Blejska Dobrava (cemetery) - Hom pri Bledu (on east slope)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lipce, where you turn left (direction Blejska Dobrava and Spodnje Gorje). After 100 m of driving, just after passing through the railway underpass, you will come to the next junction, where you turn left uphill to Blejska Dobrava (right Bled, Gorje). When the road soon becomes level, drive straight through the village, where you will follow the signs for Vintgar and the cemetery. After about 1 km you will come to a railway tunnel. On the other side, where the road splits, turn right and after a further 100 m you will arrive at a large parking lot located near the cemetery.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue on foot in the same direction, straight past the cemetery and the buildings next to it, on your right. Shortly after we have entered the dirt road, it turns right and starts to descend gently. The road soon leads into a mixed forest, where it continues to descend gently through bends. Then, as it flattens out, it leads us close to the river Radovna and soon to a bridge where we cross the river. On the other side, turn right up the hill (with the hydroelectric power station on the left), and you will reach a parking lot, at the end of which you will see concrete steps. Climb up the steps to the log cabin (in season a buffet and ticket sales for the gorge) from behind which you can also see the Šum waterfall from the top down on the bridge past the pergola. From the log cabin, continue up the stairs on the far left in the route marked "Katarina Bled". The path leads us past a small abandoned house quickly into the forest and climbs moderately for a short time at first. Shortly afterwards, when it levels off, we take a left at a crossroads and a little later we cross a small stream. Soon we are again at a "crossroads", where we take a perpendicular right (straight St Catherine) along cart track, which turns slightly to the left in the woods. Soon, when you come to a sharp right-hand fork logging trail, follow it(o) and continue north. Logging trail, bearing right, crosses a stream in the woods and leads to a slightly more open part of the woods where there is a crossroads. Here we continue on the left logging trail, which then climbs steeply. Once it has settled, the path turns left and continues to climb gently for a short distance. After the flatter part, the path turns left again and leads to the next crossroads in the open part of the forest. Here turn right perpendicularly onto the cart track (train), which leads into the forest (left forest road from the route of St Catherine, slightly left and slightly right "blind" logging trail on the slope). Then, after the next open part, when it leads back into the forest, cart track narrows into a track as it climbs moderately. This soon leads to a small pass where there is an unmarked crossroads. Here, leave the wider path and turn left onto the slope of Homa (straight ahead: the destroyed and dangerous path above the gorge, right: the path down, which is lost). When the path takes us through the clearing, enter the forest and climb quite steeply up the slope towards the summit. Although the trail occasionally loses its way in this part, the indicated direction is not difficult to follow. When you reach the top, the path turns slightly right and briefly lays down, then takes you through a narrow lane copse. After this, there is a final moderate climb along the edge of the north-west slope, to the summit of Homa. Here we come across a large wooden cross, and boxes with a register and a summit stamp.
