DESCRIPTION OF THE ROUTE
The first meadow we’ll stop at is wet, so it supports marsh plants: the rare carnivorous Pinguicula vulgaris, Eriophorum latifolium, Dactylorhiza incarnata, Valeriana dioica.

Walk along the edge of the meadow to the Kobla 2 starting point and admire the typical meadow plants. Cross the road and continue to the upper part of the Kobla 1 ski slope. It is home to 8 species of cuckoos flower, some of which are very abundant: the Fuchs’ finger (Dactylorhiza maculata ssp. Fuchsii), the flesh-red finger (Dactylorhiza incarnata), the helmeted (Orchis militaris), the common clouded (Traunsteinera globosa), the dotted-flowered (Orchis ustulata), the egg-leaved toadflax (Listera ovata), the two-leaved wigweed (Platanthera bifolia), the common (Orchis conopsea), and the (Orchis ustulata), which is also known as the common cuckooflower. You can also see Iris graminea, Phyteuma ovatum, Valeriana officinalis, etc.
Again we go across the road and walk along the edge of the Kobla 2 ski slope. Along the trail you can see Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum verticillatum), cross-leaved honeysuckle (Gentiana cruciata). At the first levelling we take a breather and admire the beautiful view of Bohinj and the mountains. We continue towards the former hut of Janez Mencinger. Already in front of the hut, we turn into the woods, where we see white carpets of tiny two-leaved shade plants (Maianthemum bifolium) and the last cuckoo plant of the day: the brown nesting cuckoo (Neottia nidus-avis).
Returning along the road, we see the hardy silver nettle (Lunaria rediviva), the dill-leaved liverwort (Veronica urticifolia), the large-flowered dead nettle (Lamium orvala) …
