From Škofja Loka, continue driving towards Železniki. Drive past the village of Češnjica, then arrive in the village of Otoki, where you turn right at the crossroads (direction Podlonk, Prtovč). Follow the ascending road and after about 15 minutes you will arrive at a parking lot near the church in the village of Prtovč.

From the car park, walk past the church and the NOB monument to the beginning of the village, where you will come to a well-marked crossroads. Continue slightly right in the direction of Ratitovec over Razor (Ratitovec over Poden on the left). The well-marked trail goes immediately into the forest and climbs steeply. Soon you reach a forest road and continue in the direction of Ratitovec. The path then climbs and turns slightly to the left. Soon you reach a plain and you can see the signs for Ratitovec (up to the left). The path starts to climb again. There is a short strip of forest and soon you reach the top of Ratitovec to the Krek's hut. Continue past the hut into the valley (direction Soriška planina). Descend to the animal watering point and then continue along the steep slope. There is a short descent, then continue in the direction of Altemavro. Soon you will reach the top, where the stamp is waiting for you.
