Access to starting point:
From Bled or Jesenice we drive on Zatrnik, and then we continue driving towards Pokljuka. After Zatrnik we drive to first road left (i.e. at the road sign between 5.5 km and 6.0 km), and then we drive for few 100 meters, to first bigger right turn. After the turn road which descends to the mountain pasture Smrečica branches off to the left, and only a little further we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road which is gently ascending, after longer left turn, where we also leave the route of a former ski track of the ski slope Zatrnik, the road stops ascending, and occasionally further it also descends a little. While walking on the road, we then also cross the route of former ski lift Berjanca and a little further also a ski track Berjanca, and a little further view opens up a little towards Karawanks. After a short panoramic part we reach a marked path Bled (Zaka) - Pokljuka, which we quickly leave because we still continue on a macadam road.
From the crossing ahead the road is mostly gently to occasionally moderately ascending, and after a time from the left joins the marked path from Bohinjska Bela - path over Slamniki. Here few steps ahead, only a little before memorial NOB, in the direction of straight or slightly towards the left path on few minutes distant Turn (1249 meters) branches off, and we continue right on a marked path which continues on the road.
At the next crossing, which is located not far away, we leave the road and we continue left in the direction of Galetovec (straight Belska planina).
The path ahead leads us on a pleasant cart track which after few minutes we leave because signs for Galetovec point us to the left, on at first poorly noticeably footpath which descends by the edge of the forest to a smaller valley, where passes into the forest. Through the forest, we follow the blazes and the forest path, on which in few minutes we ascend on a panoramic peak.
