Strmec - Debela peč

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 in the lower part takes us through a few villages and later starts to climb steeply, to Mrzle Studenec (a mountain located just 50m after the junction where the road to Bohinj branches off to the left). In the middle of the mountain pasture the main road branches off to the right, leading to Medvedova konte, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Javornik. Turn right here and follow the road to the next crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Medvedova konte (straight ahead Javornik mountain). The road continues downhill after a short climb and leads to the next crossroads, where you continue perpendicularly to the left. Then turn right at the first right fork. Soon another road branches off sharp right, here go straight ahead and only about 100m after that at a junction turn sharp right. Now drive for about 3km to the first turning to the left. Turn left here and drive to the parking lot, where signs direct you to mountain pasture Klek. Park in the small parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, go back a few metres and then follow the footpath in the direction of Lipance, Kleka and Debela peč. The trail continues along cart track, which leads past a watering point for animals to the first shepherd's huts at mountain pasture Klek. From these huts, a fine view opens up across the whole of mountain pasture, and we continue slightly to the right and descend crosswise to the second part of mountain pasture, where there are a few more shepherd's huts.
We continue along a path which is not very visible and which, after a further 10 steps, turns into a larch forest. Here the path becomes clearer again and we follow it in the direction of Lipanka. There are a few short ascents and descents, along a sometimes again less visible path. After about 30 minutes of walking from mountain pasture Klek, we will come to a marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Debela peč (slightly to the left Lipanca and Debela peč past Spodnje Brdje). At the crossroads, the trail is completely lost for a short time, but if we continue in the direction as the direction sign indicates, we will find it quickly. Further on, the path begins to climb moderately through an increasingly sparse (mostly) larch forest. Only a little further on we enter a small valley, which we climb up to the place where the signs for Debela peč direct us sharply to the left. The path then turns into the dwarf pines zone, through which we climb below the ridge Klečica (the true top of Klečica is located further to the right). Just 10 m before the ridge, the marked path turns left and starts to descend crosswise to the south-west. During the descent, we get a beautiful view of the Fat Furnace several times. The path continues for some time crossing slopes covered with dwarf pines, then turns to the right and starts to climb very steeply. After a short climb, you reach the ridge again, from which you have a beautiful view towards Radovna.
On the ridge, the path turns left and gives way to dwarf pines, through which the path continues to climb very steeply. The path is higher and leads to a scenic and in some places precipitous ridge (the path passes slightly below the ridge, so there is no significant risk of slipping). The path continues to descend gently and then leads to the upper edge of a V-shaped ravine. Continue on the marked path, which leads us along the ridge Debela peč, which after less than 5 minutes of further walking leads us to a scenic peak.
