Planina Zajavornik - Mrežce

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the Lesce exit and follow the road in the direction of Bled, where at the signalized crossroads signs for Pokljuka direct us to the right. We follow this road, which in the lower part runs through some villages and later starts to ascend more steeply, to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 meters behind the crossroads, where the road to Bohinj branches off to the left downward). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture, the road which leads to Medvedova konta, the monument Pri Rupah, and the mountain pasture Zajavornik branches off to the right from the main road. Here we turn right and follow the road in the following crossroads in the direction of the mountain pasture Zajavornik. The road then brings us to the parking lot near the mountain pasture Zajavornik.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of Blejska koča. The path, which initially ascends gently through the spruce forest, a little higher crosses a forest road, after which the path from the NOB monument (Pri Rupah) soon joins us from the left side. The fairly wide path, which all the time runs embraced by spruce forests, then brings us higher to the next junction, where we continue left in the direction of Lipanca (right Medvedova konta). We continue the ascent on a very wide cart track, which in a gentle ascent brings us in a few minutes to the grazing area of the mountain pasture Lipanca. Here the path turns right and leads us in a moderate ascent along the right lower edge of the mentioned mountain pasture. This is followed by crossing a grassy slope and the path, which brings us back into the forest, makes a sharp right turn at the NOB memorial plaque, after which we reach the shepherd's and mountain hut on the mountain pasture Lipanca.
From the hut, we continue left in the direction of Viševnik and Mrežce on the path, from which soon a path toward Rudno polje branches off to the left downward. We continue straight and the moderately steep path brings us after a short ascent to the next junction, where we continue right in the direction of Mrežce (straight Viševnik and Mrežce longer path). The path ahead starts to ascend steeply through increasingly sparse forest. Higher up, the steepness eases and beautiful views of the highest peaks of the Julian Alps begin to open up from the path. A little further on, the already mentioned longer path joins us from the left, but we continue right and after a few more minutes of walking step onto the panoramic summit of Mrežce.
