Nemilje - Bela peč (Podbliška gora) (via Sleme)

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Kranj, then follow the signs for Besnica (the turnoff from the old Ljubljana - Kranj road is before the bridge over the Sava River, or after the bridge if coming from Kranja). Continue through Spodnja, Zgornja Besnica and Njivica. A little further on, you arrive in Nemilje, where the route described above starts before the bridge over the Nemiljščice. There are no parking spaces at the starting point.
b) From Železniki, drive to Dražgoše, then continue towards Kropa. Cross the slopes of Jelovica, then reach a crossroads where the road to Kranj turns sharp right (the turn-off for Kranj is only from the opposite direction). Here, turn sharp right (if the turn is too sharp, there is a turning point about 50 metres further on), then descend to Podblica and continue to the settlement of Nemilje. Podblica is a short distance from Nemilje. When you reach Nemilje, follow the main road, and after the bridge over the Nemiljščica stream, you will reach a crossroads where a side road branches off to the left. There are no suitable parking spaces at the junction where the route starts.

Path description:
From the bridge over the Nemiljščice River, take a side road that climbs past a few houses and leads us higher under a trestle. After the goat house you reach the "last" house, which you pass on the right, and after it go left onto the narrower, partly grassy cart track, which ascends crosswise and gradually turns into a forest. As you climb through the woods, you reach a small ridge in a few minutes, after which the path turns left and lays down. Continue along and along the ridge, following the cart track, which is marked in several places with fluorescent colours. Further on, cart track becomes steeper again for a while, and with a bit of luck you may even spot some old Knafelč markings along the way. Higher up, cart track is repositioned and a little further on you join the wider cart track leading from the village of Njivica.
The way forward leads us along the gently sloping cart track, which leads us under the ridge Jamnik with the church of St. Primož and Felicijan. After a few minutes of quite scenic crossing, you reach the village Jamnik, through which you continue straight on, or keep slightly left at the crossroads. After leaving the village, you quickly reach the main road Dražgoše - Kropa, which you follow to the left for a few minutes, or until you reach a point where the signs for Bela peč direct you slightly right on the ascending cart track. Cart track soon turns right, and when it makes a left serpentine, the track continues in a straight direction, leading towards Bela Peć. It then climbs through the forest, and a little higher up it crosses the source of the cart track, which we have recently left (it is also possible to get here by following the cart track). The trail, which is marked with pale yellow markings, becomes quite steep further on, and also climbs up a fairly steep slope, so more care is needed in the snow and wet. Higher up, the edge of Jelovica is reached, where the trail flattens out and the slope becomes a plateau. Here the path turns left and a little further on it joins cart track, which is also followed to the left. There is a gentle to occasionally moderate ascent along the path, which mainly passes through dense woodland. A little further on the forest thins out, and the path leads us to the scenic edge of the plateau, from where we have a fine view towards Kamnik Savinja Alps, part of Karawanks, Gorenjska and the surrounding hills. At the lookout point, the path turns slightly to the right and in a few minutes climbs to the lookout Bela peč, from where we have a view of the other side. Njivica - village Jamnik 1:05, village Jamnik - Bela peč 1:20.
