Javorje - Gradovec (path over Glin)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica and Lake Bohinj. After Laški Rovt you will reach a small crossroads where the road to the left branches off and leads to the starting points of the route to Rodica, mountain pasture Suho, Šijo, Vogel. . . and the Laški Rovt camping area. The dirt road immediately turns into a forest and first climbs past the above-mentioned camping area and then climbs relatively steeply for a few kilometres. After a little less than 6,5 km of macadam, you will reach a slightly larger crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards mountain pasture Storeča raven (the starting point of the route to Vogel). Continue straight on here and after about 50 m of further driving you will reach a left turn where the starting point of the route towards mountain pasture Suha. Park in a suitable place on the roadside.

Path description:
Near the parking lot, on the west side of the torrent, there is a marked footpath leading to mountain pasture Suha. The path initially climbs up the right-hand side of the torrent before joining it. After a few steps along the torrent, the marked path turns to the right and lays completely flat. The gently sloping walk is quickly interrupted by a steep ascent over a relatively steep slope. The steepness then eases a little and the well-marked path then leads up through the dense forest along and along the torrent. A little higher up, the marked path leaves the stream to the left and rejoins it after a few minutes. The path then runs along the right side of the torrent and soon leads us out of the forest onto the vast mountain pasture of Suha.
From mountain pasture we continue for a short distance along the marked path towards the saddle Čez Suha, Rodica, Vogel and Šija, and then, when we see the torrent valley on the left, we leave the marked path and continue to the left into the aforementioned valley, along which we see the traces of a hunting track. The short valley soon ends, and the path leads us onto grassy terrain, where the track is slightly lost, but if we look ahead we will see the continuation of the hunting trail, which just a little further on climbs over a steep grade. There is a wide path leading over the steep part, so there are no major difficulties in ascending. When the steep part ends, the path turns to the right and continues with beautiful views all the way to Triglav. For a while you follow a well-traced hunting trail, which soon splits into two parts. Take the slightly left lower path (the right path leads to the foot of nearby peaks such as Vrh Okroglice, Špik, Suharski Kosmatec and splits a few more times, leading to different ends), which crosses the slopes to the east. After a few minutes of crossing, a view will open up towards the nearby hunting lodge on Glin, which can be reached in just over 5 minutes of further walking if you leave the path leading further towards mountain pasture Poljana.
From the point where a fainter path branches off to the left towards the hunting lodge, continue crossing for a while, then gradually arrive at a deeper contour, where snowfields can still be encountered in early summer. The way ahead begins to climb moderately on an old, partly overgrown mulatier and leads us towards the pass south of Gradovec (1692 m). Just a few metres before reaching the pass, another of the many overgrown paths in the vicinity branches off sharply to the right (the above-mentioned path, which is more difficult to follow than the one we have been on, can also be used to get back to mountain pasture Suha). At the top of the pass, the path leading to the top of Gradovec branches off to the left, and the path continues straight on to mountain pasture Poljana. On this pass there is usually a cairn which points to the left onto a cut path which continues through lane to dwarf pines. We continue to climb, first moderately and then quite steeply, along the southern and increasingly scenic ridge of Gradovec. With beautiful views of the mountains surrounding Bohinj, you quickly reach the summit, which, like the last part of the trail, is clear-cut.
