Ravenska Kočna - Vellacher Turm/Storžek (hunting path)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Kranj–East exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. In Zgornje Jezersko, just a little behind 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 up, the road flattens and at the beginning of a large meadow loses its 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 bottom station of the mentioned cableway burned down in June 2015). The path ahead at first runs through the forest, but soon passes into dwarf pines, where it ascends gently by 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, and we also get help from some steel cables, with the help of which we ascend a level higher (in wet, danger of slipping). Difficulties then decrease, 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 a 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 a 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 Rinke. The path, which is at first quite gentle, brings us in a few minutes to a junction, 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 section. Here a steel cable helps us, but the passage in the dry is not difficult. The path then brings us to 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 then brings us in a moderate ascent to Jezersko sedlo, which borders on neighbouring Austria.
From Jezersko sedlo we continue right in the direction of Savinjsko sedlo, which we reach after approximately 15 minutes of traverse.
From Savinjsko sedlo we continue sharply left (right Okrešelj and Mrzla gora) on the path which starts descending towards the valley of Belska Kočna. After a few minutes of descent, we will notice on the left side of the path a large inscription on the rock “Klettersteig”. Here we leave the path towards the valley of Belska Kočna and head left upwards on a somewhat less trodden trail. The path, which is further marked with red dots, soon brings us to the entry into the climbing part of the path. The climbing path at first, with the help of a steel cable and pegs, crosses the steep eastern slope of the mountain towards the north. The path then turns left and steeply ascends along the steel cable upwards. Later the path brings us to a steep partly grassy slope, where caution is needed as the path is often slippery. In the last part of the path, we turn left and there follows a short ascent on an unprotected slope towards the summit.
