Konec ceste na Pokljuki - Vrh Snežne konte

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 military 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; more appropriately, choose the marked path starting from Rudno polje.
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol petrol station just beyond Bohinjska Bistrica, turn left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road ascends steeply at first, then flattens after Koriti, leading to a junction at the bus station; continue right towards Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the junction we arrive in Jereka, from the junction in front of the church continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road ascends steeply again, higher it flattens along Mrzli potok. When joining the road from Bled, turn left to Rudno polje with large paid parking, barracks and shooting range nearby. Continue straight on gravel to junction, right (left Uskovnica), to former Za Ribnico parking (signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at end prohibited, park at Rudno polje (+40 min); better take 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 cart track enters dense forest immediately, soon flattens and after a few minutes of easy walking becomes a footpath continuing along the left bank of Ribnica stream. When close to the stream it turns slightly right and ascends steeply. Higher it flattens leading from forest to the lower edge of vast planina Konjščica. Here it turns slightly left, crosses the brook and soon reaches the cheese dairy at planina Konjščica.
From the dairy continue on pleasant path gently ascending in a few minutes to upper edge of planina. Path enters scrub and bushes, gradually steepens. In upper part of ascent to Jezerca path from Rudno polje joins from right, continue straight on moderate slope to Jezerca in few minutes, where it flattens turning left (right branches to Srenjski preval).
Easy walking to TNP central area sign, then moderate ascent along torrent initially streamlet. Higher crosses to right side of torrent (ascent direction) and transverses up to Studorski preval with nice view over Bohinj mountains.
Demanding path from Srenjski preval joins from right, unmarked tracks to Ablanca and Veliki Draški vrh branch from ours.
From saddle steep short descent, then path turns right, long traverse leftward slopes with short easy ups and downs. From Veliki Draški vrh slopes gradually to massive Tosc slopes, continue past Tosc branch and junction with Uskovnica path from left amid views.
At all junctions including partly abandoned over planina Zgornji Tosc continue straight, path leads to steeper precipitous SW slopes of Tosc where landslide years ago requires caution for rockfall. Wide path over precipice no issues, less steep path from Stara Fužina/Voje joins left.
Straight on wider marked path to Triglav northwards along W slopes of Tosc, gentle over screes to Vodnikov dom na Velem polju next junction.
Straight to Triglav, transverse ascent Vernar slopes, higher technical. Traverses with chain aid, then steep step with pegs/chains on stone stairs.
Path flattens, slope less steep grassier near Konjsko sedlo.
Easy descent to Konjsko sedlo, marked junction straight to Triglavski dom na Kredarici and Staničev dom pod Triglavom (left Dom Planika, right Krma valley), forks again soon.
Slightly left to Kredarica (right Dom Valentina Staniča), transverse over gullies mostly easy. Path technically harder, aids: mainly chains some pegs.
Below 2300m join easier Krma path, left to Kredarica/Triglav.
Few min later flattens, left branches past Snežne konte/Štapce to Dom Planika, right gentle then up to ridge above Vrh Snežne konte seen below on Kalvarija ascent.
Tens meters before ridge leave marked to Kredarica right into easy pathless. "Path" descends small saddle then up narrowing ridge to Vrh Snežne konte in few min.
