Access to starting point:
A) From Podrošt or Petrovo Brdo we drive on Sorica, and from there we continue driving towards Soriška planina. When we will get to the road sign 6 km, we will a little before the cross on the left notice a cross, and few meters further, on the right appropriate place, where we park.
B) We drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. When we get to a large parking lot by the ski slope Soriška planina, we start descending towards Sorica. After approximately 1 km of descent, we will get to more distinct right turn, in the middle of which marked path branches off to the left on Ratitovec, and we park here on an appropriate place by the crossroad, on the left side of the main road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go towards the speed limit sign, and there we notice signposts, which point us to the right on a cart track. We continue the ascent on a slightly ascending cart track which soon brings us to the hunting cottage.
We continue on a cart track which a little further passes on the forest road which we follow only a short time because it quickly brings us to a crossing. We continue in the direction of Ratitovec on a cart track which a little higher turns into a pleasant mountain path. Higher, the path brings us on a wide slightly vegetated ridge, which is part of Danjarska planina. A pleasant path which runs on gently sloping meadows further descends a little and brings us into the forest. The path which runs through the forest turns slightly towards the left and after a short ascent, it brings us out of the forest on the mountain pasture Zgornji Jirn (nearby there is a shepherd hut).
We continue slightly right on a grassy slope, which is surrounded by a dense forest. Meadow then ends and the path brings us in the mentioned forest through which it starts descending. Next follows a little steeper ascent and the path brings us out of the forest on the western slopes of ample Ratitovec. We continue the ascent on a slightly ascending path which runs on panoramic and wide ridge. Higher, the path crosses a grazing fence behind which we will by the path notice some remains of world war (bunkers, caverns...).
The path then continues with some shorter descents and ascents by the foot of indistinct peaks of Ratitovec (Kremant 1658m, Altemaver 1678m - the highest peak of Ratitovec). And from a pleasant path we then already notice a mountain hut Krekova koča to which we have only a light descent and then ascent past the winter bivouac to the mentioned mountain hut.
