Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and we follow the road ahead towards Bled. In Bled at the traffic lights, the signs for Pokljuka point us to the right. Ahead we drive through Spodnje and Zgornje Gorje to the village Krnica, where we leave the main road and we continue driving right towards Radovna and Krnica. Through Krnica we follow the main road, and after the bridge over the river Radovna we turn left towards Mojstrana and Radovna. After few kilometers of additional driving asphalt ends, and we follow the macadam road through a bridge over the river Radovna. When we cross the bridge we get to left side of the river (right bank), from the bridge we drive to the first turn-off of the macadam road to the left. We park on an appropriate place by the road near the crossroad.
B) We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Hrušica and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village Dovje the road which goes to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma) branches off to the left. We follow the road ahead in the direction of village Radovna and the valleys Krma and Kot. The relatively steep road then runs past the sign TNP, behind which the road soon flattens and it brings us to a crossroad, where a macadam road into a valley Kot branches off to the right. We continue straight on the road which starts descending, and from there quickly road branches off to the right which leads in Krma. Here we continue straight on the main road, on which we quickly get to Zgornja Radovna, and at the end of the hamlet to a crossroad, where also second road in Krma branches off to the right. Here we go left and we continue driving on a macadam road which we follow to the first turn-off of the road to the right. We park on an appropriate place by the road near the crossroad.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a side road, by which there is a sign, that further driving is forbidden (exceptions are landowners). Only a little further, the path leads past the cottage of Forest service Slovenia and past the green gate, which is preventing further driving (even if a gate is open we are not allowed to continue driving, because we are warned by one more traffic sign).
Further, the road leads through unvegetated slope (consequences of strong wind October 2009), from which a nice view opens up towards Mežakla. At the crossroad on the upper part of clearing we continue right, and then we gradually pass into forest. The relatively steep road higher again splits into two parts, and we again continue on the right road (road slightly left leads towards Konavčev žleb and Zimova peč). For a short time, we continue through the valley Stresena dolina, and then the road turns sharply to the right and then it ascends diagonally to the next crossroad, where we continue sharply left on "main" road (right road ends in nearby forests). Only a little above the mentioned crossroad, we get to the spot, where we leave the road which leads towards Pokljuka and we continue sharply right on the road which leads on the mountain pasture Frčkova planina.
From the crossroad ahead, the road gradually flattens, and from there for some time a view opens up a little on Kamnik Savinja Alps and part of Karawanks. On the road, we walk to its end, and from there slightly right on an ascending cart track which in few minutes brings us to the mountain pasture Frčkova planina.
