end of road on Pokljuka - Planina pod Mišelj vrhom

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 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 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 Podbrdo 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 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 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 begins to climb 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, and nearby there is also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which shortly 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 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.

Path description:
From the former parking lot at the end of the road, we continue along a wide cart track initially ascending 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 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 levels and takes 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 dairy at planina Konjščica.
From the dairy we 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 begins 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 that in a few more minutes of walking brings us to Jezerc, where the path levels and turns left (here a path branches right to Srenjski preval).
Follows easy walking to a sign indicating 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 have 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 off to Ablanca and Veliki Draški vrh.
From the saddle we 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 a junction where the path from Uskovnica joins from the left.
At all junctions, including the one where a partly abandoned path leading over planina Zgornji Tosc joins, we continue straight, the path gradually brings us to steeper and even 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 joins from the left.
Here we 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.
We continue along the right marked path (left hunting hut and also unmarked shortcut to Planina pod Mišelj vrhom), which soon levels, then continues crossing the slopes below Vodnikov dom. After a few minutes the path turns slightly left and begins descending 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 we continue left (right Velo polje) and continue along the marked path which quickly descends to planina Malo polje. Follows a few minutes walk along the mentioned planina, then the path turns slightly right and brings us to the seasonal lake on planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
We bypass the lake on the right side (slightly left Voje), then in a gentle ascent we climb to the collapsing shepherd huts on planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
