From Kropa to Mežakla (and back)

From Kropa, we descend through the village of Brezovica, past Spodnja and Zgornja Lipnica, where you turn left at the crossroads and start climbing along the macadam road to the hut on the Zgoška ravan plateau. The climb is more than 8 km long. In the hut, you can have a rest and taste local and homemade dishes. Then we continue downhill to the turn-off for Talež, which is on the left-hand side, and after a good kilometer of driving along a forest road, we reach a hunters' cottage. Here you can also enjoy a typical Gorenjska dish before continuing on your way.

Talež offers one of the most beautiful views of the Karavanke Mountains, the Julian Mountains, and Lake Bled and its surroundings. We can return to the hostel along the same route or take the adrenaline rush down into the valley and climb back up the macadam road to Talež, then return to Kropa along the more preserved road past Lipnica and Kamna Gorica. The route is demanding, so physical condition is recommended.
