Planina Zajavornik - Brda (east path)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road in the direction of Bled; there, at the traffic-light intersection, signs for Pokljuka direct us to the right. We follow this road, which in the lower part runs through a few villages and later starts to ascend more steeply, to Mrzlega Studenca (mountain pasture located more than 50 meters behind the crossroad where the road to Bohinj branches off to the left downwards). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture, the road which runs to Medvedova konta, monument Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik branches off to the right from the main road. Here we turn right and in the next crossroads we follow the road in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik. The road then brings us to the parking lot near the mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of Blejska koča. The path, which initially ascends gently through spruce forest, a little higher crosses a forest road, after which the path from the NOB monument (Pri Rupah) soon joins us from the left side. The quite wide path, which all the time runs embraced by spruce forests, then higher brings us to the next junction, where we continue left in the direction of Lipanca (right Medvedova konta). We continue the ascent on a very wide cart track, which in a gentle ascent brings us in a few minutes to the grazing area of Planina Lipanca. Here the path turns right and leads us in moderate ascent along the right lower edge of the mentioned planina. This is followed by crossing a grassy slope and the path, which brings us back into the forest, makes a sharp right turn at the NOB memorial plaque, after which we reach the shepherd's and mountain hut on Planina Lipanca.
From the planina we continue right on an initially poorly visible and poorly marked path, which after a short ascent brings us to the upper edge of the planina, where there is also a smaller junction. We continue slightly left in the direction of "Lipanski vrh, Brda and Debela peč" on the path which bypasses a larger sinkhole on the right side. Only a little further, from the "main" path branches off the path towards Lipanski vrh.
We continue slightly right in the direction of Debela peč on the path which gradually starts to ascend ever more steeply. When we pass this somewhat steeper section of the path, we reach the next junction, where we continue straight in the direction of Debela peč (left Lipanska vrata and Brda). We continue on the gentle path, from which already after a few more steps to the right branches off the path to Planina Klek. The well-marked path then bypasses the interesting peak Spodnja Brda (1844m) on the left side and thereafter starts to ascend more steeply on increasingly less vegetated slopes. When we reach the expansive ridge, the steepness eases and the path brings us to a less noticeable junction, where we continue left in the direction of the summit Brda (right Okroglež and Debela peč). The path then ascends more steeply and after 10 minutes of walking among dwarf pines brings us to the summit.
Starting point - Blejska koča 1:00, Blejska koča - Brda 1:15.
