@lijaneja...
okay, I'm just for consistency and that counts. This way everyone will know what it's about and there won't be unnecessary confusion. Good luck in the mountains. And I'm adding an "equipped" map for a better idea. I've been wandering these hills for 50+ years and the names are familiar to me.

Greetings to all mountaineers. Lately I've noticed various namings of cirques in our mountains, even peaks are named differently among themselves. Why that's so, let each think for themselves. In my opinion it's due to insufficient information before we head to the hills. Sadly it's already a staple with us; just like that, on the quick. A good example is one of the most interesting glacial cirques that descends in steps from west to east all the way to Logarska dolina. We know this cirque as Okrešelj. But problems arise when hikers describe their wanderings in this part of the mountains. Namely, Okrešelj consists of three more and less pronounced glacial cirques.
The first, highest-lying one is nestled under Savinjsko sedlo and is called Mrzli dol.
The second, into which steep walls of Štajerski Rinek fall from one side and the mighty face of Mrzla gora from the other, is Zgornji Okrešelj.
Between the above-mentioned cirques is a short easy rocky step called Prag.
Follows a smaller lazily lying overgrown hillock which we call Zaspani hrib, under which one path branches to Turski žleb.
Right after it, going downhill, spreads a more level and also partly forested cirque Okrešelj. This is also the largest.
And the valley head which ends, or starts if you will, we call Kot - that's actually the end of Logarska dolina. And for easier visualization I'm attaching a map of the mentioned cirques (pic 1).
Same with peaks above Okrešelj where naming of Rink gets confused. For orientation attaching a photo (pic 2).
It would be most welcome if hikers stuck to the long-known and recorded names when describing their paths, which of course are still in older books, just need to read them (won't find on web!). PZS also needs to correct place names in their online maps that don't match actual naming (mappzs.si).

Small but important correction: picture 14 shows Mrzli dol (glacial cirque above Praga), not Zg. Okrešelj - the latter reaches only to Praga, the passage between both cirques. Regards.

iron and other junk belong in the steelworks, to the dump or on the balcony for fencing, definitely not on any summit of our mountains.
I find such behavior extremely biased, perverted and imposing. I go to the summit for myself, not for symbolism - whatever it is, which I happily leave in the valley.
Let's keep the mountains CLEAN!

hey @geppo
I checked the given trip report in the link and there are indeed some photos mentioning my variant too. Anyway, I love this path a lot because you can focus on the path itself, nature and your mind, without anyone disturbing you nasmeh
Regards and joy in the mountains

Hi, definitely a good tour to stretch the legs and loosen the joints. We can also meet some reptile on this path, when we are not too loud and do not crash too much. Otherwise, I personally turn left immediately from Pasje sedlo towards the bushes, down and even lower into the sparse birch forest, so away from the walls below Kamn. sedlo. The path is extremely pleasant, just here and there a bit gravelly. In short, I stick to the old shepherd's path into the valley and arrive at the road at the big bend, right by the dry streambed. Hunters occasionally use this trail, as does the wildlife.
Maybe a bit helpful.
But it's a super tour in the opposite direction: from the valley to Pasje sedlo and then over scree directly to Kotliče and along the marked trail to Turska gora. From it to Pode and then right down into Turski žleb, of course over scree to Okrešelj. After a short wet break, then above the waterfall into the valley. For me an excellent, fairly demanding tour that rests the soul and occupies the legs and arms. Good luck!
