Route 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 we choose the right path towards Rčitno (straight Bohinjska Bela). A few steps ahead we cross the stream over the bridge, after the bridge we go right, following the blazes. Next comes a walk through the forest, while we ascend along a cart track from which a view opens onto the torrent across 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 challenging, the path shortly after 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. Next follows traversing to the right, where the blazes are lost for a while, when the cart track begins to ascend we notice them again. When slightly higher we reach the macadam road we follow it left (right Bled by road), along it we ascend moderately. Higher we pass the trough below Križi, a little further the path from Bohinjska Bela joins from the left.
We continue straight in the direction "Rčitno" and continue ascending along the macadam road. Further 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 cottages 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 cottage into the forest. In the forest we quickly notice signs for Pokljuka, while we ascend transversely 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 the path which ascends transversely across somewhat steeper slopes. Higher we reach the cart track, along which we ascend through a smaller valley, where we soon arrive at a junction by a small cottage. Behind the cottage we continue right and the marked path leads us to the Forestry Cottage Mali Vokel, located at 1145 m above sea level.
We bypass the forestry cottage on the right side, then the 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 cottage.
We bypass the hunting cottage 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 we continue right we can in a minute or two ascend to the top of the ski slope Berjanca, from where a nice view opens reaching all the way to Triglav). Follows a shorter descent, then we cross the forest road and continue along the marked cart track. The cart track soon forks, we choose the upper right path which further ascends through the spruce forest. A few minutes higher from the cart track we go left onto the marked path, which soon begins to descend to the northeastern part of Rečiška planina. Follows walking along Rečiška planina, where we pass some cottages.
