Access to starting point:
From Železniki we drive towards Soriška planina. At the crossroad at Zgornja Sorica we continue left in the direction of Petrovo Brdo and Tolmin and then after 50 meters we park on an appropriate place by the next crossroad.
From Podbrdo we drive towards Železniki, but only to the village Petrovo Brdo, where we continue left in the direction of Soriška planina. We follow this road to Zgornja Sorica, where we park only about 50 meters before the crossroad, where the road towards Železniki branches off to the right downwards.
Possible is also access from Bohinj side.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on an ascending macadam road, and only after few steps it brings us to a crossroad. We continue on a little steeper cart track which ascends between the both roads (right road leads towards the nearby quarry). At first relatively steep cart track soon flattens and over a panoramic slope (a look on Sorica) brings us to the spot, where we step on a marked path (to here possible also on a marked path which starts right at the crossroad, but ascent there because of the overgrowth I don't recommend).
We continue the ascent on a well-marked footpath which higher gets very close to the road on Soriška planina.
Here we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Litostrojska koča (straight Lajnar) on a wide cart track, on which in few steps we step on an asphalt road. We continue the ascent on the mentioned road which at first ascends diagonally on a slope, which is exposed to falling stones, and then past a cross brings us to the starting point of the path towards Ratitovec (starting point Soriška peč).
We still continue on the road which in a moderate ascent brings us to a large parking lot by the foot of the ski center Soriška planina. Here signposts for mountain hut Litostrojska koča on Soriška planina point us to the left on an ascending macadam road, on which in 3 minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the mentioned mountain hut.
