Planina Smrečica (Poglajnov rovt) - Turn (above Bohinjska Bela)

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 to the left (i.e. at the road sign between 5.5 km and 6.0 km), then we drive another few hundred meters to the first major right bend. Behind the bend, the road which descends to the mountain pasture Smrečica branches off to the left, and we park only a little further on a suitable spot by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road which gently ascends, after a longer left turn, 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 also cross the route of the former ski lift Berjanca and a little further the ski slope Berjanca, and a little further a view opens up towards the Karawanks. After the transitional panoramic section we reach the marked path Bled (Zaka) - Pokljuka, which we quickly leave as we continue on the macadam road.
From the junction onwards the road mostly gently to occasionally moderately ascends, and after some time the marked path from Bohinjska Bela - path over Slamnike joins from the left. Here a few steps further, just a little before the NOB memorial, in the straight ahead or slightly left direction the path to Turn branches off (further along the road to Galetovec and Belska planina). When we leave the road the path turns slightly to the left, then quickly transitions to the ridge, along which in a few dozen steps of further walking we ascend to the panoramic Turn.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in 2017 (May).

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
