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 come to a slightly larger crossroads where the road branches off to the right 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 come to a left turn where the starting point of the route towards mountain pasture Suha, Rodica and Šija is located. From here, continue along the road leading to the Kobla ski resort for about 1 km, then at the crossroads continue along the upper right road for about 1800 m, or until you see a small cairn on the right and the start of the hunting trail to mountain pasture Poljana (the start of the trail is about 200 m before the end of the road). You can park a little earlier at a suitable place along the road.
From the main road to the starting point is about 9. 3 km of macadam.
Path description:
From where we parked, we first walk to the smaller cairn, where the hunting trail starts, leading to mountain pasture Poljana. As soon as you leave the road, the path goes into the forest and turns left. The trail continues to climb moderately through the forest, mostly crossing the slopes to the left. Higher up, the path transitions and then climbs steeply through sparse lane of bushes, from where a fine view opens up to the north and north-east. Above the steep part, the path lays down and turns slightly to the right, where it begins to descend towards where the path joins the path past the hunting lodge. Continue straight on here and in 2 minutes of gentle ascent you reach mountain pasture Poljana.
From the shepherd's huts, continue along the right-hand side of mountain pasture, and we walk along the edge of mountain pasture to where a well-traced track branches off to the right and begins to climb through the dwarf pines zone. After a short climb, the path turns sharply to the right, and then after a good 10 minutes of further walking leads us to a less visible crossroads, where a path (later a trackless path) branches off to the left towards Raskovec. Continue along the wider right path, which is slightly further on, and then leads us in a moderate ascent to the prevala south of Gradovec (1692 m).
On this pass there is usually a cairn sign pointing to the right onto a cut path which continues through the dwarf pines zone. 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.
Starting point - mountain pasture Poljana 55 minutes, mountain pasture Poljana - Gradovec 40 minutes.
