Ravenska Kočna - Velika (Koroška) Baba (via Jenkova planina)

Access to starting point:
From Gorenjska highway, Kranj or Preddvor, we drive to Zgornje Jezersko, after that approximately 1 km after Petrol gas station, we turn right in the direction of the lake Planšarsko jezero and Češka koča. Further, we drive past the mentioned lake, and then the road leads us through a larger meadow, where the asphalt ends and from which a beautiful view opens up on surrounding mountains, and then the road returns into the forest, where at first crosses a torrent. A little further, the road splits, and we continue on the right road (left Gorniški center Davo Karničar and also the footpath on the mountain pasture Jenkova planina and former starting point for the mentioned mountain pasture), on which we quickly reach large marked parking lot, where we park.

Path description:
Somewhere in the middle of large parking lot to the left opens a passage, by which there are signposts for Velika Baba, Goli vrh and a sign for hunting path on Ledine. We start on a cart track which brings us on the edge of a meadow, where we will on the left side notice Gorniški center (mountaineering center). We continue straight to well visible signposts at the nearby crossing, from which we continue straight in the direction of Velika Baba and Goli vrh (right Ledine). The path ahead still leads on a cart track which soon turns left, and further it is ascending diagonally. Higher from the left joins the path from old starting point, or marked path from the lake Planšarsko jezero. Cart track, on which we walk then changes into a footpath which is relatively steeply ascending through the forest. After approximately an hour and a half of walking, we step out of the forest on abandoned and quite overgrown mountain pasture Jenkova planina.
On the mountain pasture, we come to a crossing, where we go right towards Velika Baba. The path at first runs through meadows on the mountain pasture, and then it brings us into the forest, where it starts ascending steeply. The path runs on the right (western) side of the ridge and is still ascending through thinner and thinner forest. Forest passes into dwarf pines and on steep slopes we soon reach the border ridge. After that, the path runs on a quite narrow and unsecured ridge and it brings us on Mala Baba (2014 meters). Here the path becomes even a little more demanding, and on some spots also a slightly crumbly and exposed. Such a path which still runs on the ridge in few shorter descents and ascents brings us to the summit of Velika Baba.

On the way: Jenkova planina (1495m), Mala Baba (2018m)
