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 the valley Logarska dolina (toll payment) and drive on the road to signs for mountain hut on Klemenča jama. We park on a parking lot near the boarding house Na Razpotju. In front of the boarding house only guests are allowed to park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the forest road in the direction of Klemenča jama. After few minutes of walking wide path branches off to the left towards Klemenča jama. We go on this path which starts ascending. A pretty steep path soon brings us on steep slopes, where with the help of steel cables we cross slightly exposed gully. The path which is still ascending soon brings us to the spot, where a mountain wall interrupts the path. We notice in front of us a cave and above it a blaze, which points us into a cave. When we step into a cave we see, that it is not a cave, but nicely made tunnel through which we continue. In tunnel we get help from a steel cable, which we need more at the descent as at the ascent. On the other side on the wide path we in a gentle ascent cross exposed ledge. The path ahead goes into the forest and is still ascending on steep slopes, which are in wet dangerous for slipping. Ahead over a small bridge we cross one more gully, and then the path brings us on a less steep part of the path, where joins the path from the mountain hut Dom Planincev. We continue slightly upwards on a wide path, which soon brings us out of the forest. Next follows only a shorter ascent on a grassy slope to the mountain hut Koča na Klemenči jami.
From the mountain hut, we continue straight in the direction of Ojstrica on the path which after few ten meters goes into the forest. The path which is moderately to steeply ascending through the forest higher brings us below the rocky cliff, which are not too crumbly. The path then avoids cliffs to the right and it brings us to a crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Ojstrica on the path Kopinškova pot (Kopinšek route) (right Škarje). Ahead we pass out of the forest on panoramic with dwarf pines and individual larches vegetated slopes, from which a nice view opens up towards the northern wall of Ojstrica. Next follows few minutes of walking and the path brings us on the other side of the ridge (Škrbina 1800 meters).
On Škrbina path turns to the right and by crossing of steep slopes above Robanov kot brings us to first steel cables on the path. By the steel cable path relatively steeply ascends, and then again follows a little less steep crossing. Next follows some easy climbing with the help of iron spikes and then shorter vertical ascent on stemples. The path is then still quite steeply ascending with the help of iron spikes and steel cables and it brings us to a smaller notch, where it turns to the right. Here we are then with easier climbing ascending towards the west and through some steep crossings we come on the ridge, where again a view opens up into a valley Logarska dolina. We continue slightly to the left on exposed ridge, where the path again steeply ascends by the steel cable. The path is then ascending on the right (northern) side of the ridge above steep mountain walls. Next follows traversing of quite steep scree on which in the early summer, there is still possible a snow field. In the case of snow field it is mandatory to use ice axe, because scree ends with a precipice. The path then turns to the left, ascends by the steel cable and then follows some more of easy climbing towards the summit.
