Pod Debelo glavo - Gradovec (via hunting cottage)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica and Lake Bohinj. After Laški Rovt you will reach a small crossroads where the road to the left branches off and leads to the starting points of the route to Rodica, mountain pasture Suho, Šijo, Vogel. . . and the Laški Rovt camping area. The dirt road immediately turns into a forest and first climbs past the above-mentioned camping area and then climbs relatively steeply for a few kilometres. After a little less than 6. 5 km of macadam, you will come to a slightly larger crossroads where the road branches off to the right towards mountain pasture Storeča raven (the starting point of the route to Vogel). Continue straight on here and after about 50 m of further driving you will come to a left turn where the starting point of the route towards mountain pasture Suha, Rodica and Šija is located. From here, continue along the road leading to the Kobla ski resort for about 1 km, then at the junction continue along the upper right road for about 2 km, or until it ends, where you park.
From the main road to the starting point is approximately 9. 5 km of macadam.

Path description:
About 20 m before the end of the road (in the route of ascent), a path, at first less visible, branches off to the right. After a few steps downhill, the path becomes more visible and heads right, where it crosses the slopes to the east without any major changes in elevation. After about 15 minutes of walking, the path gradually starts to climb and joins the path from Vodela (possible starting point) at a slightly higher level. The moderately steep path then quickly leads out of the forest, where you can see a hunting lodge along the path.
The way forward climbs gently along the valley floor for a while, then turns slightly to the right and starts to climb steeply in a cross-climb. Higher up, the steepness eases and the path, which is less visible in places, leads us through a series of small valleys to mountain pasture Poljana.
From the shepherd's huts, continue along the right-hand side of mountain pasture, and we walk along the edge of mountain pasture to where a well-traced track branches off to the right and begins to climb through the dwarf pines zone. After a short climb, the path turns sharply to the right, and then after a good 10 minutes of further walking leads us to a less visible crossroads, where a path (later a trackless path) branches off to the left towards Raskovec. Continue along the wider right path, which is slightly further on, and then leads us in a moderate ascent to the prevala south of Gradovec (1692 m).
On this pass there is usually a cairn sign pointing to the right onto a cut path which continues through the dwarf pines zone. We continue to climb, first moderately and then quite steeply, along the southern and increasingly scenic ridge of Gradovec. With beautiful views of the mountains surrounding Bohinj, you quickly reach the summit, which, like the last part of the trail, is clear-cut.
