Konec ceste na Pokljuki - Viševnik (via source of Zlata voda)

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 barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly brings us to a junction, continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former Za Ribnico parking lot at the end of the road (nearby mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park at Rudno polje, extending the route by about 40 minutes; better to choose the marked path starting at Rudno polje.
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol gas station just beyond Bohinjska Bistrica, turn left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road rises steeply first, then flattens after Koriti and leads to a junction at the bus stop, continue right towards Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after junction reach Jereka, from junction before church continue straight to Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka road rises steeply again, higher flattens along Mrzli potok. Upon joining road from Bled go left to Rudno polje with large paid parking, barracks and shooting range nearby. Continue straight on gravel to junction (right, left Uskovnica), then to former Za Ribnico parking (signs for planina Konjščica nearby).
Parking at end prohibited, park at Rudno polje (+40 min), better marked path from there.

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

Route description:
From the former parking lot at the end of the road, continue on the wide initially ascending cart track towards planina Konjščica. The track enters dense forest immediately, levels quickly, and after a few minutes of easy walking becomes a footpath along the left bank of Ribnica stream. When close to the stream, it turns slightly right and ascends steeply. Higher it levels and leads from forest to the lower edge of extensive Konjščica. Here path turns slightly left, crosses streamlet, and reaches where marked path crosses next streamlet. Just before, unmarked path branches right to marked Rudno polje - Triglav path. Continue right (left sirarna on planina Konjščica, Vodnikov dom na Velem polju, Triglav...), ascend few steps out of stream bed, trail temporarily disappears and levels. Across pasture east or more right until trail clearer. After torrent gully crossing, trail clearer with views to surrounding mountains, ascends steeply. Higher enters forest, quickly to marked Rudno polje - Triglav on a ridge.
Follow marked path left downhill only to first torrent crossing. At torrent leave marked path, ascend along it straight up initially. Soon see predecessor traces, higher nice traceable trail (or via path from ridge into forest, start not visible). Trail crosses streamlet right, then curves left semicircle across meadow (invisible), reappears near stream, crosses and ascends transversely. Ascends to small valley, disappears. When valley flattens go right, soon clearer trail. After 1-2 min notice small cairn, path splits: left to saddle Viševnik-Plesišče, straight joins Rudno polje - Viševnik at Zlate vode.
Continue straight, transverse ascent on Plesišče slopes. Higher reach its ridge, ascend briefly, then slightly right to east slopes. Few min transverse, onto pasture trail fades. Same direction, luck to Zlata voda source.
From source straight/slightly left, join marked Rudno polje - Viševnik at signed junction (to Blejska koča na Lipanci, saddle Plesišče-Viševnik). Continue left, quick ascent to saddle with view.
At saddle on marked Rudno polje - Viševnik, follow left. Path moderate then steep through dwarf pines. Higher ends, to mini pass with view. Steeper scenic grassy slope, turns right traverse to Viševnik ridge, better view to Rjavina surroundings. Along/on ridge moderate ascent. Short traverse under summit, steep (icy winter), few min to panoramic summit.
