Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. 1km after Bled we come to the crossroad, where we turn right towards Bohinjska Bela. Further, we drive through the village to the railway station near of which road in the direction of Galetovec branches off to the right upward. We follow this road to a crossroad, where we notice signposts and by them smaller parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the left road in the direction of Galetovec. Soon after a longer right turn poorly marked cart track branches off to the left upwards. We continue the ascent on a cart track which is occasionally relatively steeply ascending. The path ahead crosses a bad forest road, and then we again join the road which we left. We follow the road to the left, and it soon brings us to the right turn, in the middle of which we continue the ascent on a footpath. The path ahead few more times crosses a forest road, after that over a grazing fence brings us to the mountain pasture Planina za Jamo.
From the mountain pasture, we continue straight on the path which goes into the forest. A little further poorly marked path turns right and it ascends on a smaller gully, after which we step on a road. We walk on the road only a short time because the path points us right towards two cottages. Between both cottages we notice faded sign with the caption Galetovec. The path ahead in a moderate ascent crosses a lane of a forest and it brings us to the next houses. The path which is further ascending on unvegetated slopes little higher brings us to the crossing.
We continue right in the direction of Galetovec on the path which after few minutes goes into the forest. Next follows approximately five minutes of walking through the forest to the top of Galetovec from which a beautiful view opens up.
