Strmec - Debela peč (via Spodnja Brda)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and we follow the road in the direction of Bled, there in traffic lights crossroad signs for Pokljuka point us to the right. This road which in the lower part runs through some villages and later starts ascending steeper we follow to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 meters behind the crossroad, where left downwards road to Bohinj branches off). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture from the main road the road which runs to Medvedova konta, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Javornik branches off to the right. Here we turn right and follow the road to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Medvedova konta (straight mountain pasture Javornik). The road ahead after a shorter ascent descends and it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue left. After that at the first right turn off we turn right. Soon another road branches off sharply to the right, here we go straight and only about 100m and then at the crossroad sharply right. Now we drive approximately 3km to the first turn-off to the left. Here we turn left and drive to the parking lot, where signs point us on the mountain pasture Klek. We park on a smaller parking lot by the road.

Path description:
Near the parking lot, we notice signs for mountain pasture Klek. We go on a wide footpath which after few minutes brings us out of the forest on an ample mountain pasture, where there are some shepherd huts.
From the upper part of the mountain pasture we descend on the mountain pasture downwards and further we follow the marked path, which on the other side goes into larch forest. Further, we follow in parts a little poorly visible footpath slightly upwards. After few minutes of pleasant walking path brings us on a larger clearing, where we come to a marked crossing.
Right upward direct path on Debela peč branches off, and we continue left mostly slightly upwards in the direction of Lipanca. The path which occasionally even descends a little we follow over mostly larch forest to the next crossing.
Here we go right in the direction of Debela peč steeper upwards, left Lipanca. After a short ascent, the path joins the normal approach on Debela peč from Blejska koča.
We continue right upward on an increasingly panoramic path to the ridge, where a beautiful view opens up on the highest peaks of Julian Alps. Here the path turns right and crosses slopes of Okroglež. A little further, the path for a short time descends and it brings us to the foot of the last ascent. Here the path ascends and after ten minutes of walking on the upper slope of the mountain brings us on a panoramic peak.
