Koroška Bela - Potoška planina (via Spodnji rovti)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce (Jesenice vzhod) and we drive right, towards Jesenice. At the first traffic light crossroad (Slovenski Javornik) we turn right in the direction of Lj. Next follows the second crossroad with traffic lights, where we turn left and drive through the railway underpass. At the next smaller crossroad we go right towards Koroška Bela. At the chapel on the left we follow the signs "cerkev, park talcev" and we turn left. The road higher, behind the double turn brings us in the center of the village, where there stands a chapel. From here we continue driving straight to a bridge over the stream Bela on the right, which we cross, and we continue straight, on a narrow road among houses (appearance of a yard). After this when a little higher road flattens, it brings us to a smaller parking lot below the slopes on the left, by which we run into a marked path in the forest.

Path description:
After few meters in the forest, we step on a cart track which turns left and it ascends steeper uphill to a well, where we step on other cart track, and we turn right. The marked path which leads us in the direction of east is at first only occasionally ascending, a little steeper only after, a little higher turns left and for a short time gets a stone ground. When light steepness decreases, we continue right, on part of an unmarked path, which soon after this turns slightly left, at the same time also some view opens up to the valley. A little higher, the marked path turns slightly right, back in the forest, where on and by a cart track leads in the direction of east for quite some time. When the path starts getting the appearance of forest road, on a plain we cross a stream Sevnik. A little higher, after the left turn follows a crossing: first right - path on Ajdna (a sign), second right - continuation of the marked path towards the mountain hut Valvasorjev dom (marked), straight - Spodnji Rovti (unmarked). Here we leave the marked path and we continue straight uphill, on a cart track by the stream on the left. When higher we run into forest cart track, we leave our path and go left towards the little house, which we notice there. Before it on a bridge we cross the stream and we continue for few meters straight, to hayloft on the left. Here we turn right, on a grassy slope of Spodnji Rovti, where less noticeable path leads uphill. Here on a nice mogul meadows now with every step we have better view back towards the valley and Julian Alps. At the top of wide grassy slopes path again runs back in the forest, where after crossing the stream turns at first slightly left and it ascends steeper. A little higher our path crosses a shorter cart track and after this turns only slightly right, and soon also brings us to the south edge of the mountain pasture, where (if necessary) we cross a grazing fence. From here further a short time we walk on the path by the forest edge on the right. We soon step on ample grassy slopes of Potoška planina, a little higher for the last time we cross a grazing fence, and by a small stream we continue to the shepherd hut on the mountain pasture Potoška planina.
