Tržič - Bistriška planina

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), then before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we turn right downwards, where we quickly arrive in Tržič. At the crossroads after the Mercator store we turn left in the direction of the Tržiški museum, but we continue along Koroška cesta, which we follow through the town center to house number 48. Here at the smaller crossroads we turn left onto Pot na pilarno, and the road from here onwards starts descending towards the stream Mošenik. When we come to the stream we cross the bridge and then park in a suitable spot (because most parking spaces are reserved for residents, we may have quite a few problems finding a suitable spot).

Route description:
From the spot where we crossed the bridge we continue along Tržiška Bistrica for approximately 100 m, then, when we spot on the mentioned river a smaller dam, we continue sharply left onto the ascending road, which we follow to the mountain signposts for Dobrča. We continue in the direction of Dobrča and continue the path along the road, which higher over a bridge crosses the main road that leads to Ljubelj. The road continues parallel to the main road for a short time, then turns left and moderately ascends to a smaller hamlet. Just before the last house the blazes direct us slightly left onto a footpath, which soon turns right and ascends diagonally along the edge of the forest. The path then enters a dense forest, where it crosses a short steeper slope. After a short ascent we step onto a larger clearing, on the edge of which stands a lonely cottage. Here we continue right and continue the ascent along the forest path, which higher crosses a forest road. The path ahead starts to ascend steeply, then temporarily flattens and brings us to a steep cart track, along which we continue the ascent. Higher, some views open from the path towards Košuta, Storžič and Kriška gora, and we continue along the marked cart track, which soon brings us to the hunting cottage, where we also step onto the road.
The marked path bypasses the hunting cottage a few tens of meters to the left, and we walk along the road only a short time, as the blazes then direct us slightly left onto the path, which starts to ascend moderately through the forest. The path ahead ascends steeply for a short time, then slightly flattens and continues in a diagonal ascent across occasionally partly panoramic slopes. Higher the path first flattens, then descends to the nearby forest road, which we follow to the right. A few minutes of walking along the mentioned road follow, then we emerge from the forest, where we step onto the vast Bistriška planina.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Breška planina ( 10 min), Lešanska planina, Koča na Dobrči, Dobrča (1 h 25 min), Šentanski vrh (1 h 30 min)
