Bistrica pri Tržiču - Lešanska planina

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Tržič. Just before the gas station at Tržič, turn right (direction Tržič) and then immediately left (direction Begunje). Soon after Bistrica pri Tržiču, a macadam road towards Vila Bistrica branches off sharply to the right. Here we turn right and then park at a suitable place by the road.

Path description:
From the crossroad, we continue on a macadam road in the direction of Vila Bistrica. The road, which gently ascends, brings us to asphalt in a few minutes, where we arrive at a crossroad by which there is a chapel.
Immediately behind the chapel we continue sharply left on a cart track which bypasses the nearby residential house on the left side (nearby we also notice signposts for Dobrča and Bistriška planina). The cart track quickly enters the forest and relatively steeply ascends to some sort of ridge, from which occasionally we get a little view towards Kriška gora and Gorenjska. When the ridge ends we continue on the right cart track, which returns to the forest, and we follow it to a more grassy part (area named Na planincah).
Further on, the cart track occasionally ascends quite steeply, then brings us to several successive crossings, where it flattens. At the crossings, we carefully follow the blazes, which eventually divert us from the cart track onto a forest footpath. The fairly gentle path then brings us to Bistriška planina in a few minutes.
On Bistriška planina we step onto the road, and follow it to the left, where after a few steps we step onto another wider road. We follow the other road uphill, continuing along the edge of Bistriška planina. The road ahead moderately ascends through the forest, then brings us to Breška planina, where a hunting cottage stands.
We continue on the road, which returns to the forest, and which gradually starts to ascend more steeply. Higher up we reach a marked crossing, where a marked footpath from Brezje pri Tržiču joins from the left, and we continue sharply right on the gradually steeper cart track. Approximately 20 minutes of walking on the mentioned cart track follow, then the path brings us out of the forest onto the lower part of Lešanska planina. We continue uphill on the planina, where we quickly arrive at the shepherd's hut on the mentioned planina.
