Podkorita - Bitenjska planina

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce, and then we continue driving towards Bled and Bohinjska Bistrica. When we get to municipality Bohinj, we slowly need to pay attention to the left turn-off. Just before the main road crosses a bridge through river Sava Bohinjka, we continue slightly left on a macadam road which continues parallel with the river. From the main road, we drive on a macadam road for 2100 meters and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road, and it already in the very beginning leads through two successive streams and a smaller wooden cottage, which we notice on the left side. Only a little further, or immediately after the smaller bridge, we get to a smaller crossroad, where short road towards the nearby bee house branches off to the left. We continue towards bee house (straight waterfall Grmečica and Nomenj, right road ends on the nearby meadows) and behind it straight in a lane of bushes, where at first we notice bad footpath which only a few meters higher becomes more distinct. The path ahead leads us through shorter gravel terrain, where it turns right and passes on an old cart track. Further, we are ascending on a cart track, and on two less noticeable crossings we follow to the right. Cart track then crosses a little to the right and brings us into a smaller valley, where it almost entirely vanishes. Few strides we continue through a small valley or some sort of wide ditch, and then the footpath leads left on slopes, where the cart track again becomes more distinct. Only a little higher we cross the forest road, and footpath above it at first ascends through a lane of bushes, and then passes into the forest, through which it starts ascending steeper. Higher again follows few almost unnoticeable crossings, and we follow "main" path, which higher brings us on more rocky and partly with high grass covered cart track. Here we continue left and then after few meters, when we get to a smaller valley right on a gently sloping cart track, on which we ascend to the nearby macadam road. We follow the road to the right, and after few 10 meters on a smaller right turn, slightly left on a cart track, on which we ascend to the bottom part of the mountain pasture Bitenjska planina. When we step out of the forest we continue slightly left, and after a shorter ascent, we already notice first cottages on the mountain pasture, to which we walk over more and more panoramic meadow.
