Vrbovska Poljana - Bjelolasica (direct way)

Access to the starting point:
Cross the Petrina border crossing and drive to Delnice, where you reach the old Zagreb-Rijeka road. Continue to the right and follow the road towards Mrkopalj. In Mrkopalj, the sign for Begovo - Razdolje (the highest settlement in Croatia) directs you to the right on the ascending road, which soon leads to the village. At the end of the village, you will come to a small crossroads, where you continue on the right-hand road, which soon becomes a macadam road. After a few kilometres, this road leads to the next crossroads, where you turn left in the direction of Bjelolasica (Janjčarica on the right). Continue past the quarry, behind which you will soon see the KPP mountain signs, which direct you upwards to the left. Here we park in a small parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, turn left onto the footpath, which after a moderate climb of just over 10 minutes leads to a worse macadam road, where there is a crossroads. Continue straight ahead towards Bjelolasica (on the left Žuta Poljana) on a path that starts to climb steeply. The already quite steep path leads us a little higher to a crossroads, where we continue to the left in the direction of the summit (shelter on the right). The way forward climbs even steeper and then leads us to the top ridge of Bjelolasice, where the steepness eases. Here, where we reach the crossroads again, we continue left along the top grassy ridge. Follow this increasingly scenic route all the way to the top of Bjelolasica, which is reached after a few minutes of further walking.
