Koča pod slapom Rinka - Ledinski vrh

Access to starting point:
We drive into Logarska dolina, then follow the main road towards the head of the valley, where we park at the parking lot at the turning point near Bara Pod slapom, also known as Koča pod slapom Rinka.

Entry by motor vehicle into Krajinski park Logarska dolina requires payment of an entrance fee or ecological tax, which amounts to 10 € for a passenger car (7 € for motorcycles, 20 € for vans). The fee is collected during the tourist season (from spring to the end of October) and also applies to electric vehicles. Payment of the tax includes the use of all parking lots within the valley. Entry is free for pedestrians and cyclists.

The current price list is available on the official website of Krajinski park Logarska dolina.

Route description:
From the parking lot we head onto the wide tourist path that begins to ascend gently. After a good ten minutes of walking we emerge from the forest, where we reach a junction. We turn left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of the hut at Okrešelj. The path ahead crosses a small bridge and on the other side begins to ascend more steeply. After a short ascent the path takes us under the walls, from where a traverse follows to the top of the waterfall. This section is exposed to falling rocks. The path then crosses the Savinja again and with the help of steps ascends along the river upwards. We continue ascending on the right side (left bank) of the Savinja. Soon we reach the source of the Savinja, where we cross the water again. On the other side the path enters a dense forest and after a short ascent brings us to the winter shelter at Okrešelj. We continue left and in a few steps reach the hut at Okrešelj.

At the hut we turn onto the path towards Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon we reach the edge of a scenic meadow, where there is a junction. We continue straight across the meadow in the direction of Češka koča and Kranjska koča (left Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead crosses a torrent and then ascends gently along scree. Soon we reach the next junction, where the path to Turški žleb and to the memorial branches off to the left, which is only a few dozen steps away. We continue straight through the increasingly narrow valley. The path begins to ascend more steeply and brings us under the walls of Mrzla gora. The path ahead continues on the left side of the torrent, along a moderately steep grassy slope that is partly overgrown with dwarf pines. The path ahead passes to the left side under the scree slopes of Štajerska Rinka. In a traversing ascent the path brings us under the walls, where there is a danger of falling rocks. A short steep jump follows, then the path turns slightly right onto grassy slopes, where we reach a junction. We continue straight, while to the right the path to Mrzla gora branches off. Soon we reach another junction, where the climbing path to Rinke branches off left upwards, while we continue straight on the path that soon turns right into steep slopes. Here the path ascends steeply and in a few minutes brings us to the bivouac under Mrzli vrh. At the bivouac the path turns right and ascends steeply for a few steps, then the steepness eases. A few steps of walking follow to Savinjsko sedlo, where the state border is. We continue on the Austrian side towards Kranjska koča. After a short ascent the path descends a few meters, then ascends in a gentle traversing climb over scree to Jezersko sedlo. We continue right along the ridge and the path soon brings us to a junction, where the path to Babe branches off to the right. We continue straight on the ridge path, which in a few minutes of ascent brings us to the scenic and crumbly summit.
