Selski most - Planina Vršana

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Lesce, and then continue driving towards Bled. In Bled we "ignore" the left turn-offs in the direction of Koritno, Bodešče, Ribno and Selo and continue driving to the traffic light, where the road branches off to the right towards Gorje and Pokljuka. At the mentioned crossroad we continue straight and begin descending towards Lake Bled. When on the left we notice the Chinese restaurant Peking we leave the main road towards Bohinjska Bistrica and behind the restaurant continue left onto Ulica Narodnih herojev. At a few smaller crossroads we continue on the main road, then we arrive at Cankarjeva cesta, along which we then drive for some time, i.e. to the crossroad by the chapel, where we continue slightly right in the direction of Selo and Dobre gore (still on the main road Ribno). We continue driving on a gradually narrower road, which leads us for some time along meadows and fields, then it passes into the forest through which it begins to descend. Lower down the forest ends, and we arrive in the village Selo and shortly afterwards at a smaller crossroad, where we continue straight (left and then immediately right) downhill in the direction of Sava and Kupljenik (left Ribno, right Bled). There follows some more descent on a still relatively narrow road, then the asphalt ends, and we drive on a somewhat wider macadam road to Selski most over the river Sava Bohinjka. We park at a suitable spot by the bridge.
B) First we drive to Podbrdo and from there to Bohinjska Bistrica (with the car train or via Soriška planina). From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue driving towards Bled, and there, when we reach the lake, we turn right in the direction of Selo. Further on we drive along the narrow Mlinska cesta. Bled soon ends, the still relatively narrow road brings us to the village Selo, where at a smaller crossroad in the middle of the village we continue right in the direction of Sava and Kupljenik (left Bled, straight Ribno). There follows some more descent on a still relatively narrow road, then the asphalt ends, and we drive on a somewhat wider macadam road to Selski most over the river Sava Bohinjka. We park at a suitable spot by the bridge.

Path description:
From the starting point we head over the bridge across Sava Bohinjka, from which a nice view opens onto Ribenska gora, behind the bridge we continue right in the direction of Bohinjska Bela, Kupljenik and Talež. For a short time we continue on the macadam road which continues along the river, then at the first crossroad we continue left onto the poorer road in the direction of Talež (straight ahead Kupljenik). The poorer road ascends for a few minutes along the pasture fence, at the end of which it splits into two cart tracks.
We continue on the left cart track (the junction is not marked), which gradually turns left and quickly brings us to a hay meadow, from which some view opens towards the Karawanks, but it is not as nice as below from the starting point, since part of the view is obscured by spruces. Behind the decaying hay shed, which is located at the end of the hay meadow, the path returns to the forest and begins to ascend more steeply. We continue on a relatively wide cart track, where we "ignore" all right side turn-offs of side tracks. When higher we arrive at a smaller junction, by which we notice signs for the hunting hut on Talež, we continue slightly right on the still wider cart track. Ahead the path ascends transversely to the right and runs along occasionally steeper slopes of Tolsti vrh (883 m). On the section where the path temporarily flattens somewhat, a technically somewhat more demanding path from Kupljenik joins from the right, but it has been closed since 2014 due to ice damage.
From the junction we continue in the direction of Talež on a temporarily marked path, along which with a few minutes of further ascent we arrive at a junction on a small saddle, by which there is a small bench and a NOB memorial.
On the saddle to the left the path continues to Tolsti vrh and further to the hunting hut on Talež, straight ahead leads the path to planina Talež, to the right the path continues towards planina Vršana and Jelovica.
We continue in the direction of planina Vršana (there are no signs for planina Vršana at the junction) and begin to ascend transversely to the right. There follow a few minutes of moderate ascent, then the path brings us to the edge of planina Vršana, on which there is a feeding station for game.
The description and photos refer to the condition in 2015 (April).
