Šport hotel - Mrežce

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lesce and follow the road in the direction of Bled, where you will be directed to the right at the semaphorised crossroads marked for Pokljuka. Follow this road, which takes you through a few villages in the lower part and then starts to climb steeply, to the Sport Hotel on Pokljuka. Park in a suitable space on the roadside or near the hotel. Only guests are allowed to park in front of the hotel.

Path description:
From the Sport Hotel, follow the road back to the junction with the main road, and then continue your ascent towards Rudni Polje. After about 100 m of walking along the main road, a forest road branches off to the right, leading quickly into a spruce forest. Follow this road, which climbs gently and along which you will see some signs, until it ends at a large turning point. At the end of the road, there is a wide marked cart track, which continues on a moderate ascent. After a short ascent, Cart track lays down and then gradually starts to descend. After a few minutes of descending, you emerge from the forest onto the vast mountain pasture of Zajavornik.
Once on mountain pasture, the trail descends gently for a while and then leads into the heart of mountain pasture, where you can see a number of shepherd's (weekend) cottages. The path then crosses a short strip of wodland, after which it emerges on a dirt road (starting point).
Cross the road, as the markings on Blejska koča direct you to a wide and at first still winding path. The path continues through initially sparse and then increasingly dense forest. Higher up, cross the forest road and the path gradually becomes steeper. Soon merge with the path from the monument (Pri Rupah), then join the wide cart track (starting point Medvedova konta) just a little further on. The ascent continues along cart track, which quickly leads to the lower part of mountain pasture Lipanec. Here we see a sign that we are entering a grazing area, which warns us not to take shortcuts. Continue along the wide path, which takes you past the memorial plaque and leads you in a few minutes to Blejska koča on Lipanca.
From the hut, continue left towards Viševnik and Mrežce along the path, which soon turns left down the path towards Rudni polje. Continue straight ahead and after a short climb a moderately steep path leads to the next crossroads, where you continue right in the direction of Mrežce (straight ahead Viševnik and Mrežce a longer path). The way ahead begins to climb steeply through increasingly sparse forest. Higher up the steepness eases and the path opens up to beautiful views of the highest peaks of the Julian Mountains. Just a little further on we join the already mentioned longer path from the left, and we continue to the right and within a few minutes of further walking we reach the scenic peak of Mrežce.
