Javorje - Gradovec (path over Glin)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica and lake Bohinj. After the settlement Laški Rovt we will get to a smaller crossroad, where the road which leads towards the starting point of the path on Rodica, mountain pasture Suha, Šija, Vogel... and scout camp Laški Rovt branches off to the left. Macadam road immediately passes into the forest and at first ascend past the mentioned scout camp, and then it is few kilometers relatively steeply ascending. After a little less than 6.5 km of driving on a macadam, we will get to a little bigger crossroad, where a road towards the mountain pasture Planina Storeča raven (starting point of the path on Vogel) branches off to the right. Here we continue straight and after approximately 50 meters of additional driving, we get to the left turn, where there is a starting point of the path towards Planina Suha. We park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
Near the parking lot, on the west side of the torrent we notice a marked footpath which leads towards the mountain pasture Planina Suha. The path is at first ascending on the right side of the torrent, and then it joins it. After few steps of walking on torrential gravel marked path turns to the right and entirely flattens. Gentle walk quickly interrupts steep ascent on a relatively steep slope. The steepness then a little decreases and well-marked path then leads us through a dense forest on and by a torrent upwards. A little higher, the marked path withdraw from the torrent to the left and after few minutes joins it again. The path which then runs on the right side of the torrent soon brings us out of the forest on an ample mountain pasture Suha.
From the mountain pasture, we short time continue on a marked path towards the saddle Čez Suho, Rodica, Vogel and Šija, after that when on the left we notice a torrent valley we leave the marked path and we continue left in the mentioned small valley, by which we notice traces of hunting footpath. The short small valley soon ends, and the path brings us on a grassy terrain, where the footpath vanishes a little, but if we look ahead we will see the continuation of the hunting path, which only a little further ascends over a steep section. Through the steep part leads a wide path, so at the ascent, there aren't any bigger problems. When steep part ends path turns to the right and continues with nice views, which reaches all the way to Triglav. For some time we walk on easy to follow hunting path, which soon splits into two parts. We choose the slightly left lower path (right path leads towards the foot of the nearby peaks such as Vrh Okroglice, Špik, Suharski Kosmatec and further it few more times splits and leads on different places), which crosses slopes towards the east. After few minutes of crossing a view will open up towards the nearby hunting cottage Na Glinu, to which we can get to in good 5 minutes of additional walking, if we leave the footpath which leads further towards the mountain pasture Poljana.
From the spot, where worse footpath towards the hunting cottage branches off to the left for some time we continue with the crossing, and then we gradually get to deeper sinkhole, where we can in the beginning of summer still run into snow fields. The path ahead starts moderately ascending on the old, partly overgrown mule track and leads us towards the saddle south from Gradovec (1692 meters). Only few meters before we reach the mentioned saddle, one of numerous overgrown footpaths in nearby surrounding branches off sharply to the right (on the mentioned footpath which is harder to follow as is this, on which we were walking, we can return also back on the mountain pasture Suha). On the saddle, the path branches off to the left, which leads to the summit of Gradovec, and straight the path continues towards the mountain pasture Poljana.
On the mentioned saddle usually stands a cairn, which points us left on cutted path which continues through a lane of dwarf pines. Further, we are at first moderately, after that relatively steeply ascending on the south and more and more panoramic ridge of Gradovec. With nice views on mountains, which surround Bohinj, we quickly reach the panoramic peak, which is same as last part of the path cutted.
