Koča pod slapom Rinka - Mrzla gora

Access to starting point:
We drive to Luče (to here from Mozirje or over Kranjski rak) and forward towards Logarska dolina. Soon after the village Solčava we come to the crossroad, where a road to valley Logarska dolina branches off to the left. We turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment) and drive on the road to the parking lot at the mountain hut Koča pod Slapom Rinka, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a wide tourist path which starts gently ascending. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest, where we come to a crossing. We go left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of Dom na Okrešlju. The path ahead crosses a bridge and on the other side it starts ascending steeper. After a short ascent, the path brings us below the mountain walls, from where crossing to the top of the waterfall follows. This part is exposed to falling stones. After that, the path crosses Savinja again and then it is ascending upwards along the river with the help of the stairs. Next we are ascending on the right side (left bank) of Savinja. Soon, we come to the source of Savinja, where we again cross the water. On the other side, the path goes into a dense forest and after a short ascent, it brings us to winter shelter on Okrešelj. We continue left and in few steps we come to the mountain hut Dom na Okrešlju.
At the hut we go on a path in the direction of saddles Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon, we come on the edge of a panoramic meadow, where there is a crossing. We continue straight through a meadow in the direction of the mountain huts Češka koča and Kranjska koča (left saddle Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead crosses a torrent and then it is ascending by gravel slightly upwards. We soon come to the next crossing, where the path on groove Turški žleb branches off to the left and towards the memorial plaque to which there is only few ten strides of walking. We continue straight on the more and more narrow valley. The path starts ascending steeper and brings us below the walls of Mrzla gora. The path ahead continues on the left side of the torrent, on a moderately steep grassy slope, which is partly covered with dwarf pines. The path ahead passes on the left side below the scree of Štajerska Rinka. In diagonal ascent, the path brings us below the mountain walls, where there is a danger of falling stones. Next follows shorter steep jump, and then the path goes a little right on grassy slopes, where we come to a crossing. We continue right in the direction of Mrzla gora (straight saddle Savinjsko sedlo) on a path, which at first ascends through rare dwarf pines and then brings us to a traverse over a rocky plate. Here we put on a helmet, because the path ahead is very crumbly and exposed to falling stones. From the traverse path brings us into a gully which we only cross. Now we come into a climbing part of the path. The path is at the beginning well-secured, but the fixed safety gear soon vanishes. Next follows unsecured ascent on a slope in a shape of a pyramid. Because this part of the path is very steep, watch out for falling stones. Before we step on the top of the pyramid we have a feeling, that there is the summit. But when we step on the "top" we see, that this isn't the case. Next follows a very exposed crossing of a narrow ledge without fixed safety gear. At the end of this ledge path turns left on a moderately steep wall straight upwards (without fixed safety gear). Then we walk on the ridge, which is in parts quite exposed. After that, the path turns a little to the right and in 30 minutes on a quite steep terrain brings us to the summit.
The path is very demanding and poorly secured. A helmet is mandatory.
