Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway on crossing Podtabor, and then we continue driving towards Tržič, Ljubelj and Celovec. In front of a gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we leave the main road, and then at the crossroads we follow the signs for Begunje na Gorenjskem. When Bistrica pri Tržiču ends, soon the road towards the church of St. Jurij branches off sharply to the right (by the crossroad we can see also signs for Vila Bistrica), and on the main road, we continue to the nearby left turn, where before water catchment Žegnani studenec and before the small bridge we turn right, where we then park on an appropriate place.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a cart track which starts ascending by the stream Blajšnica. Cart track, on which we are ascending has higher more crossings, and on all of them we continue straight, where the path leads past numerous water catchments. Higher, we reach the macadam road which leads from Brezje pri Tržiču towards Bistriška planina, and we are ascending there only to the left turn, because unmarked footpath continues straight through the forest. For some time we still walk through a small forest valley, after that when we again reach the road, we also stay there and we ascend there to Bistriška planina.
