Itinerary description
|
As usual in the ski resorts there is a place to park, a hotel with a restaurant and some other service depending on the time of year.
Obviously, in winter the main attraction of the area is skiing.
The route we follow seems to be one of the most popular although we leave it towards the end to lengthen it a bit and thus, in our opinion, make it more diverse. At the beginning we find an information panel with a map of the original route that seems to be intended as a family route.
Along the route a dense pine forest predominates and very rarely our sight can extend outside the forest.
It is necessary to emphasize the black lake or Črno jezero that forms a very interesting and attractive corner where we found information of its previous utility that was the operation of the wood of these forests.
Today the birds abound, with ducks being the easiest to see.
We were also struck by anthills, which are sometimes quite tall, made up of pine nuts and other plant materials.
In our opinion, the route would only be one way, as in order to make it circulate, a forest road is used for the return by which vehicles circulate. There is no problem walking through it, as it is wide, bordered by forest and there is not much traffic.
However, in our choice we only go this way a couple of km and almost the whole route we travel along very pleasant paths or paths.
The original route barely has significant differences, although in our addition there is a steeper descent and ascent that must be taken into account, especially if you are going as a child.
Waypoints
Car park
3,847 ft
Aparcament
At the ski resort we find a parking space and a hotel with bar and restaurant. In front of the hotel a signpost indicates the directions of the many trails that start right there.
|
Religious site
3,899 ft
Església
A few meters from the hotel and at the beginning of the ski slope we find Sv. Trije kralji. This is an old church where, every day we spend, there is an annual celebration.
|
Intersection
4,055 ft
Deixem la pista
We go up the wide, grassy ski slope until we leave it on a path that goes to the right.
|
Picnic
4,038 ft
Pícnic
In the forest we find some tables where we can stop for a while between very tall pines.
|
Waypoint
4,023 ft
Passarel·la
To pass an area that is usually denied water we find a walkway that saves us from bathing our feet.
|
Lake
3,968 ft
Llac Negre
This lake is called Črno jezero or something that is the Black Lake itself. Although it is of natural origin, the shape it currently has is due to the fact that a little hurry was made to store more water. The aim was to use this to lower the barter on the canal that was built for this purpose. When the water was released, the logs floated and were driven out of the forest. Today we find a very interesting natural environment with a very rich flora and fauna. It will be easy to see ducks around.

Waypoint
4,010 ft
Sender interpretatiu
Here we find an interpretive trail designed for children with walkways and information panels. It’s like a loop that leaves the main road and returns a little further on. Even if we didn’t, it’s a short detour.
|
Car park
3,926 ft
Aparcament
The path leads to a road where there is a car park. This road, suitable for vehicles, can reach the place where we started our route in about 4 km. We follow it for a little over 2 km, where we leave it on a path that lengthens the route and is a little more difficult than the section we have followed so far. On the other hand, if you follow the path, in a couple of comfortable km you will reach the starting point.
|
Intersection
4,114 ft
Desviament
This is where we leave the main route that continues along the path. We take a path that goes to the right and in principle goes down between an impressive pine forest. This trail lengthens the route and adds both positive and negative gradients.
|
Panorama
3,700 ft
Vistes
At the edge of the path we see some stones from which we have beautiful views beyond the dense forest we go through.
|
Intersection
3,436 ft
Carretera
We come out on a paved road with almost no traffic that we follow for about a km.
|
Intersection
3,484 ft
Sender
Where the road makes a very sharp curve we find some houses. We leave the asphalt and continue leaving the houses on the right and look for an indication that points towards an ascent where the path continues.
