Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road in the direction of the mountain pasture Belska planina. The road, on which we walk is ascending gently through the spruce forest, and when forest starts to get thinner, we get to the periphery of Belska planina. Here we get to a smaller crossroad, and we continue on a slightly left road which brings us in the heart of the mountain pasture, where there stand more wooden cottages.
On the other side of the mountain pasture we return on a slightly right road, and there we continue through a small valley to few minutes distant marked crossing.
From the crossing marked path on Galetovec branches off to the right (20 minutes), and we continue straight, on an ascending road, to the nearby NOB monument.
After the memorial we continue slightly right, on an unmarked path, which soon turns a little to the left and then through the forest brings us on the ridge of Turn, on which we quickly ascend on a panoramic peak.
