Bistrica pri Tržiču - Bistriška planina

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj and follow the road ahead in the direction of Tržič. Just before the gas station at Tržič we turn right (direction Tržič) and then immediately left (direction Begunje). Soon after Bistrica pri Tržiču a macadam road towards Vila Bistrica branches off sharply to the right. Here we turn right and then we park in an appropriate place by the road.

Route description:
From the crossroad, we continue on a macadam road in the direction of Vila Bistrica. The road, which is gently ascending, brings us in a few minutes to asphalt, where we arrive at a crossroad, by which there is a chapel.
Immediately behind the chapel we continue sharply left on a cart track which on the left side bypasses the nearby residential house (nearby we notice also signposts for Dobrča and Bistriška planina). The cart track quickly passes into the forest and relatively steeply ascends to some sort of ridge, from which occasionally a view opens up a little towards Kriška gora and Gorenjska. When the ridge ends we continue on the right cart track, which returns into the forest, and we follow it to a more grassy part (area named Na planincah).
Further the cart track occasionally ascends relatively steeply, and then it brings us to several successive crossings, where it flattens. At the crossings, we carefully follow the blazes, which eventually divert us from the cart track to a forest footpath. The quite gently sloping path then brings us in a few minutes to the mountain pasture Bistriška planina.

Along the route: Na planincah (835m)
