Polja - Kališje

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then we continue driving towards Rateče. In Podkoren we turn right in the direction of the Korensko sedlo pass. Above Podkoren the road turns sharply left, then for some time it crosses the slopes to the left. About 50 meters before the road sign 1 km, a forest road branches off to the left, onto which we turn and park in an appropriate spot beside the road.
B) Via the Predel border crossing we drive into Italy, then we continue driving towards Trbiž / Tarvisio and then to Rateče. In Rateče we continue straight ahead, then in Podkoren we turn left towards Austria. Above Podkoren the road turns sharply left, then for some time it crosses the slopes to the left. About 50 meters before the road sign 1 km, a forest road branches off to the left, onto which we turn and park in an appropriate spot beside the road.

Route description:
From the starting point we continue on the forest road, which curves semicircularly to the left and temporarily leads us beside the pasture. The road, which after the bend begins to ascend gently to moderately, soon crosses the Kališnik stream, then slowly turns more and more to the right. Higher we arrive at a scenic section from which a nice view opens towards Kranjska Gora and part of the Julian Alps. Next follows crossing a pasture fence, immediately after the mentioned crossing we continue right on a partly overgrown cart track which ascends transversely above the road. For a few minutes we ascend on the overgrown cart track, then the cart track transitions into dense forest, where it is easier to pass. Higher, on the section where the cart track disappears in the grass, we continue right and in a few steps join the path leading from Rateče.
Further we ascend through the area named Lomiči, where on several grassy spots we notice old, mostly already quite worn-out hayracks. During the ascent on the mentioned section, when looking back several times a nice view opens on the Julian Alps, and higher we reach the macadam road which we follow to the left (the right branch of the road soon ends). On the road we ascend for a few minutes, then arrive at a junction where we continue on the rightmost road (left Rateče and Peč, slightly right Petelinjek). From the junction only a short ascent follows and the path brings us to the transmitters on the top of Kališje.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2016 (October).
