Prtovč - Krekova koča na Ratitovcu (via Razor)

Access to starting point:
At first, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki. In Železniki we come to a crossroad, where a road towards Kropa branches off to the right. Here we continue straight and follow the main road only about 100 meters and then signs for Prtovč point us to the right on an ascending road which we follow to a large parking lot near the church in the mentioned village.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk past the church and NOB monument to the beginning of the village, where we come on a well-marked crossroad. We continue slightly right in the direction of Ratitovec over Razor (left Ratitovec over Poden) on the road which past houses brings us to wide and well-beaten path.
The marked path goes immediately in the forest and starts ascending diagonally over relatively steep slopes. The path higher crosses rough forest road, only a little after that marked path from the hunting cottage joins from the right. We continue in the direction of Ratitovec on a gently sloping path, which then crosses a steep and in snow dangerous slopes for an avalanche. Next, the path turns a little towards the left and starts ascending steeper. The steepness soon decreases and the path brings us on a smaller plain named Razor, where there is also a crossing.
We continue straight (right Kosmati vrh, mountain pasture Klom and Krekova koča over Vratca) on a wide path, which soon turns to the left and starts ascending steeply. The path ahead crosses a short lane of a forest and then it brings us on panoramic grassy slopes of Ratitovec. Here the path flattens, turns a little towards the right and with nice views it brings us to hut Krekova koča na Ratitovcu.
