Access to starting point:
We drive to the settlement Luče (to here from Mozirje or over Kranjski rak) and forward towards Logarska dolina. Soon after the village Solčava we come to a crossroad, where we turn left in the valley Logarska dolina (toll payment in the summer season from 7:00 further) and we drive on the road to the parking lot at the mountain hut below the waterfall Rinka and we park there.
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 get to the waterfall Rinka.
We continue in the direction of the mountain hut on Okrešelj. The path ahead crosses a bridge and on the other side it starts ascending steeper. After a short ascent, the path brings us above the waterfall. This part is exposed to falling stones. After that, the path above the waterfall again crosses Savinja and then with the help of stairs ascends by the river upwards. We soon come to the source of Savinja. Then the path through the beech forest after a short ascent, it brings us to the winter shelter on Okrešelj. Approximately hundred meters to the left, there is mountian hut Dom na Okrešlju.
We continue through a meadow and right in the forest. The path ahead is ascending by the gravel slightly upwards. We soon come to the next crossing, where we go left towards Turski žleb. At the crossing there is also a memorial plaque. The path then starts steeply ascending and it brings us to the entrance into Turski žleb. On the path through the gully it is recommended to use a helmet and self-belay set. The path then brings us to the entry into a climbing part of the path in the gully (or we can avoid it by continuing ahead on the gravel). After a very demanding ascent on numerous stemples, the path becomes gradually less demanding and soon also the last steel cables end. Next follows a relatively steep ascent on gravel terrain to the top of the gully. In the upper part when we are ascending on a gravel we need to be very careful, not to trigger stones.
On the top of Turski žleb, where there is also a crossing we go right towards Skuta and Rinke. The path from the gully and to the foot of Skuta is easy. At first, we ascend a little and then we descend a little and we still cross the scree to the entrance into the wall of Skuta. In the wall on the path to the top we have fixed safety gear for help, mainly iron spikes. The path meanwhile brings us on a very exposed small ridge above the ramp, where we get help from steel cables, and then the path goes again into the wall. We again get help from iron spikes, which bring us on the upper part of Skuta. The steepness decreases a little and soon after that, we step on the summit.
