Bohinjska Bela (St. Marjeta) - Rečiška planina

Access to starting point:
From the road Bled - Bohinjska Bistrica we drive in the direction of Bohinjska Bela, where we park on a parking lot near the parish church of St. Marjeta.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which starts lightly ascending through the settlement. The road soon entirely flattens and past the post office and Mercator store brings us to a crossroad, where we continue slightly right in the direction of apartments Pr Klemuc. After a small pond, we go right in the direction of Mlina peč, Slamniki and Galetovec (slightly left Iglica and Široka peč) and we start ascending on a cart track, by which we are accompanied by signs of a learning trail. At the smaller crossing, we go slightly left and we diagonally ascend to a smaller saddle, where a short path branches off to the right on panoramic Mlina peč, and we continue slightly left in the direction of Galetovec and Slamniki. Next follows an easy ascent, where we go past "playground", and at the playground, we turn a little to the right. When a little further, the path Godrnjavčeva pot turns right, we continue straight, past the storage of logs into the forest. Through the forest, we continue straight, on this part we notice a lonely blaze, and then we for some time step on an asphalt road, on which we ascend to a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue slightly right in the direction of Kavca and we continue on a cart track which is mostly moderately ascending. Cart track soon narrows into a hiking path, which turns a little to the right and crosses the stream and further we follow the signs for Rčitno. When we step out of the forest we get to Kavca, where we continue right and past a bigger storage of logs we get to the forest, where we continue walking on a cart track. Higher the cart track for some time steeply ascends, and then at the feed site widens into a worse road, on which in few minutes we reach a wider macadam road which we follow to the left towards Rčitno.
Further, the road passes into a small valley below Strešno brdo, and when we leave a small valley we pass over on slopes of Gače, from where for some time a view opens up a little on surrounding hills. The path ahead for some time returns into the forest, when we leave it we already reach Rčitno, where there are few cottages.
In the middle of the bottom part of the mountain pasture, we continue left in the direction of Bohinjska Bela and on the road which soon changes into a cart track, in a moderate ascent we ascend on the upper south edge of the mountain pasture, where we continue right (straight Bohinjska Bela) past the cottage in the forest. In the forest, we quickly notice signs for Pokljuka, and we diagonally ascend to a forest road which we follow to the right (left we can get to Galetovec). On the road, we for some time descend a little and then signs and blazes point us to the left on the path which ascends diagonally on a little steeper slope. Higher, we reach the cart track, and we are ascending there through a small valley, where we quickly get to a crossing by a small cottage. Behind the cottage, we continue right and marked path brings us to Forestry cottage Mali Vokel, which is situated at an altitude 1145 meters.
We bypass forestry cottage on the right side, and then blazes lead us in the forest, through which we ascend steeper. Few minutes higher we cross a macadam road, and we continue straight and also on the macadam road in few 10 strides we get to the hunting cottage.
We bypass hunting cottage on the left side and we continue walking on a bad road. When the road turns a little to the right, we continue straight on a marked cart track, and further we follow the blazes and we ascend to the former ski slope Zatrnik, where we start descending (if we continue right we can in a minute or two ascend to the top of the ski slope Berjanca, from where a nice view opens up, which reaches all the way to Triglav). Next follows a shorter descent, and then we cross the forest road and we continue on a marked cart track. Cart track soon splits, and we choose the upper right path, which is further ascending through the spruce forest. Few minutes higher we go from the cart track left on a marked path, and it soon starts descending to the northeastern part of the mountain pasture Rečiška planina. Next follows a walk on the mountain pasture Rečiška planina, where we go past few cottages.
