Vrbovska Poljana - Bjelolasica (via Žuta Poljana)

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Petrina we drive to Delnice, where we get to an old road Zagreb - Reka. We continue right and we follow the road ahead towards Mrkopalj. And in the village Mrkopalj a sign for Begovo - Razdolje (highest settlement in Croatia) points right on an ascending road which soon brings us in the mentioned village. At the end of the village, we come to a smaller crossroad, where we continue on the right road which soon becomes a macadam. This road after few kilometers brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Bjelolasica (right Janjčarica). Further, we drive past the quarry after which we soon notice signposts KPP, which point us to the left upwards. We park here on a smaller parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go left on a footpath which after good 10 minutes of a moderate ascent brings us to bad macadam road, where there is a crossing. We continue left on the road in the direction of Žuta Poljana (straight Bjelolasica direct path). The worse road after few ten meters changes into a wide cart track which starts descending. When the path flattens unmarked worse cart track branches off right slightly upwards, by which we soon notice quite faded blazes. Cart track then ascends a little steeper and after few minutes changes into a steep footpath. Steep path soon brings us on at first an indistinct ridge, which we follow on barely visible path with faded blazes. Despite a poorly visible path there aren't any bigger problems with orientation, because the path follows the ridge, which is in parts quite wide. Eventually, the path brings us on less vegetated slopes, from which increasingly beautiful views opening up. Ridge then gradually narrows and the path quickly brings us to the summit of Bjelolasica.
