Konec ceste na Pokljuki - Jezerski Stog

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow the signs for Bled and Pokljuka. Continue through Gorje and past the Zatrnik ski slope to Rudno polje on Pokljuka, where there is a large paid parking lot, nearby there is also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which a little further brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former Za Ribnico parking lot, which is at the end of the road (nearby there are mountaineering 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; it is more appropriate to choose the marked path that starts already at Rudno polje.
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol gas station, which is just a little after Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereke. The road first climbs steeply, then gradually flattens after Koriti and brings us to a junction at the bus stop, where we continue right towards Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereke (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the junction we arrive in Jereke, but from the junction in front of the church we continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereke the road starts climbing more steeply again, higher up it flattens and continues along the Mrzli potok stream. When we join the road from Bled, go left and drive to Rudno polje, where there is a large paid parking lot, nearby there is also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which a little further brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former Za Ribnico parking lot, which is at the end of the road (nearby there are mountaineering 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; 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 along the wide and initially ascending cart track towards planina Konjščica. The cart track, which immediately enters dense forest, soon flattens and after a few minutes of easy walking turns into a hiking path 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 flattens and leads us from the forest to the lower edge of the vast planina Konjščica. Here the path turns slightly left, crosses the stream and after a few more steps brings us to the cheese dairy on planina Konjščica.
From the cheese dairy, continue along a 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 to ascend more steeply. In the upper part of the ascent towards Jezerc, the path from Rudno polje joins from the right, we continue straight along the moderately steep path, which in a few more minutes of walking brings us to Jezerce, where the path flattens and turns left (here a path branches right to Srenjski preval).
Followed by easy walking to a sign indicating the central area of TNP, then the path begins to ascend moderately along a torrent, initially still a stream. Higher up, the path crosses to the right side of the torrent (viewed from the ascent direction) and then ascends transversely to Studorski preval, from which we get a nice view of the mountains above Bohinj.
Here a demanding path from Srenjski preval joins from the right, and from our path unmarked trails also branch to Ablanca and Veliki Draški vrh.
From the saddle, first descend steeply for a short time, then the path turns right, and we then cross the slopes to the left for a longer time with some shorter easy ascents and descents. From the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh we gradually arrive at the slopes of the massive Tosc, we continue with nice views past the branch to Tosc and the junction where the path from Uskovnica also joins from the left.
At all junctions, including the one where a partly abandoned path leading over planina Zgornji Tosc joins, continue straight, the path gradually brings us to steeper and also precipitous southwest slopes of Tosc mountain, where there was a landslide a few years ago, so extra caution is needed due to falling rocks. Across the precipitous section runs a fairly wide path, so there are no special difficulties in this part, but when the slope becomes less steep, the path from Stara Fužina or Voje valley also joins from the left.
Here continue slightly left towards Velo polje (sharply left Voje, straight Vodnikov dom). The path ahead begins to descend transversely to the right and quickly brings us to an unmarked junction.
Continue along the right marked path (left hunting hut and also unmarked shortcut to Planina pod Mišelj vrhom), which soon flattens, then continues crossing the slopes below Vodnikov dom. After a few minutes, the path turns slightly left and begins to descend towards Malo polje and Velo polje. After a short descent, we reach a small saddle between Malo polje on the left and Velo polje on the right. Here continue left (right Velo polje) and follow the marked path, which quickly descends to planina Malo polje. Followed by a few minutes of walking across the mentioned planina, then the path turns slightly right and brings us to a seasonal lake on planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
Bypass the small lake on the right side (slightly left Voje), then in a gentle ascent climb to the collapsing shepherd huts on planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
On planina pod Mišelj vrhom we reach a junction where a marked path to Mišeljski preval branches right, we continue straight along the also marked path, which gradually starts to ascend more steeply. Higher up, the path crosses a belt of larch forest, then steeply ascends over initially rocky and then grassy slopes. After almost an hour of walking from planina pod Mišelj vrhom, the path flattens, and it brings us in a few more steps to Jezerski preval, where we leave the markings.
From the saddle continue left (straight down planina Jezerce) and follow the initially gentle path that crosses increasingly steep grassy slopes to the south. A little further we reach a scenic and occasionally precipitous ridge, the path quickly brings us to the summit slope of Jezerski Stog, where it starts steeply ascending along crumbly slopes. Follow this in the last part quite steep and slippery path all the way to the scenic summit, which we reach after five more minutes of walking.
