Rogovilec - Račka vrata (hunting path)

Access to starting point:
From Mozirje or over Kranjski Rak we drive through Luče and ahead past Igla to Rogovilec a little before Solčava. There on the left side by the main road is a space for parking.

Path description:
To farm Račnik the path is marked. First two hundred meters, the path runs on asphalt to the bridge over Savinja. We then continue on a footpath above the left bank of Savinja. A little higher we come on a cart track which brings us to the farm Račnik. When we step on the road at Račnik we continue left upwards on a cart track through a meadow. Cart track immediately in the forest turns sharply right upwards, and we continue left on a hunting footpath. After that, the path runs almost on flat through a dry riverbed past the big rock on the left side of the path. Here the path starts ascending. We soon get to the salt lick for wild animals. The path behind the salt lick turns right steeply upwards on the ridge towards Tolsta peč. Higher, we cross the road which we left lower on the edge of a meadow and we just continue on the ridge steeply upwards. The path never goes far away from the ridge. When we get to decaying shepherd hut Račnik we continue for approximately 100 meters on the ridge upwards, after that 10 meters above two larches (rocky part of the path) the path turns right past several fallen trees. The path further for a long time crosses to the right through several smaller gullies and it is slightly ascending, and on some parts even descending. When we cross the second bigger rocky landslip on the other side of it on the trunk of a spruce there is a red letter L which means, that we have to continue right by the landslip upwards. We ascend about 50 meters to the salt lick, above which the path crosses a good 100 meters to the right all the way to magnificent Račka vrata.
The path is on many spots exposed and therefore dangerous for slipping. Because of orientational difficulty we have to have quite some adventure streak for which we are then richly rewarded.
The arch above the vrata (door) is passable, but it demands from us quite some climbing skills. There we can ascend from both sides. For crossing it is safer from the lower side, because in the reverse direction it is a way more demanding because of the crumbly gravel, great steepness and the narrowness of the arch in the lower part. Beautiful panorama from the arch rewards us for walked path.
We descend on the approach route.
