Konjska raven (Pokljuka) - Turn (above Bohinjska Bela)

Access to starting point:
A) From Bled or Jesenice we drive to Pokljuka, then, when we are already on the plateau, we turn left in the direction of Bohinj. Further on, we drive along the road towards Gorjuše, between the road signs 3.5 and 4 km, then we turn left onto the forest road in the direction of Belska planina. We park at an appropriate place at the intersection.
B) From Železniki or Podbrdo we drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then we continue driving in the direction of Bled. Soon after the Petrol gas station, which is located just a little after Bohinjska Bistrica, we continue driving left in the direction of Pokljuka and Jereka. Further on, the road first ascends steeply, then after Korita it gradually flattens and brings us to the intersection at the bus stop, where we continue right in the direction of Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the intersection we arrive in Jereka, and from the intersection in front of the church we continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road starts ascending more steeply again, higher up it flattens and continues along the Mrzli potok, where the road to Koprivnik v Bohinju branches off to the left, and we continue straight towards Pokljuka and Gorjuše. After Gorjuše the road enters the forest, and we drive along it to the road sign between 4 and 3.5 km, where we turn right onto the forest road in the direction of Belska planina. We park at an appropriate place at the intersection.

Route description:
From the starting point we continue on a macadam road in the direction of Belska planina. The road we walk on ascends gently through the spruce forest, and when the forest starts to thin out, we arrive at the edge of Belska planina. Here we arrive at a smaller intersection, and we continue along the slightly left road, which brings us to the heart of the mountain pasture, where several wooden huts stand.
On the other side of the mountain pasture we return to the slightly right road, along which we continue through a small valley to a marked junction a few minutes away.
From the junction a marked path to Galetovec branches off to the right (20 minutes), and we continue straight along the ascending road to the nearby NOB monument.
After the monument we continue slightly right onto an unmarked path, which soon turns somewhat to the left and then brings us through the forest to the ridge of Turn, along which we quickly ascend to the panoramic summit.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2017 (May).
