Javorje - Planina Suha

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica and Lake Bohinj. After the settlement Laški Rovt we will get to a smaller crossroad, where the road which leads towards the starting points of the paths to Rodica, planina Suha, Šija, Vogel... and scout camp Laški Rovt branches off to the left. The macadam road immediately passes into the forest and first ascends past the mentioned scout camp, and then ascends relatively steeply for a few kilometers. After a little less than 6.5 km of driving on macadam we will get to a somewhat bigger crossroad, where the road towards the mountain pasture Planina Storeča raven (starting point of the path to Vogel) branches off to the right. Here we continue straight and after approximately 50 m of additional driving we get to the left turn, where there is the starting point of the path towards Planina Suha. We park on an appropriate place by the road.

Route description:
Near the parking lot, on the west side of the torrent we notice a marked footpath which leads towards Planina Suha. The path first ascends on the right side of the torrent, and then joins it. After a few steps of walking on torrential gravel the marked path turns to the right and entirely flattens. The gentle walk is quickly interrupted by a steep ascent over a relatively steep slope. The steepness then decreases a little and the well-marked path leads us through dense forest on and by the torrent upwards. A little higher the marked path withdraws from the torrent to the left and joins it again after a few minutes. The path, which then runs on the right side of the torrent, soon brings us out of the forest onto the ample Planina Suha.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Planina Poljana (2 h 15 min), Hunting cottage Na Glinu (1 h), Gradovec (2 h 10 min), Zavitar (1 h), Šija, Mala Rodica (1 h 20 min), Suha Rodica (Novi vrh), Mali Raskovec, Rodica, Raskovec (2 h 45 min)
