Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Korensko sedlo we drive to Austria, and then also before the main crossroad (crossroad of road Beljak - Trbiž) we turn right in Radna vas / Radendorf. At the next crossroad at settlement Šentlenart pri Sedmih studencih / St. Leonhard bei Siebenbrünn we continue right towards the village Grpiče / Korpitch (left Ločilo / Hart). When we get to Grpiče we follow the signs for Blekova planina - Blekowa Alm. At the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots.
Path description:
From the upper part of the village we cross a grazing fence and through the pasture we gently ascend to a crossroad, by which there is marked crossing. From the crossroad, we continue on the left road in the direction of "Pridou - Blekova", and we follow it only few minutes, because then blazes point us right on a footpath which higher few more times crosses a forest road. On some spots poorly marked, and very overgrown path then for some time continues on a macadam road and from time to time again leaves it. Higher, the path continues mainly on the road, and we follow it to a longer left turn, on the end of which marked path branches off to the right. The path ahead at first ascends through the forest and then passes into overgrown small valley, where on an overgrown path we ascend to the near forest road which we reach right at Pridovske koče.
When we step on the road, we join a little more visited path from the village Žužalče / Susalitch. Here we bypass few cottages, and then the road turns sharply to the right and after few 10 strides it brings us to the spot, where blazes lead left on a footpath which is then ascending through the forest. After a short ascent, we return on the road and after 20 meters we again leave it. Only few meters higher we for the last time cross the road, and then we start steeply ascending through the forest. Higher, we are ascending over steep grassy slope surrounded by lush bushes, and then the path returns into the forest. Still steep path, then crosses a grazing fence and behind it flattens. Next follows a gentle ascent to the border ridge and an increasingly panoramic path (a view on Dobrač and Martuljek group) brings us to the shepherd hut on the mountain pasture Blekova planina.
From the shepherd hut, we return to the sign, which marks national border, and then we continue towards the west, where we quickly notice at first a poorly visible footpath which turns slightly to the left in the forest. Through the forest, we at first ascend on a cart track, and then we continue the ascent on a less beaten footpath which continues direct on the national border. Higher the rare Austrian blazes end, and we follow the worse path by the border ridge. After few minutes, the path flattens and it brings us out of the forest on partly panoramic meadow, where the footpath completely vanishes. We continue by the ridge and after a minute or two of additional walking, we get to the top of Zajčnik.
