Konec ceste na Pokljuki - Dom Planika

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow signs for Bled and Pokljuka. Continue driving through Gorje and past the Zatrnik ski slope to Rudno polje on Pokljuka, where there is a large paid parking lot, nearby also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico, located at the end of the road (nearby are mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more appropriate to choose the marked path that starts already at Rudno polje.
b) From Železniki or Podbrd drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol gas station, located just after Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road first ascends steeply, then gradually flattens after Koriti and brings us to a junction at the bus stop, where we continue right towards Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the junction we arrive at Jereka, but from the junction in front of the church continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road starts ascending more steeply again, higher it flattens and continues along Mrzli potok. When we join the road from Bled, go left and drive to Rudno polje, where there is a large paid parking lot, nearby also military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico, located at the end of the road (nearby are mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more appropriate to choose the marked path that starts already at Rudno polje.

Traffic regime in the Pokljuka and Uskovnica area from 15.6. to 15.10.

Route description:
From the former parking lot at the end of the road, continue on the wide and initially ascending cart track towards planina Konjščica. The cart track, which immediately enters dense forest, soon levels out and after a few minutes of easy walking turns into a footpath that continues along the left bank of the Ribnica stream. When the path gets close to the stream, it turns slightly right and ascends more steeply. Higher up, the path levels out and leads us from the forest to the lower edge of the vast planina Konjščica. Here the path turns slightly left, crosses the streamlet and after a few more steps brings us to the dairy at planina Konjščica.
From the dairy, continue on the pleasant path that in a few minutes of gentle ascent brings us to the upper edge of the planina. Here the path enters a belt of dwarf pines and shrubs and gradually starts ascending more steeply. In the upper part of the ascent towards Jezerce, the path from Rudno polje joins us from the right, we continue straight on the moderately steep path that in a few more minutes of walking brings us to Jezerce, where the path levels out and turns left (here the path to Srenjski preval branches right).
Followed by easy walking to the sign indicating the central area of TNP, then the path begins to ascend moderately along the torrent, initially still a streamlet. Higher up, the path crosses to the right side of the torrent (viewed from the ascent direction) and then transversely ascends to Studorski preval, where the demanding path from Srenjski preval joins us from the right.
From the pass, from where we have a nice view of the Bohinj side, continue straight (left Ablanca, right Veliki Draški vrh and sharply right Srenjski preval) on the path that starts descending and after a few steps turns right. Followed by a short descent, then the path continues traversing, first the slopes below Veliki Draški vrh and later Tosc. When we reach the bare southern slopes of Tosc, we come to a small junction where an unmarked path to Tosc branches right (the junction to Tosc is marked, but the path is not). Just a few steps further, the path from Uskovnica joins us quite inconspicuously from the left.
Continue straight on the scenic path that starts turning more to the right, meanwhile transitioning to steeper slopes of Tosc. Further on, we reach an artificially carved rock ledge, over which runs a wide path exposed to falling rocks (caution - active rockfall!). We cross the mentioned ledge in a slight descent, then the path turns left and for a short time ascends on a somewhat narrower path. Further on, the path levels out and transitions to less steep slopes. A little further, we reach a marked junction where the path from Voje valley joins us from the left.
Continue straight towards Vodnikov dom (slightly left Velo polje) on the gentle path, from which we soon get a nice view of Triglav. The path further returns under the slopes of Tosc and by traversing scree brings us in a few minutes to Vodnikov dom na Velem polju.
From the hut continue straight towards Triglav (slightly left Koča na Doliču, right upwards Bohinjska vratca).
The path further ascends moderately and traverses the slopes below Vernar. Soon we encounter the first fixed cable that helps us "overcome" a short ledge. The path further ascends through scree and then brings us to a steep rock step. A well-protected path brings us via steep steps to the top of this step. Followed by a few meters of traversing on a steep slope, then the path brings us to open areas near Konjsko sedlo, which we reach after a short descent.
From the saddle continue left towards Planika (straight Kredarica and Staničev dom, right Krma) on a relatively steep path that ascends transversely towards the west. Higher up, the increasingly scenic path brings us to an indistinct ridge, where it turns right and temporarily levels out somewhat. Further, the marked path bypasses a larger sinkhole on the right side, then starts turning towards the left. Followed by about ten minutes of ascent and the path brings us to Dom Planika pod Triglavom.
