    The trail over Kupljenik is a circular trail with a 200-metre ascent. Kupljenik is a small and elongated village with many original architectural sites and the beautiful church of St Stephen from the start of the 16th century. The site offers beautiful views of Lake Bled and the surrounding hills and mountains. Kupljenik is also a great starting point for a tour to Babji zob (1,128 metres) and the pasture on Jelovica. Every 26 December, Kupljenik hosts the traditional horse blessing in front of the church. The darkness in winter is quite a special feature of Kupljenik, because due to the Jelovica plateau, the sun does not shine there for almost three months. Along the way, you shall cross the Sava Bohinjka River twice – first, you will cross a wilder part of the river, at the second crossing the river will be calmer. The trail leads you to the start of Selo pri Bledu village, where you can continue towards Bled or Radovljica. The trail is also popular with mountain cyclists
