Kočna - Spominsko obeležje Aleš Kunaver

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

Path description:
From the starting point, we go back on the road towards the settlement. After 250 meters, few meters before the bus stop on the right we go on a narrower side asphalt road on our left, which takes us past few houses uphill. When after the left turn road flattens and loses an asphalt pavement, it brings us on a larger meadow. We continue on a cart track which at first sticks slightly to the left and by the edge of the forest ascends a little past the pasture on the right. Quite soon we find ourselves on the saddle between two peaks - Žerjavec and Vrše, where there is a crossing. Here we go right, namely on other, gentle forest path, which crosses northern slope of the hill Vrše (first is ascending towards the top of the hill). After few minutes walk on a wide and gentle forest path we come near the boulder on the left. About 10 meters before it, by crossing of the stream we run into small, less noticeable turn-off to the left, on which we go. From here footpath leads past two large rocks on occasionally steep slope downwards, for about 50 altitude meters. After few minutes of descent, we run into wider forest path, which crosses a slope, on which we walk only few meters to the right. Relatively quickly on one of the trees we notice a signpost with the caption memorial plaque Aleš Kunaver, which pointing left, on a poorly noticeably footpath past a cairn. After about 50 meters of walking in the direction of west we run into a rock with memorial plaque in the middle of the forest.
