Zatrnik - Zgornji Goreljek (Pokljuka)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Bled, and then continue driving in the direction of Pokljuka. When we arrive at Zatrnik, we do not park on the parking lot next to the inn Gostilna Zatrnik, but about 100 meters further on the parking lot on the right side of the road. Parking on the parking lot in front of the inn is allowed only for guests of the inn Gostilna Zatrnik (pr Jagru).
B) We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lipce exit, and then follow the signs for the settlement Kočna and later Spodnje Gorje. In Spodnje Gorje we join the road from Bled, and continue in the direction of Pokljuka. When we arrive at Zatrnik, we do not park on the parking lot next to the inn Gostilna Zatrnik, but about 100 meters further on the parking lot on the right side of the road. Parking on the parking lot in front of the inn is allowed only for guests of the inn Gostilna Zatrnik (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 find the start of the path in a smaller valley where in winter there are two children's ski lifts. We continue along the ski area or the ski slope Bambi (right ski lift), and then, when the ski lift ends, we continue the ascent along the route of the former ski slope. The path continues along the ski slope, which higher 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, which descends through a narrow strip of forest and then leads 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 ascend diagonally along the cart track to a macadam road, which we follow to the right. Along the road, we first descend slightly, then ascend gently to the place where we reach the marked path Bled (Zaka) - Pokljuka.
Here the signs for Pokljuka direct us sharply right onto the path, which ascends diagonally across a somewhat steeper slope. Higher we reach a cart track, along which we ascend through a smaller valley, where we soon arrive at a junction by a small cottage. Past the small cottage, we continue right and the marked path leads us to the Forestry Cottage Mali Vokel, located at an elevation of 1145 m.
We bypass the forestry cottage on the right side, then the blazes lead us into the forest, through which we ascend more steeply. A few minutes higher, we cross a macadam road, but continue straight and likewise along the macadam road arrive in a few dozen steps at the hunting cottage.
We bypass the hunting cottage on the left side and continue walking along the poorer road. When the road turns somewhat to the right, we continue straight onto the marked cart track, and then follow the blazes and ascend to the former ski area Zatrnik, where we begin to descend (if we continue right, we can in a minute or two ascend to the top of the ski area Berjanca, from where a nice view opens up all the way to Triglav). A short descent follows, then we cross the forest road and continue along the marked cart track. The cart track soon forks, and we choose the upper right path, which then ascends through the spruce forest. A few minutes higher, we go left from the cart track onto the marked path, which soon begins to descend to the northeastern part of Rečiška planina. Walking follows along Rečiška planina, where we pass by a few cottages.
On the other side of the planina, the path widens into a road, and from the nearby junction we continue along the right road, from which we soon go left onto the marked path. The path is initially fairly level, then begins to descend moderately and lower reaches another road. To the right, the marked path continues, which semicircularly bypasses Grajska planina, in the middle of which after heavier rain there is a nice lake. On the other side of the planina, the road enters the forest, which we soon leave and continue left along the marked mountain trail, which brings us to the edge of the bog Močila, along which we continue for quite some time. Since the marked path in several places is already part of the bog, a parallel path has formed somewhat to the right. When we leave the area of the peat bog Močila, we arrive at the asphalt road Bohinj - Pokljuka, which we follow briefly to the left, then the blazes and signs for Šport hotel direct us right onto the continuation of the mountain path. A longer walk through the forest follows, where at junctions we follow the blazes, and after a while we arrive at the first cottages on Zgornji Goreljek. When we reach the asphalt road a little further on, we follow it to the right, then follow the signs for Šport hotel, to which we arrive past numerous weekend houses, the chapel of St. Anthony the Hermit, the NOB monument, and Hotel Jelka.
