Bohinjska Bela (St. Marjeta) - Hotunjski vrh

Access to the starting point:
From the Bled - Bohinjska Bistrica road, drive in the direction of Bohinjska Bela, where you can park in the parking lot near the parish church of St. Marjeta.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the asphalt road, which begins to climb gently through the village. The road soon becomes completely flat and leads past the post office and the Mercator shop to a crossroads, where you continue slightly right in the direction of the Klemuc apartments. After the small pond, go right in the direction of Mlina peč, Slamniki and Galetovec (slightly left Iglica and Široka peč) and start climbing up the cart track, along which you will be accompanied by the signs of the educational trail. At a small crossroads, go slightly left and climb crosswise to a small pass where a short path branches off to the right to the Mlina peč lookout, and we continue slightly left in the direction of Galetovec and Slamniki. There is an easy climb where you pass the casino, and we turn slightly to the right at the casino. When the Godrnjavčva trail turns right a little further on, we continue straight ahead, past the woodpile into the forest. We continue straight through the forest, at this point we see a lone marking, and then we cross a tarmac road, which we follow up to a marked crossroads.

From the crossroads, bear slightly right in the direction of Kavka and continue along the cart track, which climbs moderately for the most part. Cart track soon narrows to a footpath which turns slightly to the right and crosses a small stream, and continue following the signs for Rčitno. Once out of the forest, you will reach Kavka, where you continue to the right and pass a large wood pile to reach the forest, where you continue walking along cart track. At a higher altitude, cart track climbs steeply, then widens at the feed station into a less good road, which in a few minutes reaches a wider macadam road, which is followed to the left towards Rčitný.

The road then turns into a valley below Strešni brdo, and when you leave the valley, you move onto the slopes of Gač, from where you can get some views of the surrounding hills. The path continues onwards, returning to the forest, where it also splits.
Continue slightly right on the ascending cart track (straight mountain pasture Rčitno - 5 minutes), which bypasses mountain pasture Rčitno on the right. During the cross-climb, we get some views towards the above-mentioned mountain pasture, while cart track soon turns into a dense forest, and at the nearby fork we choose the right cart track, which is further on quite exposed from the torrential waters. Follow the cart track until you reach a dirt road, which you follow to the right. Follow the road for a few minutes, then when it starts to descend, leave it (leave the road at the part where it starts to descend, or a minute further on at the ruins of the former Posavc homestead) and continue left into the woods, where after a minute or two you will reach the former ski slope of the Zatrnik ski resort.
The ascent continues along the former ski slope, which turns left, and then, as the views get better and better, you arrive at the top station of the disused ski lift, from where it is only a short 10-step walk along the ridge to the top of Hotunjski vrh.
