Pri Rupah - Mrežce (via Lipanski vrh)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, we take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled; there, at the traffic-light intersection, signs for Pokljuka direct us to the right. We follow this road, which in the lower part runs through some villages and later starts to ascend more steeply, to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 meters behind the intersection, where the road to Bohinj branches off to the left downwards). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture, the road which runs to Medvedova konta, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Javornik branches off to the right from the main road. 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 fighters.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of Blejska koča mountain hut on Lipanca, which past the NOB monument quickly leads us into the forest. The path, which initially ascends gently, after a good 10 minutes ascends somewhat more steeply 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. The considerably wide path, which all the time runs in the embrace of spruce forests, 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 again brings us 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 on the right side bypasses a larger sinkhole. Only a little further ahead, the path towards Lipanski vrh branches off to the left from the "main" path (right to 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 starts to ascend more steeply. The relatively steep and increasingly scenic path higher up brings us 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.
From Lipanski vrh, we continue along the secured ridge in the direction of Mrežce. The path leads us with the aid of fixed safety gear along the ridge downwards to the notch between Lipanski vrh and Mrežce. A few more steps of descent follow, then with the aid of fixed safety gear we ascend the undemanding summit slope to the summit of Mrežce.
