Author’s recommendation
We recommend you to take this tour when the weather is fine and when Mt. Krasji vrh offers splendid views. The ridge can be covered with ice and without any snow. On such occasions it is better to carry your skis to the top of the mountain and to ski down the left side of the ridge.

Turn-by-turn directions
Start the tour at the Pri koritu parking lot above the village of Drežniške Ravne. Follow the road towards the Zaprikaj Mountain pasture and turn away from the road when a marked hiking trail turns left into the forest. Follow this trail towards Mt. Krasji vrh. When you reach a junction, follow the trail to the left because the trail to the right leads past the Snežna jama Cave and Mt. Debeljak to the top. When the forest becomes thinner, you soon arrive to the ridge leading to the top. Follow this ridge instead of the summer trail routed along the slope beneath the ridge. From the top, you should descend next to the ridge and continue through the forest down the same route you came from.
