Žnidarjeva planina - Ribenska planina

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway take the Naklo, Podtabor or Brezje exit, then continue driving towards Kropa. At the crossroads, where the road continues straight ahead towards Kropa, turn right and further drive through Kamna Gorica. Further ahead we drive for some time through Lipniška dolina valley, then turn left towards Spodnja Lipnica and Lovska koča na Taležu hunting cottage. Spodnja Lipnica soon ends, then we start to ascend on a macadam road towards Jelovica, where we follow the signs for Talež and Goška Ravan. Higher up, the road branches off to the right towards Talež, we follow the worse road in the direction of Goška Ravan, when the road towards Goška Ravan turns sharply to the left, we continue straight towards Ribenska planina. There follows some more traversing ascent and we arrive at the crossroads, beside which there is a renovated cottage (on the maps this part is marked as Žnidarjeva planina).
B) From the Jesenice-Ljubljana highway take the Lesce or Radovljica exit, then continue driving towards Radovljica and later the villages Lancovo, Lipnica and Kamna Gorica. Further the road crosses the Sava river over a bridge and on the other side gradually starts to ascend. The route further leads us through Lancovo, then we descend into Lipniška dolina valley, where soon we turn right into Spodnja Lipnica, from where we continue driving towards Talež. Spodnja Lipnica soon ends, then we start to ascend on a macadam road towards Jelovica, where we follow the signs for Talež and Goška Ravan. Higher up, the road branches off to the right towards Talež, we follow the worse road in the direction of Goška Ravan, when the road towards Goška Ravan turns sharply to the left, we continue straight towards Ribenska planina. There follows some more traversing ascent and we arrive at the crossroads, beside which there is a renovated cottage (on the maps this part is marked as Žnidarjeva planina).

Route description:
From the crossroads at Žnidarjeva planina we take the left road towards Ribenska planina (signposted Ribnska planina and planina Ribno), along which we ascend gently to moderately. Higher the road levels out and we arrive at the upper edge of Ribenska planina, from where a nice view opens up onto the mountain pasture.
Here the road turns slightly to the right, from it even further to the right branches off a road towards Kravji dolina. We continue straight and start to descend gently, from the wider road we soon go slightly left onto a side road, which starts to descend semicircularly along the edge of Ribenska planina. Lower the road levels out and we quickly arrive at the shepherd's hut on Ribenska planina.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in July 2020.
