Ravne - Planina Zgornji Kozjek

Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Jesenice East (Lipce), then follow signs for Spodnje Gorje and Pokljuka. Continue through Kočna, then arrive at Spodnje Gorje, where you first cross the Rečica stream, and a little beyond the stream, turn right towards Zgornje Laze. Continue along the narrower road that leads through the settlement, and when the settlement Zgornje Laze ends, take the second turning to the right in a small valley where the road turns semicircularly to the left and where there are several crossroads. Further on, start climbing towards the Mežakle plateau, and when the road levels off, pass mountain pasture Strmole and mountain pasture Ravne. At the end of mountain pasture Ravne, continue straight on (to the left, the home of the University of Ljubljana) and start climbing again more visibly. Once on the north-western slopes of Oblek Peak, cart track branches off to the left, leading to the nearby mountain pasture Spodnji Kozjek, and we continue along the wider macadam road, which leads us a little further to a crossroads with a marked parking area (sign P on the TNP pole), and we continue along the wider road, which gradually turns into a more flatter world. There are a few more junctions where you follow the wider road, and then park at the next marked parking lot in a suitable place.

b) Take the Bled, then continue driving towards Pokljuka. Towards the end of the settlement Cirque, leave the main road towards Pokljuka and continue driving downhill to the right in the direction of Radovna, Krma and Mojstrana. After a short descent, cross the river Radovna over a bridge and turn right after the bridge in the direction of Perniki and Zgornje Laz. Continue through Spodnje Laze, and when the settlement ends, the road turns right in a small valley and where there are several crossroads, take the second left. Further on, start climbing towards the Mežakle plateau, and when the road levels off, pass mountain pasture Strmole and mountain pasture Ravne. At the end of mountain pasture Ravne, continue straight on (to the left, the home of the University of Ljubljana) and start climbing again more visibly. Once on the north-western slopes of Oblek Peak, cart track branches off to the left, leading to the nearby mountain pasture Spodnji Kozjek, and we continue along the wider macadam road, which leads us a little further to a crossroads with a marked parking area (sign P on the TNP pole), and we continue along the wider road, which gradually turns into a more flatter world. There are a few more junctions where you follow the wider road, and then park at the next marked parking lot in a suitable place.

Path description:
From the starting point, where cart track turns off to the left, continue along the ascending asphalt road, which quickly leads to a green ramp and a TNP pole with prohibitions and a notice that you are entering a bear area. A few minutes higher, you reach a crossroads, where you continue to the left (the road straight ahead goes in a semicircle around mountain pasture Zgornji Kozjek and above it merges with the road going left, the road going right ends after a while in the woods).
The way ahead is along a dirt road, from which the road soon branches off to the right into cart track towards the lower part of mountain pasture Zgornji Kozjek. Continue to the right (if you continue straight on you will arrive directly at the upper part of mountain pasture) where cart track quickly leads to the lower part of mountain pasture Zgornji Kozjek. Once on mountain pasture, cart track ends, and we continue along the edge of mountain pasture, following it all the way to the top of mountain pasture, where another hut stands and where there are some ruins.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2019 (December).
