Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a macadam road, by which there are signs for Bohinjska Bela, Stan, Rčitno and Pokljuka. We at first walk by camp Bled and a small stream and then we gradually get closer to railway tracks, and to the other side we come through the underpass. After the underpass, we go left, and at the nearby marked crossing we choose the right path in the direction towards Rčitno (straight Bohinjska Bela). Few strides ahead over the bridge we cross the stream and after the bridge we go right, where we follow the blazes. Next follows a walk through the forest, and we are ascending on a cart track, from which a view opens up on a torrent over which in rainy period a bigger waterfall is falling. Here the path turns a little more to the left and is mostly ascending diagonally. Higher, we once again cross a torrent stream, where during a high water level the crossing is quite difficult, and the path only a little further turns right and it brings us to a shorter panoramic part, from which a nice view opens up, which reaches from Lake Bled to Kamnik Savinja Alps. Next follows traversing towards the right, where blazes for some time vanish, and when the cart track starts ascending we again notice them. When a little higher we reach the macadam road we follow it to the left (right Bled on the road) and there we are moderately ascending. Higher, we go past the trough below crosses, and only a little further from the left joins the path from Bohinjska Bela.
We continue straight in the direction of "Rčitno" and we are still ascending on the macadam road. Further, the road passes into a small valley below Strešno brdo, and when we leave a small valley we pass over on slopes of Gače, from where for some time a view opens up a little on surrounding hills. The path ahead for some time returns into the forest, when we leave it we already reach Rčitno, where there are few cottages.
In the middle of the bottom part of the mountain pasture, we continue left in the direction of Bohinjska Bela and on the road which soon changes into a cart track, in a moderate ascent we ascend on the upper south edge of the mountain pasture, where we continue right (straight Bohinjska Bela) past the cottage in the forest. In the forest, we quickly notice signs for Pokljuka, and we diagonally ascend to a forest road which we follow sharply to the left (slightly to the right continues a marked path towards Pokljuka).
A little further a nice view opens up on Bled lake, and the road further is mostly gently to moderately ascending. When after longer right turn road brings us on a meadow, still before the feeding site we leave it and we continue right on often quite rough cart track. On first crossing of cart tracks we choose the left, and on the second right branch, in both cases wider cart track. When the cart track flattens, slightly left from the cart track we notice a footpath which continues parallel above cart track. Some 10 strides ahead from the right also joins another footpath which from the cart track branches off a little further, and on a footpath which runs through the forest, we continue to a smaller saddle, where we join the other cart track, and there we quickly ascend to a macadam road which we follow to the left. While walking on the road from the left joins the marked path from Bohinjska Bela - path over Slamniki.
Here few steps ahead, only a little before memorial NOB, in the direction of straight or slightly towards the left path on few minutes distant Turn (1249 meters) branches off, and we continue right on a marked path which continues on the road.
At the next crossing, which is located not far away, we leave the road and we continue left in the direction of Galetovec (straight Belska planina).
The path ahead leads us on a pleasant cart track which after few minutes we leave because signs for Galetovec point us to the left, on at first poorly noticeably footpath which descends by the edge of the forest to a smaller valley, where passes into the forest. Through the forest, we follow the blazes and the forest path, on which in few minutes we ascend on a panoramic peak.
The starting point - Rčitno 2:00, Rčitno - Galetovec 1:35.
