Spodnje Danje - Altemaver (Ratitovec)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving in the direction of Železniki and Tolmin. Few kilometers after Zali Log we get to a crossroad at Podrošt, where we continue straight in the direction of Sorica and Soriška planina (left Petrovo Brdo and Tolmin). When above Sorica from the left joins the road from Petrovo Brdo we continue right, and then towards Soriška planina we drive only to a crossroad, where roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the right. We continue on the bottom road towards Spodnje Danje. After approximately 1 km of additional driving, we get to Spodnje Danje, where there is the beginning of the described path. In the village there aren't any settled parking spots. Lately because of reconstruction of road Podrošt - Sorica, the road is often closed. In this case, we use detour, namely so that at Podrošt we continue in the direction of Tolmin, and then at the first crossroad right. On quite steep road we get to Sorica, where we join back the main road towards Soriška planina.
B) From the direction Baška grapa we drive to Petrovo Brdo, and from there we continue left towards Soriška planina. A little after we join the road from Sorica, we get to a crossroad, where roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the right. We continue on the bottom road towards Spodnje Danje. After approximately 1 km of additional driving, we get to Spodnje Danje, where there is the beginning of the described path. In the village there aren't any settled parking spots.
C) From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue driving towards Soriška planina, and from there we start descending towards Sorica. When after few kilometers of descent roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the left, we continue on the bottom road towards Spodnje Danje. After approximately 1 km of additional driving, we get to Spodnje Danje, where there is the beginning of the described path. In the village there aren't any settled parking spots.

Path description:
In the middle of the village Spodnje Danje is a crossroad, where we continue left (right church of St. Marko), after that the road immediately splits into two parts. One runs on left, and other on the right side of older house. Behind the house both roads join, and past the last house we continue straight on a cart track which starts ascending through a panoramic meadow. Meadow is slowly changed by thin forest, and at some crossings we continue straight. Higher, the path leads past two smaller boulders, and then we once again cross a grazing fence and we step on the road which leads from Sorica towards Zgornje Danje. The mentioned road, we follow to the right, and it gradually passes out of the forest on more panoramic slopes. Next follows a turn to the left and with a view on cliffs of Ratitovec we reach a smaller crossroad right before Zgornje Danje. We continue on the left upper road which after few 10 meters changes into a rocky cart track which we follow only to the near wooden shack, where we will on the left side notice the beginning of the marked path which leads on Ratitovec.
The path is at first ascending through the forest and then crosses relatively new clearing, where we also cross a cart track. At this spot because of the fallen trees there aren't any marks, therefore orientation on this part is a little harder, but if we look for a footpath which continues in the same direction, we won't have bigger problems. The path ahead for some time returns into the forest and then it flattens and brings us on a larger meadow (mountain pasture Spodnji Jirn). On the other side of the meadow, by watering place for animals path turns slightly to the left and then right in the forest. The path ahead brings us on a rough cart track, on which we walk only for a short time because then poorly visible signs point us to the left on the mountain path, on which through the forest we follow to relatively new wooden log cabin.
From the log cabin, where we also step out of the forest, we continue in the same direction and we continue the ascent on a poorly visible path, which is ascending diagonally slightly towards the right. The more and more scenic path, from which beautiful views are opening up on Blegoš, Črni vrh and Porezen, higher brings us to an old military bunker, where we can take a rest or we make a nice panoramic photo. From the bunker for few minutes we continue on a badly beaten path, and then we join the path Soriška planina - Krekova koča.
Here we continue right and the path which few times slightly ascends and descends again, we follow to a marked crossing, where the path to Altemaver branches off to the right.
We continue in the mentioned direction (slightly left mountain hut Koča na Ratitovcu) and after 5 minutes of ascent we get to panoramic peak.
