Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce, and then we continue driving towards Bled. In Bled "we ignore" left turn-offs in the direction towards Koritno, Bodešče, Ribno and Selo and we continue driving to the traffic light, where a road branches off to the right towards Gorje and Pokljuka. At the mentioned crossroad, we continue straight and we start descending towards Lake Bled. When on the left we notice Chinese restaurant Peking we leave the main road towards Bohinjska Bistrica and behind restaurant we continue left on street Ulica Narodnih herojev. At few smaller crossroads, we continue on the main road, and then we get to the road Cankarjeva cesta, on which we drive for some time, or to a crossroad at the chapel, where we continue slightly right in the direction of Selo and Dobra gora (still on the main road Ribno). We continue driving on a gradually narrower road which for some time leads by meadows and fields, and then passes into the forest through which it starts descending. Lower forest ends, and we get to the village Selo and a little further also at the smaller crossroad, where we continue straight (left and then immediately right) downwards in the direction of Sava and Kupljenik (left Ribno, right Bled). Next follows some descent on still relatively narrow road, and then the asphalt ends, and on a little wider macadam road we drive to the bridge Selski most over the river Sava Bohinjka. We park on an appropriate place by the bridge.
B) First, we drive to Podbrdo and from there in Bohinjska Bistrica (with car shuttle train or over Soriška planina). From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue driving towards Bled, and there, when we get to the lake we turn right in the direction of Selo. Further, we drive on a narrow road Mlinska cesta. Bled soon ends, and still relatively narrow and the road brings us in the village Selo, where at the smaller crossroad in the middle of the village we continue right in the direction of Sava and Kupljenik (left Bled, straight Ribno). Next follows some descent on still relatively narrow road, and then the asphalt ends, and on a little wider macadam road we drive to the bridge Selski most over the river Sava Bohinjka. We park on an appropriate place by the bridge.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go over a bridge through Sava Bohinjka, from which a nice view opens up on Ribenska gora, and after the bridge we continue right in the direction of Bohinjska Bela, Kupljenik and Talež. We short time continue on the macadam road which goes along the river, and then at the first crossroad we continue left on a worse road in the direction of Talež (straight Kupljenik). The worse road is few minutes ascending by the grazing fence, at the end of it it splits into two cart tracks.
We continue on the left cart track (crossing isn't marked), which gradually turns left and it quickly brings us on a meadow, from which a view opens up a little towards Karawanks, but it isn't that nice as below from the starting point, because part of the view is veiled by spruces. After the decaying hayloft, which is situated by the end of the meadow, the path returns into the forest and starts ascending steeper. We continue on a relatively wide cart track, where "we ignore" all right turn-offs of side cart tracks. When higher we get to a smaller crossing, by which we notice signs for hunting cottage Na Taležu, we continue slightly right, on a still wide cart track. The path ahead is ascending diagonally towards the right and it runs on occasionally even steeper slopes of Tolsti vrh (883 meters). On the part, where the path for some time flattens a little, from the right also technically a little more demanding path from Kupljenik joins, which is since the year 2014 closed because of the sleet storm.
From the crossing ahead we continue in the direction of Talež, on for some time marked path, on which in few minutes of additional ascent, we get to a crossing on a smaller saddle, by which there is a smaller bench and NOB monument.
On the saddle to the left continues the path on Tolsti vrh and forward to the hunting cottage Na Taležu, straight leads the path to the mountain pasture Talež, and towards the right the path continues towards the mountain pasture Vršana and Jelovica.
We continue in the direction of the mountain pasture Vršana (by the crossing there aren't any marks for mountain pasture Vršana) and start ascending diagonally towards the right. Follows few minutes of a moderate ascent, and then the path brings us by the edge of the mountain pasture Vršana, on which there is a feeding site for wild animals.
We bypass the mountain pasture on the right side and we continue the ascent on the path, by which we are accompanied by otherwise rare signs by the path in the shape of the mountain boot. Few minutes higher we step on a relatively new forest road, by which there are signs only in the direction, from where we come. We follow the road to the left, and we walk there until we come out of the forest on the edge of the mountain pasture Danejeva planina. Here in front of us we already notice a wooden cottage on the mountain pasture, to which we have only few steps of walking.
