Access to the starting point:
From Bled or Jesenice, drive to Zatrnik, then continue to Pokljuka. After Zatrnik, take the first carriageway to the left (i. e. at the road sign between 5. 5 km and 6. 0 km), then drive for another 100 m to the first major right turn. After the bend, a road branches off to the left, going down to mountain pasture Smrečica, and we park just a little further on in a convenient roadside parking space.
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the macadam road, which climbs gently, but after a long left turn, where you also leave the route of the former Zatrnik ski slope, the road stops climbing and occasionally drops a little further. Walking along the road, we then cross the route of the former lift Berjanca and a little further on the Berjanca ski slope, and a little further on we get some views towards the Karavanke Mountains. After the transitional part of the view, we reach the marked trail Bled (Zaka) - Pokljuka, which we quickly leave as we continue along the dirt road.
From the crossroads onwards, the road climbs mostly zložno to occasionally moderately, and after a while we are joined on the left by the marked path from Bohinjska Bela - the path over Slamnike. Here, a few steps further on, just before the NOB memorial, in the route straight ahead or slightly to the left, the path branches off to Turn (1249 m), a few minutes away, and we continue to the right along the marked path, which continues along the road.
At the next crossroads, which is not far away, leave the road and follow the path to the left in the direction of Galetovec (straight Belska mountain pasture).
The way forward leads us along the pleasant cart track, which we leave after a few minutes, as the signs for Galetovec direct us to the left, on an initially less visible path which descends along the edge of the forest to a small valley, where it turns into a forest. Through the forest, follow the markings and the forest path, which will take you up to a scenic peak in a few minutes.
