Koča pod slapom Rinka - Koroška Rinka

Access to starting point:
We drive to Luče (to here from Mozirje or over Kranjski rak) and forward towards Logarska dolina. Soon after the village Solčava we come to the crossroad, where a road to valley Logarska dolina branches off to the left. We turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment) and drive on the road to the parking lot at the mountain hut Koča pod Slapom Rinka, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a wide tourist path which starts gently ascending. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest, where we come to a crossing. We go left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of Dom na Okrešlju. The path ahead crosses a bridge and on the other side it starts ascending steeper. After a short ascent, the path brings us below the mountain walls, from where crossing to the top of the waterfall follows. This part is exposed to falling stones. After that, the path crosses Savinja again and then it is ascending upwards along the river with the help of the stairs. Next we are ascending on the right side (left bank) of Savinja. Soon, we come to the source of Savinja, where we again cross the water. On the other side, the path goes into a dense forest and after a short ascent, it brings us to winter shelter on Okrešelj. We continue left and in few steps we come to the mountain hut Dom na Okrešlju.
At the hut we go on a path in the direction of saddles Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon, we come on the edge of a panoramic meadow, where there is a crossing. We continue straight through a meadow in the direction of the mountain huts Češka koča and Kranjska koča (left saddle Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead crosses a torrent and then it is ascending by gravel slightly upwards. We soon come to the next crossing, where the path on groove Turški žleb branches off to the left and towards the memorial plaque to which there is only few ten strides of walking. We continue straight on the more and more narrow valley. The path starts ascending steeper and brings us below the walls of Mrzla gora. The path ahead continues on the left side of the torrent, on a moderately steep grassy slope, which is partly covered with dwarf pines. The path ahead passes on the left side below the scree of Štajerska Rinka. In diagonal ascent, the path brings us below the mountain walls, where there is a danger of falling stones. Next follows shorter steep jump, and then the path goes a little right on grassy slopes, where we come to a crossing. We continue straight, and the path on Mrzla gora branches off to the right. We soon come again to a crossing, where we go left on a very demanding path following the signs Križ (straight runs the path towards the saddle Savinjsko sedlo). From the crossroad path ascends on the scree and it brings us to the entry of a climbing part of the path. The path then ascends on a slightly crumbly gravel slope and then turns slightly to the right and by the steel cable and with the help of few stemples in a gentle ascent crosses steep slopes. The path then turns a little to the left and with the help of steel cables and iron spikes ascends on a nice passage and then also few times by the steel cable crosses very steep slopes. The path then brings us to a steep gully through which we at first vertically ascend on stemples and then we continue by the steel cable steeply upwards. The path then few more times steeply ascends by steep gullies, and then it brings us to the notch, where a view opens up towards Ledine. From the notch, we descend by the steel cable on gravel terrain and we come to a crossing. We go left following the signs Rinke, right leads the path towards Ledine. The path ascends past a natural window and then turns slightly to the right and in ascent crosses steep western slopes. The path then turns to the left and steeply ascends by the steel cable. We soon come on the northern slopes of the mountain and then follows some easy climbing on rugged rocks without fixed safety gear. We again come on the western slopes, where the path again very steeply ascends by the steel cable. From here there is also a very nice view towards the precipitous walls of Skuta. Next follows quite exposed crossing on the west side of the mountain, and then the path again turns to the left and almost vertically ascends by the steel cable. We again come on the northern slopes of the mountain and then follows a shorter ascent by the steel cable to the top.
