Hey Steemians :)

-Koroška Rinka ( 2,433 m or 7,982 ft )
-Kranjska Rinka ( 2,453 m or 8,047 ft )
-Turska Gora ( 2,251 m or 7,385 ft )

I came in Logar Valley around 6 AM. My starting point was Koča pod slapom Rinka at 930 m or 3,051 ft. After 30 min of hiking I came to the Frischauf Lodge at Okrešelj. Then my path leads me towards the Savinjsko sedlo. After 1 hour path finally became more interesting for me because I had to use all my limbs to climb over the path covered with steel ropes and pegs :D

On the north side of the mountains frozen snow surprised me and path became very hard on some points because I didn't brought crampons. But in the end I successfully reached the top of Mount Koroška Rinka. I came to the top around 9 AM.IMG_4071.JPG

My next destination was Mount Kranjska Rinka ( left one in last picture ). First I had to got down from Koroška Rinka for few meters and rocks were crumbly so I had to be very careful.

At some point I decided not to continue on marked path and just went my way ( I thought it'll be shortcut ). But few minutes later I realized I made a mistake ( UPSSS ). I had to climb about 10 m in snow and rocks were very slippery. After the hardest part of my shortcut I met this little fella.

When I reached the top of Kranjska Rinka the weather up there was perfect. There was no wind and sun rays were so warm. I had a breakfast, a cup of tea and just enjoyed in views below me.

After that I went on Mount Turska Gora which I visited few months ago with my cousin and from there I continue my way towards the Kamnik Saddle.
