Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki and forward towards Podbrdo. Soon (approximately 2 to 3 km) after Zali Log, we will notice signs for village Ravne and Torka, which point us to the right on an ascending road. Steep and narrow road, higher brings us in Ravne, where at the crossroad we continue on the right road which we then follow to a hamlet or farm Torka, which is the starting point for our tour. Because by the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots, it is best that at the farm, we turn right and drive on the forest road a good 100 meters and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the farm we continue on the right road which in a gentle ascent crosses slopes towards the right. The road then passes into the forest, where past a smaller well and the bottom station of a cargo cableway, which runs on Ratitovec, brings us to the spot, where mountain signpost for Ratitovec points us left on an ascending cart track (if we continue on the road, we get to a saddle Po(v)den). After a short ascent from the right joins also the marked path from the village Prtovč (path through Po(v)den), and we continue left and for few minutes we continue on a cart track.
When the cart track ends, we continue on a well-beaten mountain path, which gradually starts ascending steeper and steeper. The path which at first runs through the forest, soon brings us on unvegetated slopes, where it ascends even steeper. Steep and more and more scenic path which runs over steep and in the winter time for slipping and avalanche dangerous slopes, higher suddenly flattens and it turns left, where it brings us on a grazing area of Ratitovec. From here follows approximately 5 minutes of easy walking and the path, from which beautiful views are opening up on Porezen and surrounding peaks, brings us to the mountain hut Krekova koča na Ratitovcu.
From the mountain hut, we continue straight on a little steeper path in the direction of Gladki vrh. This increasingly panoramic path, we then follow all the way to Gladki vrh, and we reach it after 5 minutes of additional walking.
