Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then we continue driving towards Rateče. When we arrive at the roundabout near Rateče, we take the exit in the direction of Planica. A short ascent follows and we arrive at the large parking lot by the Nordic Center Planica, where we park on the paid parking lot. The price for personal vehicles is 2.5 EUR / day (September 2019).
B) Over the border crossing Rateče we drive into Slovenia, then we soon turn right towards Planica. A short ascent follows and we arrive at the large parking lot by the Nordic Center Planica, where we park on the paid parking lot. The price for personal vehicles is 2.5 EUR / day (September 2019).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the foot of the ski flying hill, where we start ascending the stairs (not the metal ones).
(In case the path on the stairs is closed, we ascend to the jump-off platform on the macadam road that starts before the first ski jumping hills.)
A steep ascent follows on the right side of the ski flying hill; at the RTV tower the path turns slightly to the right and transitionally enters the forest. A little higher we arrive at a macadam road, which we follow to the left (up to here it is also possible by the road that starts before the ski jumps), along which we quickly arrive at the jump-off platform of the ski flying hill.
Here below the jump-off platform we cross to the other side of the ski flying hill and again start ascending the wooden stairs. After a few minutes of further steep ascent we arrive at the top of the takeoff ramp, from where a nice view opens up on the ski flying hill and Planica below us.
From the top of the takeoff ramp, which we can also reach by chairlift, we continue on the wide path, along which we ascend diagonally to the right to the road that leads from Rateče.
When we reach the mentioned road we follow it to the left, along which we walk for a few more minutes or to the place where it starts descending towards Beli potok.
On the mentioned section there is a smaller junction, from which we continue slightly to the right onto the cart track ascending parallel to the torrent gully of Beli potok. At the nearby junction we go straight ahead; when the cart track ends we go left onto the trodden path, beside which there is a small cairn, and on the tree we also notice a red arrow. A traversing ascent to the left follows, where we cross several torrents, including the main bed of Beli potok. When the path levels out, some more crossings follow, then we join the hunting path that starts a little further from the ski jumping hills in Planica.
Here we continue sharply to the right and first still cross some gullies, then along the gully descending from Glave we start steeply ascending in numerous zigzags. Higher we arrive in a smaller cirque, where the path temporarily levels out; after some tens of steps it turns left and ascends to the next junction, from which we continue left (right Vratica, Belopeška lakes and Mala Ponca).
Some easy walking follows, then the path completely flattens and turns slightly to the right. At this point we leave the Planica - Pokljuka path and continue left on the poorer narrow path that starts ascending towards the summit of Glave (on some maps Ovčja stran). We follow this increasingly faint narrow path to the summit a few minutes away, from which a nice view opens up.
