Brezje - Galetovec

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. 1 km after Bled we come to the junction, where we turn right towards Bohinjska Bela. We follow this road only a short time because only a little behind the church the road branches off to the right to Brezje (Brezje above Bohinjska Bela). We park on the parking lot by the road at the end of the village.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which a little higher brings us to a junction, where we continue right. The road, which runs through the forest, brings us higher to the lower slopes of Slamniki. Here we first bypass the cottage on the left side, and then the path brings us to a junction, where we continue left in the direction of Galetovec and Slamniki. The path ahead crosses a strip of forest and then brings us to the panoramic slope of Slamniki on which some houses stand. The road then goes into the forest and brings us to a poorer junction, where we continue right. We soon leave this road because poorly visible blazes direct us left into the forest. Further on, we ascend quite steeply along the ruined path (fallen trees) through the forest. When the path passes from deciduous to coniferous forest, the fallen trees also end. The ascent ahead is much easier than among the fallen trees. A little higher, the path brings us to a forest road, which we follow to the left. After a few minutes of walking along the road, we come to a junction, where we continue sharply left in the direction of Galetovec. We leave the road we are walking on at the spot where the signs for Galetovec direct us left across the meadow, first downhill then uphill. The path then goes into the forest, where it runs all the way to the last meters below the summit from which a beautiful view opens up.
