Hrastnik - Mrzlica (via Ravne)

Access to starting point:
From Trbovlje or Laško we drive to Hrastnik, and then we continue driving in the direction »Hrastnik center and village Čeče«. We follow this road to the spot, where we notice signs for ski slope Rajska dolina. Here we turn right and then already after few meters park on one of the numerous parking lots in Hrastnik.

Path description:
From the center of the Hrastnik we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of village Boben and Čeče. The road which soon leaves Hrastnik and is then ascending by the stream Boben we follow to the beginning of the village Boben. At this spot, we continue right, we cross a bridge and we continue the ascent in the direction of Kal and Mrzlica on the road which behind the houses changes into at first gently sloping cart track. Cart track quickly passes into the forest, where it is ascending by the pleasant stream and then turns to the left and steeply ascends.
The path soon passes out of the forest on ample grassy slopes, on which we are then ascending on occasionally a bit poorly visible footpath. Higher, the path brings us to an asphalt road in hamlet Ravne, through which we continue in the direction Kal. A little further signs for Kal point us to the right on a rough road which quickly changes into a pleasant footpath, on which we are then ascending on a partly grassy slope.
Eventually, the path brings us on a road which we follow only good 100 meters to the left turn, in the middle of which a marked footpath branches off to the right. We continue the ascent on at first a wide cart track which in a moderate ascent, which mostly runs through the forest brings us to the spot, where from the right side, the path over Klobuk joins.
We continue left, we cross the road and we are then ascending on a marked footpath which ascends on a panoramic grassy slope. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path joins the road which we then follow all the way to the mountain hut on Kal.
From the hut, we continue on its left side (direction of arrival) on the path which crosses the fence and goes into the forest. After few minutes of additional walking, we notice signs for the peak of Kal, which point us to the left on a little steeper footpath, on which we in few steps ascend to the summit.
From Kal we descend on the other side on the path which already after few steps it brings us on a wide cart track which we left when we ascended to the summit of Kal. We continue on the mentioned cart track which only a little further starts descending. After few minutes of descent, the path brings us out of the forest on a smaller saddle between Kal and Mrzlica.
We continue straight, slightly upwards and we are then ascending by the edge of a larger grassy area. Higher, the path turns a little to the right and it ascends diagonally through a thin forest. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut on Mrzlica.
From the mountain hut, we can in less than 5 minutes ascend also on a panoramic peak of Mrzlica.
