b) Drive to Bohinjska Bistrica and then continue to Bled. Before Bled, at Nomenj, where there is a bus station, a railway station and the Inn pri Matičku along the main road, the route described starts. There are no suitable parking places at the starting point.

Path description:
From the Inn at Matičku, continue towards the Grmečica waterfall, where the path initially leads parallel to the main road, but walk along a worse macadam road. Soon you will pass right through an underpass under the railway line, and then take another right in the direction of Grmečica waterfall and Ema's blast furnace. Continue along the dirt road, which leads you across the pastures to the former parking area, but nowadays parking is only allowed with a permit for fishermen and canyoning users.
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road, which quickly leads to a footbridge over the Sava Bohinjka river. After the bridge, turn left towards the Emin blast furnace (right Grmečica waterfall) and walk along the dirt road to the nearby Emin blast furnace, where there is an information board.
Cross the wooden bridge to the restored ruins of the blast furnace, then follow cart track in the direction of the Plavžarica spring (the signpost points slightly too far to the right). In the following, initially climb up the left side of the Plavžarica, cross it at a higher level and continue the climb along the left bank for a short time, but before the spring the path retreats more to the right, where at the triangular crossroads of the kolovozov, choose the one that is climbing. A few more forks follow, and we follow the "main" logging trail, which ascends to a forest road, which we follow to the left (right Nemški Rovt).
The way forward leads us along a forest road that crosses the slopes to the left, and we walk along it for about 20 minutes, or until the point where the road crosses a track leading from Podkority towards Ratitovec (the path mentioned is marked as marked on some maps, but it is not).
At this point, leave the road and turn right onto the path, which continues through the forest and starts to climb steeply. Higher up, there are some almost unnoticeable forks, and we follow the "main" path, which leads us higher up to a more rocky and partly grassy track. Here we continue to the left and then, after a few metres, when we reach a small valley, to the right on a folded track, which we follow up to a nearby macadam road. Follow the road to the right and then, after a few 10 metres, at a small right-hand bend, slightly left on a track which leads to the bottom of Bitenjska mountain pasture. Once out of the forest, continue slightly left and after a short climb you will see the first huts on mountain pasture, which are reached by a walk across an increasingly scenic meadow.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Ribčeva planina, Planina Pečana, Krekova koča na Ratitovcu, Kosmati vrh (Ratitovec), Gladki vrh (Ratitovec), Altemaver (Ratitovec)
