Velika Zaka (Bled) - Mala Osojnica (along Ojstrica)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we take the Lesce exit and drive towards Bled. When we arrive there, we drive straight in the direction of Bohinjska Bistrica. Past the settlement Mlino (pension Mlino), we also drive by the hotel Vila Bled on the right, then at the crossroads (road junction) we turn right (left, or straight to Bohinj). When the road through some turns descends near the lake (Njivice), we drive only a short time along the lake, after which on the left side of the road we notice a macadam road which slightly ascends. We head onto it, ignore the left turn-off to Dom muzealcev Slovenije and already after a few meters we park at a suitable place. As a starting point, we can also choose the nearby Velika Zaka, from where shortcuts bring us to our hiking path towards Ojstrica and Osojnica.

Route description:
We continue uphill on a macadam road which changes into a cart track and quickly brings us into the forest. Then, when a little higher the cart track, which is becoming more and more like a gully, ascends a bit steeper, we come to a marked turn-off to panoramic Ojstrica, which is located directly nearby on our right. We head there, and through two zigzags we ascend to the rocky peak of panoramic Ojstrica, where there is a bench. After the descent we continue in the direction marked "Velika Osojnica", on the path which we left before. This ascends a little steeper after the gentle part, and while winding changes into a gully. When the steepness eases again, we come to a junction with a bench, where we turn left (right Velika Osojnica). From here the path in a gentle ascent brings us near the edge of the north-eastern slope of the hill, where a sign directs us right, and soon after we step onto a fenced viewpoint with benches and an information board.
