Mojstrana - Risnati rob (Polevec) (via slope Na tnalu)

Access to the starting point:
Drive to Mojstrana and follow the signs for the ski slope at the foot of which you park in a marked gravel parking lot. The ski slope is located near the Church of St. Clement.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the foot of the ski slope, initially walk along the asphalt road, and at the crossroads follow the signs for the Radovna, Kot and Krma valleys. When Mojstrana ends, take the first cart track to the left, which turns right into the lane of the forest. At the edge of the hay meadow, which is reached quickly, go left, then before reaching the ski slope, right on the path which continues through the forest. A little further on, crossing the gravel of a torrent, where the track is temporarily lost, but becomes clearly visible again on the other side. When the track approaches the torrent, leave it and follow the remains of a track that runs along the left side of the torrent, which leads us a little further into the torrent. Climb up the stream for a short distance, watching out for unstable rocks, and leave the stream at the larger rock (Fig. 21) and continue up the stream to the right, where a traceable but poorly beaten path quickly appears and begins to climb steeply. Initially climb up a wooded slope, which becomes an indistinct gully higher up, and follow it up to a ridge where the track dips and turns slightly left. There are a few minutes of walking along the ridge, and at a bench overlooking Kepa, you join the usual marked path.

From the bench, continue along the marked path, which climbs steeply up the north-western slopes of Mežakla. Higher up, the slope becomes quite steep, so there is a risk of slipping in places, especially in wet weather. The steep climb reaches an altitude of approximately 1300 metres, and then the path becomes steeper and leads to the edge of the Mažakla plateau, where the marked path leaves at the NOB memorial.
After the monument, turn right onto the trackless road, where you will quickly reach the crest of the Great Wall. The ridge climbs steeply at first, but higher up it lays down and we continue along the older logging trail. We continue to follow the ridge, where we can enjoy a beautiful view of the Julian Alps from the occasional piers. Risnati rob or Polevec is reached after a few minutes of further walking and can be identified by a marked stone.
