Koroška Bela (RC Kres) - Planina Stamare (over ridge of Alničje)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lipce and turn right towards Jesenice. At the first traffic lights (Slovenski Javornik), turn right towards Lj. At the second traffic-lighted junction, turn left and go under the railway underpass, and at the next smaller junction, turn right towards Koroška Bela. Go past the last bus stop (the shop on the left) into the village. Look for the crossroads in the centre of the village, where there is a church memorial. From here, follow the main road through the village, which leads uphill to the north. After about 100 m, you will see a bridge on the right, but go straight on for another 50 m, where you will come to a left fork in the road. Take this road, cross another (Koroška) street on the uphill slope and continue (the church is lower on the left) until you reach the area outside the village, where you come across the abandoned tennis courts (RC Kres).

Path description:
From the starting point, follow the right-hand path (kolovozu) uphill, where you will come across markings. Soon there will be a right turn followed by a left turn. On the right side of the latter you will see a path into the forest. Leave the marked path, follow it and start climbing. The path turns left onto the western slope of Alničje and continues to climb quite steeply northwards. Soon, when the steepness starts to ease a little, you will see the first sharp right fork (back). Not long afterwards, shortly before the path almost flattens out, we come across another, less obvious one, which leads steeply, right uphill, to the north. Take the latter and start climbing quite steeply. In a few roundabouts, the path leads to the SW edge of the ridge, where we leave it, as it ends after a few metres, and step onto the steep edge of the ridge mentioned above. Head left towards the summit, keeping to the forest edge on the left. Higher up, when you see the track, you can help yourself by holding on to trees (beware! dry trees). When you see some rocks on the path, you are at the top. Climb up to the ridge and follow it northwards. A steeper climb soon follows, in the middle of which the view back down into the valley starts to open up. Then we walk for a while along a moderately ascending, interesting ridge, with views on both sides. Higher up, the ridge widens and the path then climbs again a little steeper to the very highest point of the ridge, where it narrows again. Here the view opens up towards Potoški Stol and the Ljubljanska basin. The ridge continues down to the saddle below Debeli Brdo, where there is a bench and a registration book under a spruce tree on the right.
Continue along the path on the right side of the spruce into the forest. The path first crosses the eastern slope of Debeli Brda and then briefly climbs slightly to the left. When it levels off, it leads to the marked Pristava - Valvasor trail, which you follow to the right, - eastwards. The track leads to a clearing, where it climbs again and after a while leads to a forest road at 1270 m (near Olipova mountain pasture). Here, follow the road to the left to its end, where you will see a barely visible track on the right, heading north uphill. As you ascend and it disappears, turn left across a wide clearing (avalanche with Kamnitnik (unreliable in winter)) towards the woods, walk along the edge of which for 100 m uphill, then you will see a path leading left through the woods. This leads to a small stream, which you cross, and follow uphill towards mountain pasture. We come across a wooden bridge, and the first hut on the left (a lookout point behind it). Once on the forest road, after 10 m it leads to the sunny mountain pasture of Stamare, with a shepherd's and hunter's hut.
