Pri Rupah - Lipanski vrh

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway we take the Lesce exit and follow the road in the direction of Bled, there 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 ascending steeper, we follow to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 m behind the crossroads, where left downwards the road to Bohinj branches off). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture from the main road the road, which runs to Medvedova konta, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Javornik, 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 (Za)Javornik. The road then runs past the mentioned mountain pasture and a good kilometer ahead brings us to a parking lot at the monument to fallen NOB soldiers.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of the Blejska koča mountain hut on Lipanca, which past the NOB monument quickly leads us into the forest. The path, which initially ascends gently, ascends somewhat more steeply after about 10 minutes and brings us to a forest road, which we only cross. We continue on the cart track in the direction of Lipanca, which higher up brings us to the spot where we join the path from the mountain pasture Javornik. A fairly wide path, which all the time runs in the embrace of spruce forests, then higher up brings us to the next junction, where we again continue in the direction of Lipanca (left). 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 the mountain pasture Lipanca. Here the path turns right and leads us in a moderate ascent along the right lower edge of the mentioned mountain pasture. This is followed by traversing a grassy slope and the path, which brings us back into the forest, makes a sharp right turn at the NOB monument, after which we reach the shepherd and mountain hut on the mountain pasture Lipanca.
From the mountain pasture we continue right on an initially poorly visible and even more poorly marked path, which after a short ascent brings us to the upper edge of the mountain pasture, where there is also a smaller junction. We continue slightly left in the direction of Lipanski vrh, Brda and Debela peč on the path which bypasses a larger sinkhole on the right side. Only a little further ahead, the path to Lipanski vrh branches off to the left from the "main" path (right Debela peč). We continue in the direction of Lipanski vrh on the path which transitions from the forest into a belt of dwarf pines and begins to ascend more steeply. A relatively steep and increasingly panoramic path then brings us higher onto the ridge, where the path from the Krma valley joins us. We continue left in the direction of Lipanski vrh on the path which after 5 minutes of further walking brings us to the summit.
