Bled (Velika Zaka) - Belska planina

Access to starting point:
A) We leave the Gorenjska highway at the Lesce exit, then follow the signs for Bled and Bohinj. A little before the end of Bled we leave the main road towards Bohinj and continue slightly right in the direction of the camp. After approximately 1.5 km of additional driving we arrive at camp Bled, where at the edge of the camp we park on a paid parking lot. The parking price is 3 eur/h (November 2019).
B) We drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Bled. At the beginning of Bled we turn left in the direction of camp Bled. After approximately 1.5 km of additional driving we arrive at camp Bled, where at the edge of the camp we park on a paid parking lot. The parking price is 3 eur/h (November 2019).

Path description:
From the starting point we head onto a macadam road, along which there are signs for Bohinjska Bela, Stan, Rčitno and Pokljuka. At first we walk along camp Bled and the stream, then gradually approach the railway line, and cross to the other side through the underpass. After the underpass we go left, at the nearby marked junction we choose the right path towards Rčitno (straight Bohinjska Bela). A few steps further we cross the stream over the bridge, after the bridge we go right, where we follow the blazes. There follows a walk through the forest, while we ascend along a cart track from which a view opens onto the torrent over which in rainy periods a larger waterfall falls. Here the path turns somewhat more to the left and mostly ascends transversely. Higher up we cross the torrent stream again, where at high water levels the crossing is quite challenging, the path shortly afterwards turns right and leads us to a shorter panoramic section from which a nice view opens, reaching from Lake Bled to the Kamnik Savinja Alps. There follows a traverse to the right, where the blazes are lost for a while, when the cart track starts to ascend we notice them again. When somewhat higher we reach the macadam road we follow it left (right Bled by road) along which we ascend moderately. Higher we pass the trough below Križi, only a little further the path from Bohinjska Bela joins from the left.
We continue straight in the direction of "Rčitno" and continue ascending along the macadam road. Further on the road enters a valley below Strešno brdo, when we leave the valley we move onto the slopes of Gač, from where some views open transiently onto the surrounding hills. The path ahead temporarily returns to the forest, when we leave it we already reach Rčitno, where a few huts stand.
In the middle of the lower part of the pasture we continue left in the direction of Bohinjska Bela and along the road which soon turns into a cart track, in a moderate ascent we climb to the upper southern edge of the pasture, where we continue right (straight Bohinjska Bela) past the hut into the forest. In the forest we quickly notice signs for Pokljuka, while we ascend transversely to the forest road which we follow sharply left (slightly right continues the marked path towards Pokljuka).
A little further a nice view opens onto Lake Bled, the road further on mainly ascends gently to moderately. When the road brings us to the meadow after a longer right bend, we leave it still before the feeding trough and continue right onto the often quite rutted cart track. At the first junction of cart tracks we choose the left one, at the second the right branch, in both cases the wider cart track. When the cart track, or logging trail, levels out, slightly left of the cart track we notice a path that continues parallel above the cart track. A few 10 steps further another path joins from the right which branches off the cart track somewhat further on, we continue along the path running through the forest to a smaller pass where we join another cart track, along which we quickly ascend to the macadam road which we follow left. While walking along the road the marked path from Bohinjska Bela - path over Slamniki - joins from the left. Here a few steps further, just a little before the NOB memorial, in the straight or slightly left direction a path branches off to the few minutes distant Turn (1249 m), we continue right along the marked path which continues along the road. After a short descent we arrive at the next junction where the path to Galetovec branches left, we continue straight and after a few minutes of further walking along the road we arrive at Belska planina.
