Pickup from your Bled accommodation at 8:00 AM, followed by a 30-minute drive to the Pokljuka plateau at 1,300 meters.
From the Medvedova Konta car park, you hike through dense spruce forest for around 45 minutes before reaching Planina Lipanca — a beautiful alpine meadow at 1,630 meters with traditional Slovenian farm buildings and the cozy Lipanca mountain hut, where you can stop for local food and drinks before continuing (own expense).
From Lipanca, the trail steepens through larch forest and open rocky terrain to the summit of Debela Peč at 2,014 meters — one of the most accessible peaks above 2,000 meters in Slovenia.
The 360-degree panorama takes in Triglav and the Julian Alps to the north and west, the Karavanke Ridge bordering Austria to the east, and on clear days Lake Bled to the south.
You retrace the route back down, covering around 10 km with 700 meters of elevation gain in approximately 3 hours of hiking. Sturdy hiking shoes, layers, and water are essential. Back in Bled by early afternoon.
