Vrbovska Poljana - Bjelolasica (direct way)

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Petrina we drive to Delnice, where we get to an old road Zagreb - Reka. We continue right and we follow the road ahead towards Mrkopalj. And in the village Mrkopalj a sign for Begovo - Razdolje (highest settlement in Croatia) points right on an ascending road which soon brings us in the mentioned village. At the end of the village, we come to a smaller crossroad, where we continue on the right road which soon becomes a macadam. This road after few kilometers brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Bjelolasica (right Janjčarica). Further, we drive past the quarry after which we soon notice signposts KPP, which point us to the left upwards. We park here on a smaller parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go left on a footpath which after good 10 minutes of a moderate ascent brings us to bad macadam road, where there is a crossing. We continue straight in the direction of Bjelolasica (left Žuta Poljana) on a path which starts ascending steeper and steeper. And already pretty steep path a little higher brings us to a crossing of paths, where we continue left in the direction of the summit (right cottage). The path ahead ascends even steeper and then it brings us on the upper ridge of Bjelolasica, where the steepness decreases. Here, where we again come to a crossing we continue left on the upper grassy ridge. This increasingly panoramic path we follow all the way to the top of Bjelolasica, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
