Route description:
From the starting point, from where a nice view opens up on the dam on the river Radovna, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Mojstrana, Zg. Radovna and Krma. At the end of the settlement Krnica we enter the area of Triglav National Park, and we walk on the road which runs along the left bank of the river Radovna. At the road sign 2.5 km we arrive at HE Gorje, some 10 m further the signs for the source of Lipnik direct us left onto a side road which over a bridge leads us to the other side of the river. A little further, at the smaller crossroads we continue left onto the cart track (straight homestead Lipnikar), a few steps further over a small bridge we cross the stream Lipnik. On the other side of the stream we go right, where for a short time we still walk on the cart track, then the path narrows. Along the less trodden path we quickly arrive at the information board, a little further also at the source of Lipnik.
From the source we return to the macadam road, then continue towards the homestead Lipnikar, where in front of the house we continue right over the bridge. On the other side of the stream Lipnik the cart track quickly enters the forest, at the junctions we continue straight. The path soon approaches the river Radovna, along which we then continue mostly with an easy ascent. Further we go past another dam and later a source, then we arrive at a larger meadow, where on the right we notice Jezerce v dolini Radovne.
We bypass Jezerce on the left side, then continue straight and soon arrive at the bank of Radovna, along which we continue through the forest. Through the forest we follow the traceable path, but when we step onto the meadow, it disappears. We continue to the nearby two cottages, behind them we go straight, where in the forest a poorer path reappears. The path leads us somewhat to the left, so that it moves away from the river Radovna, and brings us to the source Zmrzlek, where the path completely disappears. We continue to the other side of the source and in a minute ascend from the forest to a larger meadow, where the cart track reappears. On the cart track we descend to a smaller crossroads, where we continue slightly left on the macadam road (right we return to the asphalt road), from which soon we go slightly right onto the cart track which crosses a stream, over which we go on slippery rocks. The cart track gradually turns into a path which brings us to the next meadow, where on the left we notice a collapsing cottage, but we keep slightly to the right direction, where in the forest a path appears which leads us through the forest. Through the forest we go past some springs, then the forest starts to thin and we arrive at a meadow, where there stands a hayrack and behind it a smaller cottage. The meadow is in the month of May usually full of flowers, among others there is also a lot of Clusius' gentian.
On the other side of the meadow, behind the smaller cottage a cart track appears, which then past a green ramp temporarily takes us into the forest. When we step out of the forest we keep slightly to the right direction, when we return to the forest we descend transversely along a poorer path to the bank of Radovna, where the path becomes more distinct and easier to follow. Walking through the forest follows, the path widens into a cart track, which a little further crosses the river Radovna, but we continue straight on the path which continues along the river. Traversing the slopes somewhat above the river follows, a landslide has carried away part of the path in two places, so the passage is somewhat more difficult, but still undemanding. When the traversing ends we step onto a larger meadow, where on the right a cart track appears, along which we continue to the asphalt road.
We follow the road to the right, where we immediately cross Radovna, after the bridge we arrive at the memorial park Radovna, where we go left onto the macadam road. At the crossroads we follow the road straight, when on the left we notice a lake, we walk to it across the meadow.
From the lake we return to the road, at the nearby crossroads we go straight (left we return to the main road). We continue across meadows, after a few minutes we arrive at the farm Klemenak, where they sell cheese and dairy products. Here the road turns left and somewhat further crosses the river Radovna, when we return to the main road we follow it to the right. Somewhat further from the road a road towards Pokljuka branches off, which is closed to public traffic, we continue straight, where we go past a water trough and forestry cottages (along the main road there is only one cottage). Further the road starts to ascend somewhat more noticeably and leads us past Psnak's sawmill and mill, then from the main road we go right in the direction of Gogalova lipa (straight Krma and Mojstrana), to which we arrive after approximately 5 minutes of further walking.
We return along the same path or along a shorter path on the asphalt road.
