Planina Smrečica (Poglajnov rovt) - Rečiška planina

Access to starting point:
From Bled or Jesenice we drive to Zatrnik, then we continue driving towards Pokljuka. After Zatrnik we turn onto the first road on the left (i.e. at the road marker between 5.5 km and 6.0 km), then we drive another few hundred meters to the first major right bend. After the bend a road branches off to the left which descends to the mountain pasture Smrečica, and we park just a little further on a suitable place by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road which gently ascends, after a longer left bend, where we also leave the route of the former ski slope of the Zatrnik ski area, the road stops ascending, and occasionally further it also descends a little. While walking on the road, we then cross the route of the former ski lift Berjanca and a little further the ski slope Berjanca, and a little further some view opens towards the Karawanks. After the transitional panoramic section we reach the marked path Bled (Zaka) - Pokljuka, and we continue right on the cart track to the nearby hunting cottage.
We bypass the hunting cottage on the left side and continue walking on a worse road. When the road turns a little to the right, we continue straight on the marked cart track, further we follow the blazes and ascend to the former Zatrnik ski slope, where we start descending (if we continue right we can in a minute or two ascend to the top of the Berjanca ski slope, from where a nice view opens, reaching all the way to Triglav). A shorter descent follows, then we cross the forest road and continue on the marked cart track. The cart track soon splits, and we choose the upper right path, which further ascends through the spruce forest. A few minutes higher we go left from the cart track onto the marked path, which soon starts descending to the northeastern part of the Rečiška planina mountain pasture. Walking on the Rečiška planina follows, where we pass a few cottages.
