Strmec - Debela peč (via Spodnja Brda)

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 junction 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:
Near the parking lot, there are signs for mountain pasture Klek. Take the wide footpath which, after a few minutes, leads you out of the forest onto the wide mountain pasture area, where there are a few shepherds' huts.
From the upper part of mountain pasture, follow mountain pasture down and follow the marked trail that goes into the larch forest on the other side. Continue along the path, which is slightly less visible in places, slightly uphill. After a few minutes of pleasant walking, the path leads to a larger clearing where you reach a marked crossroads.
A direct trail to Debela peč branches off to the right, and we continue to the left, following most of the trail slightly upwards towards Lipance. Follow the path, which occasionally even descends slightly, through a mostly larch forest to the next crossroads.
Here we turn right in the route Debela peč, steeper upwards, Lipanca on the left. After a short climb, the path joins the usual approach to Debela peč from Blejska hut.
Continue right up the increasingly scenic path to the ridge, where a fine view of the highest peaks of the Julian Alps opens up. Here the path turns right and crosses the slopes of Okrogleža. A little further on, the path descends for a short time and leads us to the foot of the last ascent. Here the path ascends and, after a ten-minute walk along the top slope of the mountain, leads us to a scenic peak.
