba, Goli vrh and a sign for the hunter's way to Ledine. We start the path along a cart track that takes us to the edge of the meadow, where we will see the Gorniški center on the left side. We continue straight to the clearly visible signs at the nearby junction, from which we continue right (straight ahead Goli vrh, Velika Baba) in the direction of Planinski dom na Ledinah (on the sign Vadine). The path continues for some time through the forest, then under the walls of Velika (Koroška) Baba the forest begins to thin, and the path increasingly passes through dwarf pine. A little further on we also cross a mighty torrent, which we had on our right side the whole time, then we join the path from the lower station of the cargo cable car, where the starting point used to be.
We continue to follow the markings for Kranjska koča, and along the torrent we walk only for a short time or until the beginning of the steeper part of the path.
In the continuation the path rises steeply, and at exposed places we are helped by steel cables, reliable pitons and some carved steps that make the ascent easier to a higher degree. On this section, especially when wet and during descent, there is an increased risk of slipping, otherwise the path is not technically too demanding.
Higher up the slope gradually becomes gentler and the path easier, but since it runs on shady northern exposures, the terrain is often damp and slippery. Soon we reach a viewpoint with a bench, and nearby there is also a memorial to the tragic helicopter accident on 29 June 1975, which was the first helicopter accident in mountain rescue in Slovenia. From here we still have about 20 minutes of easy ascent to Kranjska koča na Ledinah.
At the hut the path splits, and we continue left in the direction of Okrešelj, Ledinski vrh and Baba (left down the hunter's way into the valley of Ravenska Kočna), where we first ascend gently, then moderately. There follows a short secured but easy ascent, then from our path slightly to the left branches off Rudijeva vertikala towards Velika Koroška Baba.
We continue slightly right, at the next junction we go slightly left (slightly right path leads in the direction of the foot of the scree slopes of Ledenik pod Skuto). There follows an ascent to the GRS hut or the path maintainers' hut, then through dwarf pine we ascend to a short demanding section, where with the help of a steel cable we cross a short rock slab. On the other side of the secured section we ascend steeply for a few minutes, when the path and the slope level out the path soon splits.
We continue on the slightly left path, which leads towards Jezersko sedlo (slightly right Križ) and ascend steeply for a few more minutes, higher up it levels out and with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains takes us to the junction at Jezersko sedlo.
In the straight down direction the path continues towards Savinjsko sedlo and Logarska dolina, and we continue left in the direction of Ledinski vrh and Velika Koroška Baba. The path ahead leads us with exceptional views of the northern walls of the mountains above Ledine and Spodnje Ravne. Along the ridge path we ascend to the junction at the saddle between Ledinski vrh on the left and Storžek (Belski turn) on the right.
We continue left towards Ledinski vrh (straight down leads the path to Velika Koroška Baba). The path leads us over crumbly terrain, then passes onto grassy slopes, along which we begin to ascend steeply. There follows only a shorter ascent through a narrow belt of dwarf pine and we reach the scenic and precipitous Ledinski vrh.
