Planina Smrečica (Poglajnov rovt) - Grajska planina (Ribšca)

Access to starting point:
From Bled or Jesenice we drive to Zatrnik, then we continue driving towards Pokljuka. After Zatrnik we turn onto the first road to the left (i.e. at the road sign between 5.5 km and 6.0 km), then we drive another few hundred meters to the first larger right bend. After the bend, the road which descends to Planina Smrečica branches off to the left, and we park a little further on a suitable place by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road which is gently ascending, after a longer left turn, where we also leave the route of the former ski slope Zatrnik, the road stops ascending, and occasionally further it also descends a little. While walking on the road, we then also cross the route of the former ski lift Berjanca and a little further also the ski slope Berjanca, and a little further some views open up towards the Karawanks. After the transitional panoramic section we reach the marked path Bled (Zaka) - Pokljuka, and we continue right on the cart track to the nearby hunting cottage.
We bypass the hunting cottage on the left side and continue walking on the poorer road. When the road turns a little to the right, we continue straight on the marked cart track, and further we follow the blazes and ascend to the former ski slope Zatrnik, where we start descending (if we continue right we can in a minute or two ascend to the top of the ski slope Berjanca, from where a nice view opens up, which reaches all the way to Triglav). Next follows a shorter descent, then we cross the forest road and continue on the marked cart track. The cart track soon splits, and we choose the upper right path, which further ascends through the spruce forest. A few minutes higher we go from the cart track left onto the marked path, which soon starts descending to the northeastern part of the Planina Rečiška. Next follows walking on Planina Rečiška, where we go past a few cottages.
On the other side of the planina the path widens into a road, and from the nearby junction we continue on the right road, from which we soon go left onto the marked path. The path is at first quite level, then it starts moderately descending and lower reaches another road. To the right the marked path continues, and we continue to the nearby cottage on Planina Grajska, by which after rain there is a nice lake.
