Medvedova konta - Debela peč (via Kotel)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lesce and follow the road in the direction of Bled, where you will be directed to the right at a semaphore crossing marked for Pokljuka. Follow this road, which takes us through a few villages in the lower part and later starts to climb steeply, to Mrzle Studenec (a mountain located just 50 m after the junction where the road to Bohinj branches off to the left). In the middle of the mountain pasture, a road branches off the main road to the right, leading to Medvedova konte, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Zajavornik. Turn right here and follow the road to the next crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Medvedova kontra (straight ahead to the Zajavornik mountain). After a short climb, the road descends and leads to the next crossroads, where you continue to the left in the direction of Blejska hut. Follow this road to the parking lot in front of the ramp, no further driving is allowed.
In winter, the road to this starting point is usually not passable.

Path description:
From the parking lot continue along the wide cart track in the route Blejska koča on Lipanca. Follow the wide cart track, over which there is a ramp, to the first left turn. At this bend, leave cart track and continue straight through the forest, following a faint track which will take you to the end of the nearby forest road in less than 5 minutes. The road is reached at a turning point, which is very similar to a roundabout. The circle is in a clockwise direction, and we follow the road to the nearby cart track, which branches off the road to the left (the track is a few metres before you leave the circle). Take the above-mentioned track, which continues along the left side of the nearby Kotel (the Kotel is a larger, mostly unlined hollow in the middle of the woods, where cold air is trapped). The cart track, which descends only slightly, soon ends, and we continue in roughly the same direction.
We continue walking on a trackless path, only occasionally following the remnants of old dirt tracks and paths.
From the point where the track ends, we first descend slightly to the lower edge of the slope (the slopes on the left, the world is less steep to the right), and then we climb steadily to moderately up a series of undistinguished valleys, which are located at the lower edge of the slopes already mentioned. Higher up, the "path" becomes a little steeper, and then it quickly descends to the meadows of Prevala, where it reaches the marked path mountain pasture Klek - Debela peč, or mountain pasture Klek - Blejska koča on Lipanca.
The marked trail reaches the marked crossroads, and we continue straight on in the direction of Debela peč (left Lipanca, right mountain pasture Klek). Further on, the trail begins to climb moderately through an increasingly sparse (mostly) larch forest. Only a little further on we enter a small valley, which we climb up to a place where the markings for Debela peč direct us sharply to the left. The path then becomes lane of dwarf pines, through which we climb to the bottom of the ridge Klečica (the real top of Klečica is more to the right). Just 10 m before the ridge, the waymarked trail turns left and starts to descend crosswise to the south-west. During the descent, we get a beautiful view of the Fat Furnace several times. The path continues for some time crossing slopes covered with dwarf pines, then turns to the right and starts to climb very steeply. After a short climb, you reach the ridge again, from which you have a beautiful view towards Radovna. At the ridge the path turns left and gives way to dwarf pines, through which the path continues to climb very steeply. The path then climbs higher and leads to a scenic and in some places precipitous ridge (the path passes slightly below the ridge, so there is no significant risk of slipping). The path then descends gently and then leads to the upper edge of a V-shaped ravine. Continue on the marked path, which leads us along the ridge Debela peč, which after less than 5 minutes of further walking leads us to a scenic peak.
