Vodohran Žegnani studenec - Bistriška planina

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Podtabor junction, and then we continue driving towards Tržič, Ljubelj and Celovec. Before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we leave the main road, and then at the crossroads we follow the signs for Begunje na Gorenjskem. When Bistrica pri Tržiču ends, soon the road towards the church of St. Jurij branches off sharply to the right (at the crossroad there are also signs for Vila Bistrica), but we continue on the main road to the nearby left bend, where before the water catchment Žegnani studenec and before the small bridge we turn right, where we then park at an appropriate place.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on a cart track which starts ascending by the stream Blajšnica. The cart track on which we are ascending has several forks higher up, and on all of them we continue straight, where the path leads past numerous water catchments. Higher, we reach the macadam road which leads from Brezij pri Tržiču towards Bistriška planina, and we ascend on it only to the left turn, because the unmarked footpath continues straight through the forest. For some time we still walk through a forest valley, then when we again reach the road, we also stay on it and ascend to Bistriška planina.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2018 (February).
