The trail starts from the pillar at the bus station in Rateče. Head through the village towards east, cross the main road and go to a parking lot. From there it should take 10 minutes to reach Zelenci, a source of the Sava River. When returning, you can head towards Podkoren; after several 100 metres cross the Sava River and, passing the chairlift, return to Rateče on the cycling track. An area called Zelenci is a nature reserve where a few rare and indigenous plant and animal species live. The area was researched by Sir Humprey Davy, a renowned natural scientist and inventor. A special feature of Zelenci is the constant water temperature, varying between 5 and 6 degrees Celsius irrespective of air temperature.
