Turn right and continue through the scree until you arrive under the wall that leads to Mt. Koroška Rinka. Follow protected route (very demanding!). At the top, when the adrenaline rush slowly loosens, it is time for pure mountaineering pleasure! But your adventure is not over yet! To continue your hike to Mt. Kranjska Rinka, follow the trail that is some ten metres lower and ascent to the neighbouring peak. Descent on the same trail. Those in peak performance can continue to Mt. Skuta and Mt. Dolgi hrbet and then descent over Mlinarsko sedlo to Češka koča. Return to Šenk homestead. Pleasantly tired you can enjoy (at your prior request) a 4-course dinner. Overnight stay.

Day 8: Šenk homestead - Veliki vrh – Return home

The last breakfast at Šenk homestead. It is a time to say goodbye! We will be happy to host you again next year. Leave Šenk homestead and drive to the centre of the village. Park next to the municipality building. Right before the school building, turn left. Cross the bridge and continue on a paved road that after a while becomes a gravel forest road. You will be able to see the former ski slope. After approximately two kilometres of the hike, you will reach a turn for Veliki vrh. A narrow marked trail leads you to the Mlinar pass. The last part of the trail is steeper, but the view at the top is worth your effort. Return to the Valley. Goodbye, Jezersko!
