Krnica - Debela peč

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we go to the exit Lesce and we follow the road in the direction of Bled. In the traffic light crossroad in Bled we continue right (direction Pokljuka) and we follow occasionally a little more narrow road to the village Krnica. Here we will notice signs for gorge Pokljuška soteska, which point us to the right (direction Radovna) and then already after few meters left. We all the time follow the road ahead in the direction of gorge Pokljuška soteska, by the beginning of which we park on the settled parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go right, on the road in the direction of Klek and Kranjska dolina. The road quickly passes into the forest, where starts ascending steeply. A little higher, the road for some time flattens and past a smaller religious symbol (St. Miklavž) brings us on the other side of the ridge, as is gorge Pokljuška soteska. We continue on a relatively steep road which past pastures and shepherd hut brings us to a little bigger chapel, behind which we soon come at the marked crossing.
We continue slightly right (left Lipanca) and we follow worse road only few 10 strides, to the spot, where blazes point us on a footpath which passes into the forest. The path ahead is ascending through the forest, by the edge of ample mountain pasture Pokljuka. Higher, the path which runs by the edge of grazing fence, brings us on a wide cart track, on which we continue an ascent. Cart track higher quite few times crosses a forest road, and we always follow it in the direction of the mountain pasture Klek and mountain pasture Meja dolina. After a time cart track brings us to bigger clearing, on which already growing young spruces. Here, the footpath among spruces almost entirely vanishes, but already after few minutes of breaking through young forest, we will soon step on a cart track which we then follow to a nearby road.
When we step on the road, we follow it sharp to the right (direction Klek, Lipanca), and we walk there only few 10 meters, after that on a smaller clearing signs for Klek point us to the left on a quite overgrown footpath (on this part there is quite a lot of uncutted fallen trees). Higher marked path returns on the road, and we continue there to the spot, where blazes point us slightly right on rough forest cart track. On cart track we are ascending few 10 strides, after that marked path turns to the left, where it is then moderately ascending through the forest. Higher, we again cross the road, and occasionally poorly visible footpath, past memorial plates NOB brings us by the edge of abandoned mountain pasture Meja dolina.
We continue on a marked path, which on the left side bypasses the mentioned mountain pasture and higher again crosses a forest road. The path ahead starts ascending steeply, and then when we once again cross the road, gradually flattens and it brings us to a smaller parking lot near the mountain pasture Klek. Here we follow the road to the right, and after few steps, we notice hiking signposts, which point us to the left on a marked footpath. Next, we ascend past a watering-place for animals and a moderately steep path quickly brings us to shepherd huts on the mountain pasture Klek. From the mentioned huts, a beautiful view opens up on the entire mountain pasture, and we continue slightly right and diagonally descend to the second part of the mountain pasture, where there stands some more shepherd huts.
We continue on a poorly visible path, which already after few 10 strides of additional walking passes into larch forest. Here, the footpath again becomes more distinct, and we follow it in the direction of Lipanca. Next follows few shorter ascents and descents, on occasionally again poorly visible footpath. After approximately 30 minutes of walking from the mountain pasture Klek, we will come at the marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Debela peč (slightly left Lipanca and Debela peč past Spodnja Brda). At the crossing, the footpath for a short time entirely vanishes, but if we continue in the direction as shows signpost, we quickly find it. Further, the path starts moderately ascending through thinner (mostly) larch forest. Only a little further, we pass into a smaller valley, through which we are ascending to the spot, where signs for Debela peč point us sharp to the left. The path ahead passes into a lane of dwarf pines, through which we ascend below the ridge of Klečica (the peak Klečica is situated more to the right). Only few 10 meters before the mentioned ridge, marked path turns left and starts diagonally descending towards the southwest. During the descent, few times a breathtaking view opens up on Debela peč. The path ahead for some time crosses with dwarf pines vegetated slopes, and then turns to the right and starts very steeply ascending. After a short ascent, we again reach the ridge, from which a nice view opens up towards Radovna.
On the ridge, the path turns to the left and it avoids the ridge into a dwarf pine, through which the path is still very steeply ascending. The path higher flattens and brings us on panoramic and on some spots also precipitous ridge (path runs a little below the ridge, so that there is no significant danger for slipping). The path ahead slightly descends, and then it brings us by the upper edge of gully in the shape of letter V. We continue on a marked path, which then leads us by ridge of Debela peč, and after less than 5 minutes of additional walking brings us on a panoramic peak.
