Trate (Blejska Dobrava) - Boršt

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, on exit Jesenice east (Lipce, Sp. Gorje) at the crossroad we turn left, in the direction of Sp. Gorje, and we drive through highway underpass. After second underpass (railway) we find ourselves at the next crossroad, where we go left, uphill towards Blejska Dobrava. Towards the top of the slope, we have to pay attention, because immediately, when the road flattens we turn right, on a side road which is among houses slightly ascending and turning to the left. We drive only a short time, to the spot where the asphalt ends, and if possible we park by the road on the left side. We can continue driving to the upper part of the village named Trate, which is located not far ahead on the road.

Path description:
We go on a macadam road. This soon changes back in asphalt and it quickly brings us to the settlement, where at the first crossroad we ignore the right turn-off. After gentle descent follows the second crossroad, in which we turn right past a trough (by the path sign "Vintgar"), and immediately after this slightly left, among houses. Soon after the road changes into a cart track, we run into a cart track on the right, on which we go, and we continue uphill, over shorter lane of a meadow in the forest. Cart track soon turns left and it ascends steeper towards the summit. When the steepness decreases a little we get to a crossing, where we continue left. Higher, after the right turn follows other crossing, where we also choose the left, and we continue with an ascent. When the steepness again decreases a little, on the third crossing we ignore the left turn-off and we continue straight, and soon after this at the next crossing we turn left, on a cart track which is steeper ascending towards the summit. When higher we step out of the forest we ignore one more left turn-off of cart track, and the path quickly brings us on a plain below cutted eastern slope of Boršt. Here we turn right, and the cart track after a gentle ascent quite quickly brings us into the forest, where on top (before it descends) is located a crossing. Here we go left on a cart track which is steeply ascending on north-eastern slope of Boršt. On trunk of one of the spruces we will maybe notice "Notification" to hikers. Further at steeper ascending we stick to the right side in notification mentioned "marked route", which means, that we don't walk all the time on a cart track, but occasionally on the route on its right, which is all the way to the top beaten a little (at destination we get also on a cart track). Because of the trees peak of Boršt doesn't offer much of a view into a valley, we can enjoy it on the east slope, few meters lower. Here we will be able to see all from Pusti rovt on the left, over Karawanks and part of Kamnik Alps, and wide Ljubljana basin, to slopes of Jelovica on the right.
