Planina Zajavornik - Viševnik

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the Lesce exit and follow the road in the direction of Bled, where at the traffic-light crossroads signs for Pokljuka direct us to the right. This road, which in the lower part runs through some villages and later starts to ascend more steeply, we follow to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 meters behind the crossroads, where the road to Bohinj branches off left downwards). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture from the main road, the road which runs to Medvedova konta, monument Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik branches off to the right. Here we turn right and in the next crossroads we follow the road in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik. The road then brings us to the parking lot near the mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of Blejska koča. The path, which initially ascends gently through spruce forest, a little higher crosses a forest road, after which the path from the NOB monument (Pri Rupah) soon joins us from the left. The fairly wide path, which all the time runs in the embrace of spruce forests, then brings us higher to the next junction, where we continue left towards Lipanca (right Medvedova konta). We continue the ascent on a very wide cart track, which in a gentle ascent brings us in a few minutes to the grazing area of mountain pasture Lipanca. Here the path turns right and leads us in moderate ascent along the right lower edge of the mentioned mountain pasture. This is followed by crossing a grassy slope and the path, which brings us back into the forest, makes a sharp right turn at the NOB memorial plaque, after which we reach the shepherd and mountain hut on mountain pasture Lipanca.
From the hut we continue left in the direction of Viševnik and Mrežce on the path, from which soon left downwards the path to Rudno polje branches off. We continue straight and the moderately steep path brings us after a short ascent to the next junction, where we continue in the direction of Viševnik (right Mrežce - steep path). The path then, in a gentle descent, crosses an avalanche-prone area in unfavourable conditions and on the other side starts to ascend gently. The path ascends through increasingly sparse forest and soon brings us to the junction below the summit of Mrežce.
We continue left (right Mrežce 15 minutes) on the path which crosses the southern slopes of the less known peak (Vrh Razora), after which we come to the next junction.
Here to the right branches the path to Debeli vrh, while we continue slightly left on the path which bypasses the aforementioned peak on the left side. With views of the Pokljuka plateau and Lower Bohinj Mountains, for some time we cross occasionally somewhat steeper slopes, then, after the second turn-off to Debeli vrh branches to the right, we arrive at Solnice (at Solnice is the lowest point of the ridge between Tosc and Debela peč).
From Solnice a nice view opens into Krma and the mountains which rise steeply above it. The path ahead passes into Blejska konta (small valley between Veliki Selišnik and Draški rob), where it first ascends gently, then ever more steeply. After a short steep ascent the path quickly flattens and brings us into the plateau-like terrain south of Draški rob. A few minutes of gentle ascent follow, then we descend a few dozen steps to the next junction, where we continue right (straight down Rudno polje) in the direction of Srenjski preval and Viševnik, which we reach after a few minutes of further walking.
From Srenjski preval we continue left (straight down Jezerce, right Studorski preval and Mali Draški vrh) on the path which traverses up across a relatively crumbly slope (slip hazard). Higher the path passes to the west side of the ridge and levels out somewhat. A traversing ascent follows on the path which runs along the main ridge of Viševnik. Just a few metres below the summit the path crosses a short exposed traverse, then without major difficulties we step onto the summit of Viševnik.
