Route description
The mini bus takes us to Nemški Rovt village, pass the Bitenjska planina pasture, Ribčeva planina pasture and stops at the parking place under the Pečana pasture.
We walk through pine forest for about half an hour. On the path we can admire the Nettle-leaved Bellflower (Campanula trachelium), Cow Wheat (Melampyrum pratense), Black Rock (Potentilla erecta) and Fringed Pink (Dianthus hyssopifolius). We stop at the shepherd's hut on the pasture and have a drink. We continue towards the top and admire the features of high-mountain karst. We come to a sinkhole that is about 100 m deep, where the people used to mine iron ore. We find out more about iron era in this area. Soon we see the Ratitovec ridge. The Ratitovec mountain is included in the Julian Alps range, however, it is not as high as most of the mountains in this range. Ratitovec mountain is composed of the Dachstein limestone which is also the constituent part of the Bohinj mountains. The range is also characterised by the larch forests. The view from the Ratitovec is one of the most beautiful views in Slovenian mountains. The Julian Alps are seen as jagged mountain range, the Karavanke are seen as a long wall that is connected to the Grintavci range.
