Zatrnik - Turn (above Bohinjska Bela)

Access to the starting point:
a) Take the Bled, then continue driving in the direction of Pokljuka. When you arrive at Zatrnik, do not park in the parking lot next to the Zatrnik Inn, but about 100 metres further on in the parking lot on the right side of the road. Parking in the parking lot in front of the inn is only allowed for guests of Inn Zatrnik (Pr Jagru).
b) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Lipce, then follow the signs for Kočna and later Spodnje Gorje. At Spodnje Gorje join the road from Bled, and we continue in the direction of Pokljuka. When you arrive at Zatrnik, park not in the parking lot next to the Inn Zatrnik, but about 100 metres further on in the parking lot on the right side of the road. Parking in the parking lot in front of the inn is only allowed for guests of the Zatrnik Inn (pr Jagru).

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the main road down to the parking lot next to the Jagru Inn, and we find the start of the trail in a small valley, where there are two children's ski lifts in winter. Continue along the Bambi ski slope (right-hand lift) and then, when the lift ends, continue uphill along the route of the former ski slope. The route continues along the ski slope, which turns increasingly to the left as you go higher up. Soon a steep ski slope branches off to the left, and we continue along a steeper right-hand ski slope. As the route of the former ski slope is further laid, a track branches off to the right, descending through a narrow lane of woodland, and then leading to a marshy meadow. Continue across the meadow to a nearby hut, where you will emerge onto a wider cart track.
From the hut, continue left into the woods and follow cart track across to a dirt road, which you follow to the right. The road descends gently at first, then continues with a few short ascents and descents, crossing the route of the marked trail Bled (Zaka) - Pokljuka as you walk along the road.
A little further on, we get a nice view of Lake Bled, and the road continues to climb mainly gently to moderately. After a long right turn, the road leads to a meadow, but before the feeding station, we leave it and continue to the right on the often quite rugged cart track. At the first fork in the track, take the left-hand track, and at the second, the right-hand track, in both cases the wider track. When the track, or logging trail, is laid, a small path is seen to the left of cart track, which continues parallel above the track. A few 10 paces further on, another track joins from the right, which branches off slightly further with cart track, and we continue along the track through the forest to a small pass, where we join another track, which we follow quickly up to a dirt road, which we follow to the left. As you walk along the road, the marked path from Bohinjska Bela - the path over the Slamnike - joins from the left. Here, a few steps further on, just before the NOB memorial, in a direction straight ahead or slightly to the left, the path to Turno branches off (continue along the road Galetovec and Belska mountain pasture). When you leave the road, the path turns slightly to the left, then quickly passes onto a ridge, which you climb in a few 10 steps further walking to the scenic Turno. Description and figures refer to the situation in 2017 (May).
