Bled (Velika Zaka) - Grajska planina (Ribšca)

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 go 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, alongside which there are signs for Bohinjska Bela, Stan, Rčitno and Pokljuka. At first we walk alongside Camp Bled and the stream, then gradually approach the railway tracks, crossing to the other side through the underpass. After the underpass we go left, at the nearby marked junction choosing the right path towards Rčitno (straight ahead Bohinjska Bela). A few steps further, over the bridge we cross the stream, after the bridge going 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 level the crossing is quite tricky, 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 disappear for a while, when the cart track begins 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 a path from Bohinjska Bela joins from the left.
We continue straight in the direction "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 transiently some views open onto the surrounding hills. The path ahead transiently 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 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 transversely ascend to the forest road which we follow right (left one can reach Galetovec). Along the road we transiently descend slightly, then signs and blazes direct us left onto a path which transversely climbs over somewhat steeper slopes. Higher we reach a cart track along which we ascend through a small valley, quickly arriving at a junction by a small hut. Past the hut we continue right and the marked path leads us to the Forester's Hut Mali Vokel, located at 1145 m elevation.
We bypass the forester's hut on the right side, then blazes lead us into the forest through which we ascend more steeply. A few minutes higher we cross a macadam road, continuing straight and likewise along the macadam road in some 10 steps we arrive at the hunting hut.
We bypass the hunting hut on the left side and continue walking along a poorer road. When the road turns somewhat right, we continue straight onto the marked cart track, further following the blazes and ascending to the former ski slope Zatrnik, where we begin to descend (if continuing right we can in a minute or two climb to the top of the ski slope Berjanca, from where a nice view opens reaching as far as Triglav). There follows a short descent, then we cross the forest road and continue along the marked cart track. The cart track soon forks, we choosing the upper right path which further ascends through spruce forest. A few minutes higher from the cart track we go left onto the marked path, which soon begins descending to the northeastern part of Rečiška planina. There follows walking across Rečiška planina, passing a few huts.
On the other side of the pasture the path widens into a road, from the nearby junction continuing along the right road from which we soon go left onto the marked path. The path is initially fairly level, then begins moderately descending and lower reaches another road. To the right the marked path continues, while we proceed to the nearby hut on Grajska planina, beside which after rain there is a nice lake.
