Kočna - Kres nad Kočno

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Lipce, where we turn left in the direction of Blejska Dobrava and Spodnje Gorje. Soon after we drive past the railway underpass, we are at the next crossroad, where we turn right - Bled, Kočna. At first, a serpentine road ascends straight towards the west and soon in the left turn reaches the top or settlement Kočna. Our starting point is located on the left side of the road, a few meters before the settlement sign. Because of the continuous line we drive ahead past the first houses, where on the right we notice a bus stop. Here we turn around and return, almost to the turn before we would descend back into the valley. We stop on a macadam parking lot.

Path description:
From the spot where we have parked, we first carefully cross the road and on the other side return about 20 m towards the valley. Here we notice a green sign with the caption "pohodniška pot 6", where in the direction it indicates we continue into the forest. Here we turn right, and soon run into the first blaze, which directs us left uphill onto an indistinct ridge. The path ascends a little steeper, and soon turns even more to the left towards the south and thereby flattens. For a short time the path even descends a little, then turns right uphill and thereafter to the left over rocks. From here onwards the path first brings us out of the forest for a short time and then back into a mostly deciduous forest, where it ascends moderately. After a good 20 min of walking from the starting point, along the path we run into a smaller sign with the caption "Baba 5 min", where we turn right, and after a few minutes of crossing the slope arrive near Poljanska Baba, where we can enjoy the view.
We continue from behind Poljanska Baba slightly to the right (north-west direction) along the slope. The almost unnoticeable path first descends for a few meters, and then for a short time crosses the slope at unchanged elevation. Here we run into obstacles in the form of abundant fallen trees. Near the fairly wide gully the path descends a little more towards it and crosses it. If we have so far somehow managed to detect the path, we will be able to follow it only a few more meters out of the gully, where it ascends a quite steep forested, partly grass-covered slope. While ascending this pathless section we direct ourselves slightly to the right towards the top of the forest ridge, which we see in front of us. With a little luck towards the top we may again run into remnants of the path and step onto the ridge, where a somewhat more noticeable path reappears. We turn right and along the increasingly rocky ridge head east, where in a few minutes we reach the trail's goal - the viewpoint Kres nad Kočno. A few meters below the summit, looking in the direction of the settlement, we also notice a landmark - a wooden cross.
