Ribčev Laz - Planina Suha

Access to starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica and later Ribčev Laz. At the crossroads right next to Lake Bohinj, we turn left towards the hotel Bellevue, but we follow the road for a little less than 100 m, or to the large marked parking lot. The parking lot is paid, the price is 1€/h (data July 2011).
We can also park on the free parking lot at the beginning of Ribčev Laz, which extends the path by approximately 10 minutes.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of the hotel Bellevue, from which soon a marked path to Rodica branches off to the left. We continue in the mentioned direction (straight to hotel Bellevue and Vogel) and continue the path on a worse forest road, which soon turns left over a bridge. Just before the road over the bridge crosses the torrent stream, a cart track branches off to the right (straight ahead) from it, which continues along the torrent. The gently sloping path then leads us past a few huts, after them it crosses the stream, along which we continue for a short time, then it turns slightly to the left, where we arrive at the end of the nearby forest road.
From the end of the road, we continue in the direction of Planina Suha and begin to ascend a steep mountain path. After a few minutes, the path flattens and brings us to a forest-covered ridge, along which we continue to the nearby old cart track. When we step onto the cart track, we begin to ascend somewhat more steeply again, then the path turns slightly to the right and gradually flattens. Ahead, we cross a scenic slope and through a belt of scrub return to the forest. Higher up, we cross various forest roads several times, or also walk along them for a short time. In the last part of the walk along the road, we arrive at a junction, where the road to Planina Storeča raven branches off to the right, but we continue straight ahead and follow the road for another approximately 50 m, or to the place where the road turns left and crosses the torrent stream.
From here (area named Javorje), to which it is also possible to drive by car, we continue on the marked mountain path in the direction of Planina Suha.
The path ahead first ascends along the torrent, then turns to the right, where it ascends gently for a short time through the forest. After a few minutes of easy walking, the path turns left and begins to ascend steeply across a steep slope. During the steep ascent, a nice view towards the north opens up briefly, then the path flattens again. A few minutes of gentle walking follow, then the markers direct us slightly to the left onto a path that begins to ascend somewhat more steeply, while crossing slopes to the right. Higher up, we cross the torrent once more, then ascend along it to the lower edge of Planina Suha, where we also exit the forest. From here, only a short moderate ascent remains, and the path brings us to the central part of the pasture, where a few shepherd huts stand.
