Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki and further towards Podbrdo. Soon (approximately 2 to 3 km) after Zalim Log, we will notice signs for the villages Ravne and Torka, which direct us to the right onto an ascending road. The steep and narrow road brings us higher to Ravne, where at the crossroads we continue on the right road, which we then follow to the hamlet or farm Torka, which is the starting point for our tour. Because at the starting point there are no appropriate parking spots, it is best that at the farm we turn right and drive along the forest road for a good 100 m and then park at a suitable place by the road.
Path description:
From the farm we continue on the right road, which in a gentle ascent crosses the slopes towards the right. The road then passes into the forest, where past a smaller spring and the bottom station of the cargo cableway that leads to Ratitovec, it brings us to the spot where the mountain signpost for Ratitovec directs us left onto an ascending cart track (if we continue on the road, we arrive at the saddle Po(v)den). After a short ascent, the marked path from the village Prtovč (path over Po(v)den) also joins us from the right, but we continue left and continue on the cart track for a few more minutes.
When the cart track ends, we continue on a well-beaten mountain path, which gradually begins to ascend more and more steeply. The path, which initially runs through the forest, soon brings us to bare slopes, where it ascends even more steeply. The steep and increasingly scenic path, which runs over steep slopes that in winter are dangerous for slipping and snow avalanches, higher up suddenly flattens and turns left, bringing us to the pasture areas of Ratitovec. From here follows about 5 minutes of easy walking, and the path, from which beautiful views open up onto Porezen and the surrounding peaks, brings us to the Krekova koča na Ratitovcu.
From the hut we continue straight on a somewhat steeper path in the direction of Gladki vrh. We then follow this increasingly panoramic path all the way to Gladki vrh, which we reach after 5 more minutes of walking.
