end of road on Pokljuka - Triglavski dom na Kredarici

Access to starting point:
From the Gorenjska motorway we exit at Lesce and follow the signs for Bled and Pokljuka. We drive through Gorje and past the ski slope Zatrnik to Rudno polje on Pokljuka (large paid parking lot, barracks and shooting range). From here we continue straight on a macadam road which a little further brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). We follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico at the end of the road (nearby are signposts for mountain pasture Konjščica).

Path description:
From the former parking lot at the end of the road we continue on a wide initially ascending cart track in the direction of planina Konjščica. The cart track, which goes immediately into dense forest, levels out quickly and after a few minutes of easy walking turns into a footpath that continues along the left bank of 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 takes us from the forest to the lower edge of the extensive planina Konjščica. Here the path turns slightly left, crosses a streamlet and after a few more steps brings us to the cheese cottage on planina Konjščica.
From the cheese cottage we continue on a pleasant path that brings us to the upper edge of the planina in a few minutes of gentle ascent. 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 to Jezerce the path from Rudno polje joins from the right, we continue straight on the moderately steep path which in a few more minutes of walking brings us to Jezerce, where the path levels out and turns left (here a path to Srenjski preval branches right).
Easy walking follows to the sign indicating the central area of TNP, then the path begins to ascend moderately along a torrent, initially a streamlet. Higher up the path crosses to the right side of the torrent (viewed from the direction of ascent) and then ascends diagonally to Studorski preval, from which a nice view opens onto the mountains above Bohinj.
Here a difficult path from Srenjski preval joins from the right, and from our path unmarked paths also branch to Ablanca and Veliki Draški vrh.
From the saddle we first descend steeply for a short time, then the path turns right, and we cross the slopes to the left for a longer time with some short easy ascents and descents. From the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh we gradually reach the slopes of the massive Tosc, continuing amid nice views past the branch to Tosc and the junction where the path from Uskovnica joins from the left.
On all junctions, including the one where the partly abandoned path over planina Zgornji Tosc joins, we continue straight; the path gradually brings us to steeper and even precipitous southwest slopes of Tosc, where there was a landslide a few years ago, so extra caution is needed due to falling stones. Across the precipitous section runs a quite wide path, so there are no special difficulties here; when the slope becomes less steep, the path from Stara Fužina or Voje valley joins from the left.
We continue straight on the wider marked path towards Triglav, which heads north along the western slopes of Tosc; the still gentle path takes us over some scree fields to Vodnikov dom on Velem polju, where the next junction is.
Here too we continue straight towards Triglav; the path begins to ascend diagonally across the slopes of Vernar and higher becomes technically demanding. Some crossing sections follow, aided by a fixed cable; higher we reach a steep jump, where with the aid of numerous pegs and a cable we ascend rocky steps.
Ahead the path levels out, the slope becomes less steep and near Konjsko sedlo somewhat more grassy.
We easily descend to Konjsko sedlo; from the marked junction at the saddle we head straight on the path towards Triglavski dom na Kredarici and Staničev dom pod Triglavom (left Dom Planika pod Triglavom, right Krma valley); a few steps ahead the path forks again.
We continue slightly left towards Kredarica (slightly right Dom Valentina Staniča) and diagonally ascend across numerous gullies, where crossing them is generally not demanding. Further the path becomes technically more difficult and on some sections fixed protections, mainly cables and some pegs, aid safer progress.
At an elevation of just under 2300 m we join the technically easier path from Krma valley, continuing left towards Kredarica and Triglav.
A few minutes ahead, where the path levels further, a path branches left past Snežna konta and over Štapce to Dom Planika pod Triglavom; we continue right, initially gently, then ascending to the ridge above Vrh Snežne konta, which we viewed from below during the ascent over Kalvarija.
Here the path becomes steeper again, and we follow it all the way to Triglavski dom na Kredarici.
