Zgornji Goreljek - Javorov vrh (Pokljuka)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and we follow the road in the direction of Bled, there in traffic lights crossroad signs for Pokljuka point us to the right. This road which in the lower part runs through some villages and later starts ascending steeper we follow in the direction of Šport hotel on Pokljuka. At the crossroad by immediate vicinity of the hotel we continue slightly left and we continue driving towards the mountain pasture Goreljek and ski lift Jelka, which is situated by the eponymous inn. We park on the settled parking lot by information boards (parking lot on the right side of the road is intended for visitors of the ski slope).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which is gently descending towards the bottom part of the mountain pasture Goreljek. After approximately 15 minutes of walking, we come at the marked crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain pasture Zajamniki. We continue the ascent on the forest road which quickly passes into the forest and is then barely ascending. Eventually, the road on the right side bypasses the mountain pasture Jelje, and we follow it for some time, and then on the right side we notice signs for Javorov vrh, which point us to the right on at first a wide footpath. The path ahead at first moderately ascends, and then for some time flattens and brings us into a lane of thin forest. After few minutes, the path returns into a dense spruce forest and it again starts moderately ascending. The mentioned path, by which we notice some old and quite faded blazes, we then follow all the way to vegetated Javorov vrh.
From the top, we continue a little further (direction west) and after few 10 strides of additional walking, we get to a nice vantage point, from which a nice view opens up on the highest peaks of the Julian Alps.
