Access:
On the motorway we go towards Gorenjska region, towards Jesenice until the exit Lesce. From here we continue towards and through Bled, we pass the settlement Mlino, till the crossroads (intersection), where we turn right (left route would take us to Bohinj). The road begins to descend towards the lake (Njivice), from here we follow the path leading us along the lake towards Zaka. Before Velika Zaka (here is the finish line for boat-races) we notice on the left a gravel road with signs. When we turn on this route we park correctly.
Route to Mala Osojnica
From the parking lot we go into direction of the hill, towards the Home of museum workers of Slovenia; in front of this building we turn right, later to the left and we continue on the path that takes us into the woods towards inselberg Osojnica. Once in the woods, we take the right marked path and we stay on it till we reach the steel cable. Later we have the support of the wooden fence on the way to the top. Over time we reach high, almost vertical steel stairs (when wet they become extremely slippery so be very careful). After the ascent we reach the top, where a bench is waiting for us in case we are in need of a rest. If you continue towards left to the wooden fence that is directed towards the edge, you will reach a viewing point with both benches and info board.
Route on Velika Osojnica
When we are on Mala Osojnica there are direction signs towards Velika Osojnica in Ojstrica. We take the route towards Velika Osojnica, where the path descends a bit. On the intersection we continue left and after a few minutes reach another intersection. Directions signs will show us the way towards Velika Osojnica and we follow that path in the woods. Later the path gets steeper and goes toward right, after the ascent we reach the summit of Velika Osojnica. A bench is waiting for us there and the view on the neighbouring wooden areas. A few minutes of walk into the right from the summit, we reach a viewing point and we can appreciate the view on Lake Bled.
