Brezje pri Tržiču - Lešanska planina (by road)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road ahead towards Tržič. Just before the gas station at Tržič, turn right (direction Tržič) and then immediately left (direction Begunje) and drive further to the village Brezje pri Tržiču, where we park in a suitable place near the church.

Route description:
From the church of St. Neža we continue for another 10 steps or so along the road towards Begunje, then the signs for Dobrča direct us to the right onto a somewhat narrower road, along which we quickly arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Lešanska and Bistriška planina (left the usual footpath to Dobrča). We continue for a few minutes along the relatively steep asphalt road, then we arrive at the scree slope where the asphalt ends. At the place where the asphalt ends there is a nice viewpoint, from which a beautiful view opens towards Kriška gora and part of Gorenjska. Beyond the viewpoint the road enters the forest, then ascends gently to moderately all the way to Bistriška planina, which is located somewhat to the right of the road.
From Bistriška planina we continue along the road, which ascends through the forest and then takes us to Breška planina, where there is a hunter's hut.
We continue along the road, which returns to the forest, which then gradually begins to ascend more steeply. Higher up we reach a marked junction, where a marked footpath from Brezje pri Tržiču joins from the left, and we continue sharply right along the gradually ever steeper cart track. This is followed by about 20 minutes of walking along the said cart track, then the path takes us out of the forest onto the lower part of Lešanska planina. We continue upwards across the mountain pasture, where we soon arrive at the shepherd's hut on the said mountain pasture.
