Zatrnik - Hotunjski vrh (west path)

Access to the starting point:
a) Take the Bled, then continue driving in the direction of Pokljuka. When you arrive at Zatrnik, do not park in the parking lot next to the Zatrnik Inn, but about 100 metres further on in the parking lot on the right side of the road. Parking in the parking lot in front of the inn is only allowed for guests of Inn Zatrnik (pr Jagru).
b) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Lipce, then follow the signs for Kočna and later Spodnje Gorje. At Spodnje Gorje join the road from Bled, and we continue in the direction of Pokljuka. When you arrive at Zatrnik, park not in the parking lot next to the Inn Zatrnik, but about 100 metres further on in the parking lot on the right side of the road. Parking in the parking lot in front of the inn is only allowed for guests of Inn Zatrnik (pr Jagru).

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the main road down to the parking lot next to the Jagru Inn, and we find the start of the trail in a small valley, where there are two children's ski lifts in winter. Continue along the Bambi ski slope (right-hand lift) and then, when the lift ends, continue uphill along the route of the former ski slope. The route, which is usually well-trodden even in winter, continues along the ski slope, which turns increasingly to the left as you go higher up. Higher up, the trail offers increasingly beautiful views as far as Triglav, and the trail quickly leads to the former top station of the ski lift, from where it is only a short 10-step walk along the ridge to the top of Hotunjski vrh.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2017 (January).
