I preferred the views of Bled from Ojstrica to those from Osojnica.

We reached the top of Osojnica at the last moment as the sun was already very low.

The trail from Planina Javorniki was well-trodden.

Soon I reached the Lipanca hut with my destination, Mt. Mrežce, looming over it.
|
|

Looking back towards the valley.
|
|

Blue skies and puffy clouds.
|
|

From here on there was no defined trail and I had to trudge through the heavy snow.

This was the good part of the trail. ;)
