Zatrnik - Belska planina

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Bled, then continue driving towards Pokljuka. When we arrive at Zatrnik, we do not park at the parking lot by Gostilna Zatrnik inn, but about 100 meters further on at the parking lot on the right side of the road. Parking at the parking lot in front of the inn is permitted only to guests of Gostilna Zatrnik inn (pr Jagru).
B) We exit the Gorenjska motorway at the Lipce exit, then follow the signs to the Kočna settlement and later Spodnje Gorje. In Spodnje Gorje, we join the road from Bled, but continue towards Pokljuka. When we arrive at Zatrnik, we do not park at the parking lot by Gostilna Zatrnik inn, but about 100 meters further on at the parking lot on the right side of the road. Parking at the parking lot in front of the inn is permitted only to guests of Gostilna Zatrnik inn (pr Jagru).

Path description:
From the parking lot by the main road, we descend to the parking lot by the inn pr Jagru, but we look for the start of the path in a smaller valley where in winter there are two children's ski lifts. We continue alongside the ski area or ski slope Bambi (right ski lift), then, when the ski lift ends, continue the ascent along the route of the former ski slope. The path continues along the ski slope, which higher up turns increasingly to the left. Soon a steep ski slope branches off to the left, but we continue along the gentler right ski slope. When the route of the former ski slope temporarily flattens even more, a path branches off to the right, descending through a narrow strip of forest, then leading us to a swampy meadow. We continue across the meadow to the nearby cottage, where we step onto a wider cart track.
From the cottage, we continue left into the forest and diagonally ascend along the cart track to a macadam road, which we follow to the right. Along the road, we first descend slightly, then it continues with some shorter ascents and descents; while walking along the road, we cross the route of the marked path Bled (Zaka) – Pokljuka.
A little further on, a nice view opens up of Lake Bled, and the road ahead rises mostly gently to moderately. When the road brings us onto a meadow after a longer right bend, we leave it just before the feeder and continue right onto an often quite rutted cart track. At the first junction of cart tracks, we choose the left one, at the second the right branch, in both cases the wider cart track. When the cart track or rut levels out, slightly left of the cart track we notice a small path that continues parallel above the cart track. Some 10 steps further, another path joins us from the right, which branches off from the cart track a little further ahead, but we continue along the path through the forest to a smaller saddle, where we join another cart track and quickly ascend along it to a macadam road, which we follow left. While walking along the road, the marked path from Bohinjska Bela – path over Slamniki joins from the left. Here, a few steps further, just a little before the NOB memorial, the path to the nearby Turn (1249 m), a few minutes away, branches off straight ahead or slightly to the left, but we continue right along the marked path, which continues along the road. After a short descent, we reach the next junction, where the path to Galetovec branches off to the left, but we continue straight and after a few minutes of further walking along the road arrive at Belska planina.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2017 (May).
