Bled (Velika Zaka) - Turn (above Bohinjska Bela)

Access to starting point:
A) We leave the Gorenjska motorway 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 we park on a paid parking lot by the edge of the camp. 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 we park on a paid parking lot by the edge of the camp. 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 beside Camp Bled and the stream, then gradually approach the railway line, 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 ahead Bohinjska Bela). A few steps further, over the bridge we cross the stream, after the bridge we go right, following the blazes. There follows walking 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 ascends mostly transversely. Higher up we cross the torrent stream again, where at high water levels the crossing is quite difficult; the path shortly afterwards turns right and leads us to a short panoramic section from which a nice view opens, reaching from Lake Bled to the Kamnik Savinja Alps. There follows traversing to the right, where the blazes are lost for a while, but when the cart track begins to ascend we notice them again. When somewhat higher we reach the macadam road, we follow it left (right to Bled by road), ascending moderately along it. 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 some views of the surrounding hills open up temporarily. The path ahead temporarily returns to the forest; when we leave it we reach Rčitno, where a few huts stand.
In the middle of the lower part of the pasture we continue left towards Bohinjska Bela along the road, which soon turns into a cart track, ascending moderately 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, and the road further on mainly ascends gently to moderately. When the road brings us onto a meadow after a longer right bend, we leave it still before the feeding trough and continue right onto an 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 rut, levels out, slightly left of the cart track we notice a path that continues parallel above the cart track. Some 10 steps further another path joins from the right, which branches off the cart track a little further on; we continue along the path through the forest to a smaller saddle, 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 Slamnike - joins from the left. Here a few steps further, just a little before the NOB marker, the path towards Turn branches off straight ahead or slightly to the left (further along the road to Galetovec and Belska planina). When we leave the road the path turns slightly to the left, then quickly goes onto the ridge, along which in a few 10 steps of further walking we ascend to the panoramic Turn.
