Ilovec - Turn (above Bohinjska Bela)

Access to starting point:
A) From Bled or Jesenice se we drive on Pokljuka, after we are already on a plateau we turn left in the direction of Bohinj. Further, we drive on the road towards Gorjuše, between road signs 4.5 and 5 km, on the left we notice a cart track and by it signs for Galetovec. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots.
B) From Železniki or Podbrdo we drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Bled. Soon after Petrol gas station, which is located only a little after Bohinjska Bistrica, we continue driving left in the direction of Pokljuka and Jereka. Further, the road at first steeply ascends, and after Korita gradually flattens and it brings us to a crossroad by bus stop, where we continue right in the direction of Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the crossroad, we get to Jereka, and from the crossroad in front of the church we continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road again starts ascending steeper, and higher flattens and continues by stream Mrzli potok, where the road in Koprivnik v Bohinju branches off to the left, and we continue straight towards Pokljuka and Gorjuše. After Gorjuše road passes into the forest, and we are driving there to the road sign between 5 and 4.5 km, where on the right we notice a cart track and by it signs for Galetovec. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots.

Path description:
From the main road signs for Galetovec lead on a cart track which immediately splits into two parts. We continue on the right, possible also left, because after the initial ascent cart tracks quickly join. The path ahead leads us past a smaller religious symbol, after that further gently sloping cart track brings us out of the forest, where we reach the edge of the mountain pasture Ilovec. Here we continue straight, a little downwards, to the near shepherd hut, where from the right side also the path from Bohinjska Bela joins - path over mountain pasture Planina za Jamo.
From the shepherd hut ahead we are ascending on a worse cart track which takes us on the upper part of the mountain pasture, where the path once again splits.
We continue straight (right one of the paths on Galetovec), and then a little ahead a cart track on which we continue flattens. Here also the second path on Galetovec branches off to the right, and we slightly descend into a smaller valley. Next follows a short ascent, where also third path on Galetovec branches off to the right, and we walk on a cart track to few minutes distant crossroad, where we continue right (left Belska planina).
On the road, we ascend to the nearby NOB monument, and behind it we go slightly right, on an unmarked footpath which turns a little towards the left and then quickly brings us on the ridge. We continue on the ridge and after less than a minute of additional walking, we get to the top of panoramic Turn.
