     The trail to Rčitna and Kavca brings you to almost 1,000 metres, but the trail is quite flat, so it is not very difficult. First walk through the Slamniki village with its secluded farms. If you use the turning from the main path, which will take 5 minutes of your time, you can also enjoy the view from Iglica hill. Rčitno is a vast meadow plateau that is frequently visited by mountain cyclists and horse riders. When descending to Bled, turn to the secluded Kavca alpine meadow surrounded by pine forests that create a true oasis of peace. You can meet wild animals like roes and mouflons, as well as rich flora along the way.

    Safety information

    •  Due to its length and the almost 500-metre climb, the trail is demanding, and therefore not suitable for all.
    • There are no restaurants and shops along the circular trail, so we recommend you bring enough drinks and food with you.
    • In the first part, the trail is marked with typical Bled fingerposts, and subsequently with blazes and red way signs.

    BOHINJSKA BELA – VILLAGE CENTRE – SLAMNIKI – RČITNO – KAVCA – VILLAGE CENTRE – BOHINJSKA BELA

    Start in the village centre of Bohinjska Bela, cross the road and go past the village manger. Turn left at the wayside shrine and follow the Belca brook. Turn left under the railway underpass. The trail ascends slightly to Brezje settlement with only 4 houses. Make a turn to the Iglica Waterfall which is only 5 minutes away. Continue up the hill and continue on the stone road. Turn right at the next crossroads. Turn right at the crossroads and you will come to the first farm "Pri Blažu". There is a memorial plaque at the front of the house, because this was the site where, on 20 April 1941, Slovene people made a pact to fight the country’s occupier. Continue along the path above the house and stay on the main path. After a 100-metre change in altitude you reach the following two farms, from where you can enjoy beautiful views. After 100 metres turn right and right again, then continue to the Rčitno plateau. Continue along the forest on the left side, where you come to a cart path, where you continue across the highest point to the lower plateau. There, a board directs you to the forest road that soon starts descending towards the valley. After approximately 15 minutes, info boards direct you to the right, onto a new forest road. At the bird feeder, the path turns right again. Continue to Kavca. Cross a meadow and descend on the cart path to the forest, cross the Belca brook and reach the asphalt road where you started your hike. Return to the starting point.
