Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue left in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. We follow this road to a large parking lot near the ski center Soriška planina.
B) From Železniki we drive towards Podbrdo or vice versa, but only to a spot, where signs for Soriška planina point us on an ascending road. We follow this road to a large parking lot by the foot of the ski slope Soriška planina.
Path description:
From the parking lot below the ski center Soriška planina, we continue on the asphalt road towards Železniki and Podbrdo. Soon i.e. after approximately 50 meters, we will on the left side of the road notice signs for Ratitovec, which point us on a marked footpath, and which at first descent on a cart track, and then turns to the left and changes into a little harder to follow footpath. The path ahead leads us over a larger grassy clearing, behind it crosses a lane of a forest and then it brings us to other clearing, where we step on a wide cart track. We follow the cart track to the right and there we walk to the near road which we reach right on the lower part of short asphalt section. When we step on the road, at first we ascend, and then we start gradually descending towards the saddle Mišji grund, where we join the path from Soriška peč.
From here we continue left on at first steep cart track in the direction of Ratitovec, and it gradually changes into a little less steep footpath. Higher, the path flattens even more and on the right side bypasses a little bigger watering place for animals. From here ahead, forest is becoming thinner, so that from the path increasingly beautiful views starting to open up on Porezen, Blegoš and other surrounding peaks. The path ahead is for some time ascending diagonally, and then passes on wider grassy slope, where we step on a smaller indistinct saddle.
Here "path" branches off to the left on the nearby Žbajnek, which we reach after less than 5 minutes of additional walking.
