end of road on Pokljuka - Mali Triglav (via Kredarica)

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow the 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, and nearby there is also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which shortly afterwards 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 there 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 suitable 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, located just beyond Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road first climbs steeply, then after Koriti gradually flattens and takes 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 in Jereka, but from the junction in front of the church we continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road begins to climb more steeply again, higher up it flattens and continues along the Mrzli potok stream. When joining the road from Bled, go left and drive to Rudno polje, where there is a large paid parking lot, and nearby a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which shortly afterwards 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 there 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 suitable 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.

Path description:
From the former parking lot at the end of the road, continue along the wide cart track initially ascending 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 a streamlet 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 takes us to the upper edge of the planina. Here the path enters a belt of dwarf pines and shrubs and gradually begins to ascend more steeply. In the upper part of the ascent towards Jezerca, the path from Rudno polje joins from the right, we continue straight along the moderately steep path that in a few more minutes brings us to Jezerca, where the path flattens and turns left (here a path branches right to Srenjski preval).
Follow easy walking to a sign marking the central area of TNP, then the path begins to ascend moderately along a 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, 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 traverse 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 reach the slopes of the massive Tosc, we continue with nice views past the branch to Tosc and a junction where the path from Uskovnica also joins from the left.
At all junctions, including the one where a partially abandoned path leading over planina Zgornji Tosc joins, continue straight, the path gradually takes 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. Over the precipitous section runs a fairly wide path, so there are no special difficulties in this part, when the slope becomes less steep, the path from Stara Fužina or Voje valley also joins from the left.
Continue straight along the wider marked path towards Triglav, which continues north, leading us along the western slopes of Tosc, the still gentle path takes us over some scree to Vodnikov dom on Velem polju, where the next junction is.
Here too continue straight towards Triglav, the path begins to ascend transversely along the slopes of Vernar, higher up it also becomes technically demanding. Follow some traversing aided by a fixed cable, higher up we reach a steep step where we ascend rocky steps with the help of numerous pegs and a fixed cable.
The path ahead flattens, the slope becomes less steep and near Konjsko sedlo also somewhat more grassy.
Easily descend to Konjsko sedlo, from the marked junction on the saddle head straight on the path towards Triglavski dom on Kredarica and Staničev dom pod Triglavom (left Dom Planika pod Triglavom, right Krma valley), just a few steps ahead the path forks again.
Continue slightly left towards Kredarica (slightly right Dom Valentina Staniča) and then ascend transversely over numerous gullies, where crossing them is mostly not demanding. Further on the path becomes technically more difficult and on some sections we are aided by some safety devices, mainly fixed cables, some pegs too.
At an altitude of just under 2300 meters we join the technically easier path from Krma valley, we continue left towards Kredarica and Triglav.
When a few minutes further the path flattens even more, a path branches left past Snežna konta and over Štapce towards Dom Planika pod Triglavom, we continue right and first continue fairly gently, then ascend to the ridge above Vrh Snežne konte, the summit of which we saw from below during the ascent over Kalvarija.
Here the path becomes steeper again, we follow it all the way to Triglavski dom on Kredarica.
In front of the hut, at the chapel of Marija Snežna, the path from Kot valley joins from the right, passing Dom Valentina Staniča, we continue along the left side of the hut and behind the hut the path from Vrata valley joins from the right, namely the paths over Prag and Tominškova pot.
Continue left towards Triglav and descend on a still technically undemanding path to Ledeniški preval, from where we begin to ascend towards the wall of Mali Triglav. Here follow the marks and the larger mark visible from afar, near which the very demanding path to Triglav begins.
Initially ascend a not yet very steep slope with the help of some pegs and individual fixed cables, when reaching the wall of Mali Triglav we begin to ascend transversely to the left, where fixed cables were added to the pegs a few years ago to allow self-belaying with a via ferrata set. Follow some quite steep and exposed ascents, take care not to slip, on the section with loose rocks be careful not to dislodge stones as it can be deadly dangerous for hikers below. The path ahead is fairly narrow and with a larger number of visitors queues can form due to difficult passing between hikers.
Higher up the steepness eases and from the left the path from Dom Planika pod Triglavom joins, namely the path over Mali Triglav, which we reach shortly afterwards.
