end of road on Pokljuka - Koča na Doliču

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow 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 also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which a little further 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 mountaineering signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park already at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, more appropriately 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, located just a little beyond Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road first ascends steeply, then after Koriti gradually flattens 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, we 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 joining the road from Bled go left and drive to Rudno polje, 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 a little further 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 mountaineering signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park already at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, more appropriately choose the marked path that starts already at Rudno polje.

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

Path description:
From the former parking lot at the end of the road continue on the wide and initially ascending track towards planina Konjščica. The track, entering dense forest immediately, soon levels out and after a few minutes of easy walking turns into a footpath continuing along the left bank of the Ribnica stream. When the path approaches the stream completely it turns slightly right and ascends more steeply. Higher the path levels 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 cheese dairy on planina Konjščica.
From the cheese dairy continue on the pleasant path that brings us in a few minutes of gentle ascent to the upper edge of the planina. Here the path enters the belt of dwarf pines and shrubs and gradually begins to ascend more steeply. In the upper part of the ascent towards Jezerce the path from Rudno polje joins from the right, we continue straight on the moderately steep path that brings us in a few more minutes of walking to Jezerce, where the path levels and turns left (here the path to Srenjski preval branches right).
Follows easy walking to the sign indicating the central area of TNP, then the path begins to ascend moderately along the torrent, initially still a brook. Higher the path switches to the right side of the torrent, viewed from the direction of ascent, and then ascends transversely to Studorski preval, from which a nice view opens to the mountains above Bohinj.
Here a demanding path from Srenjski preval joins from the right, from our path unmarked tracks also branch to Ablanca and Veliki Draški vrh.
From the saddle first descend steeply for a short time, then the path turns to the right direction, we then for a longer time with some shorter easy ascents and descents traverse the slopes to the left. From the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh we gradually arrive at the slopes of the massive Tosc, we with nice views continue past the branch of the path to Tosc and the junction where the path from Uskovnica also joins from the left.
At all junctions, also that one where the 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 some additional caution is needed due to falling stones. Over the precipitous section leads a fairly wide path, so no special difficulties on this part, when the slope becomes less steep then the path from Stara Fužina or Voje valley joins from the left.
Here continue slightly left towards Velo polje (sharply left Voje, straight Vodnikov dom and Velska dolina via the path past Vodnikov dom). The path ahead begins to descend transversely to the right and quickly brings us to an unmarked junction. Continue on the right marked path (left hunter's hut), which soon levels, then continues in traversing the slopes below Vodnikov dom. After a few minutes the path turns slightly left and begins to descend towards Mali and Velo polje. After a short descent the path from Voje valley joins from the left, we continue right and after a few dozen steps arrive at the shepherds' huts on planina Velo polje.
From the planina continue slightly right, i.e. straight, on the path that traverses the extensive planina. On the other side of the planina we reach stone barriers that prevent torrents from burying this wonderful planina. Just a few meters before the mentioned stone barrier the path turns slightly left and ascends into a sparse, mostly larch forest. The path then turns a bit more left and brings us through gentle and lightly vegetated grassy slopes to the aforementioned torrent, where the path leading past Vodnikov dom joins from the right. The path ahead ascends gently along the torrent for some time, then steeply ascends below the cliffs of Šmarjetna glava. The steepness then quickly eases and the increasingly rocky path brings us under the cliffs and screes of surrounding peaks to sedlo Dolič, where there is a marked junction.
Continue straight (left Hribarice, right Dom Planika pod Triglavom) on the path that begins to descend gradually and brings us to Koča na Doliču in less than ten minutes.
