Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Škofja Loka, 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 intersection 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 there are no appropriate parking spots at the starting point, it is best to turn right at the farm and drive on the forest road for another good 100 m and then park in an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the farm we continue on the right road, which in a gentle ascent crosses slopes towards the right. The road then passes into the forest, where past a smaller spring and the bottom station of a 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, a marked path from the village Prtovč (path over Po(v)den) joins us from the right, but we continue left and follow 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 unvegetated slopes, where it ascends even more steeply. The steep and increasingly scenic path, which runs over steep slopes that are dangerous for slipping and snow avalanches in winter, suddenly flattens higher up and turns left, bringing us to the grazing areas of Ratitovec. From here, about 5 minutes of easy walking follow, and the path, from which beautiful views open up onto Porezen and the surrounding peaks, brings us to the Krekova koča na Ratitovcu.
