Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce, from where we drive to Bled. From here we continue in the direction of "Pokljuka, Zgornje Gorje". At the end of the mentioned village on the left we notice a bus stop, and right turn-off of the road which runs in the direction of Radovna, and we go there. Immediately, when after the mentioned turn-off road descends, we turn left in the settlement, where we also notice the sign with a map of Pokljuka gorge. We drive further through the settlement to a macadam, where after approx 1 km road descends to a bridge, over which we drive to the parking lot or starting point.
Path description:
On the left (south) side of the parking lot, we will notice an information board "Pokljuka Gorge", where we go on the path which leads towards the destination. Partly ruined path leads us by and on a riverbed of the stream Ribščica uphill through the forest towards the gorge. By the path, we are accompanied by blazes "P", and information boards. We soon get to the wall with signposts. Here at first we turn left towards the gorge, natural bridge, and Galerije. When we ascend few meters, at first shows up a wide space of the gorge, where in the direction of above left we can notice attractive natural bridge. The path ahead leads in scenic narrow gorge, through which we quite quickly ascend on a yard below Galerije (currently ruined 10/6/2009, therefore do not try to ascend there - deadly dangerous!).
Here, right in rock shelter on benches we can rest, or we go few more meters higher in the direction of "Zatrnik", from where we look into a space below us, and later we return back towards the before mentioned wall with signs. When we are there we go also right from signs (straight uphill) towards so-called "Luknja". This attractive cave or large rocky natural passage, we reach already in few 10 meters of additional walking uphill, which continues also in the passage. Towards the top path steeply ascends and it turns left (from here we can continue towards Pokljuka), and here we end our tour, and we return on the same path to the starting point.
