Kupljenik - Planina Prihod

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Lesce, then continue driving towards Bled and further towards Bohinj. When Bled ends, first the road towards Bohinjska Bela branches off to the right, approximately 1.5 km ahead, at the top of the hill the road towards the village Kupljenik branches off to the left. We continue towards Kupljenik and continue driving on the ascending asphalt road, which we follow to the mentioned settlement. In the settlement, otherwise on the part where there are no houses, we arrive at the left hairpin turn, in the middle of which a short road to the marked parking lot branches off to the right.
B) First, we drive to Podbrdo and from there to Bohinjska Bistrica (with the car shuttle train or over Soriška planina). From Bohinjska Bistrica, we continue driving towards Bled. Before we arrive at Bled, we will come to a crossroads where the road towards the village Kupljenik branches off to the right (the turn-off from the main road is marked). We continue towards Kupljenik and continue driving on the ascending asphalt road, which we follow to the mentioned settlement. In the settlement, otherwise on the part where there are no houses, we arrive at the left hairpin turn, in the middle of which a short road to the marked parking lot branches off to the right.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot, we continue on a worse road in the direction of the cave Jama pod Babjim zobom and Babji zob. The road first leads us along the edge of the pasture, from where a nice view temporarily opens up, reaching all the way to the highest peaks of the Karawanks, then after the left turn, where we notice the hiking signposts, it gradually passes into the forest. We walk on the road for a few minutes, then at a relatively new crossroads of macadam roads we continue slightly to the left (at the time of the description the junction was not marked) on a cart track, which after a few meters turns even more to the left (straight to the cave Jama pod Babjim zobom). There follows an ascent through the forest, a few minutes higher the cart track brings us to a scenic hay meadow, where a wooden hut is located along its lower edge, and a nice view opens up towards Lake Bled and part of the Karawanks around Golica. The cart track brings us just a little higher to another hay meadow, where the signs lead us to the right onto an at first less noticeable path that passes into the forest. When we step into the forest, the path becomes easy to follow, and it begins to ascend more steeply. A few minutes higher we cross a new, not yet fully completed forest road, above which the marked path ascends quite steeply through the forest. When the path turns right, it levels out somewhat, then ascends diagonally to the right across increasingly steep slopes. Higher up the slope becomes even steeper, but the path is relatively wide, so the crossing does not cause major difficulties, though in wet conditions, snow or leaves more caution is needed, especially on the descent. When the path bypasses some rocky towers it turns left, passes into a small valley, and a few steps further also out of the forest onto Planina Prihod, which has just the right name, as we have arrived at the edge of Jelovica.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2015 (April).
