Podkorita - Bitenjska planina

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we take the Lesce exit, then continue driving towards Bled and Bohinjska Bistrica. When we arrive in the municipality of Bohinj, we slowly become attentive to the left turn-off. Just before the main road crosses the bridge over the Sava Bohinjka river, we continue slightly left onto a macadam road, which continues parallel to the river. From the main road, we drive another 2100 m on the macadam road, then park at a suitable spot beside the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road, which already immediately leads us over two successive streamlets and a smaller wooden cottage that we notice on the left side. A little further ahead, or immediately after the small bridge, we arrive at a small junction where a short road branches off to the left towards the nearby bee house. We continue towards the bee house (straight to waterfall Grmečica and Nomenj, the right road ends on the nearby meadows) and behind it straight into a belt of bushes, where we first notice a faint path that only a few meters higher becomes more distinct. The path ahead leads us over a short scree field, where it turns right and transitions onto an old cart track. We then ascend along the cart track, following it to the right at two less noticeable junctions. The cart track then veers slightly to the right and brings us to a small valley, where it almost completely disappears. We continue a few steps along the valley or a sort of wide gully, then the path leads us left onto the slopes, where the cart track becomes distinct again. A little higher, we cross a forest road, and above it the path first ascends through a belt of bushes before entering the forest, through which it begins to ascend more steeply. Higher up, there are again a few almost unnoticeable junctions, and we follow the "main" path, which brings us higher to a more rocky cart track partly overgrown with high grass. Here we continue left, and then after a few meters, upon reaching a small valley, right onto a gently sloping cart track, along which we ascend to the nearby macadam road. We follow the road to the right, then after some 10 meters at a small right bend, slightly left onto the cart track, along which we ascend to the lower part of Bitenjska planina mountain pasture. When we step out of the forest, we continue slightly left, and after a short ascent we already see the first cottages on the pasture, to which we walk across an increasingly panoramic meadow.
