Pri Rupah - Viševnik

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 intersection 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 intersection, where the road to Bohinj branches off left downward). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture from the main road a road branches off to the right, which leads to Medvedova konta, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Javornik. Here we turn right and in the following intersections 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 further brings us to the 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 on Lipanca, which past the NOB monument quickly leads us into the forest. The path, which at first ascends gently, ascends somewhat more steeply after a good 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 brings us to the spot where we join the path from mountain pasture Javornik. A considerably wide path, which all the time runs in the embrace of spruce forests, then brings us higher 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 in a few minutes brings us to the grazing area of 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 crossing 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 come to 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 downward the path toward Rudno polje branches off. We continue straight and the moderately steep path after a short ascent brings us 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 unfavorable conditions and on the other side starts to ascend gently. The path ascends through increasingly sparse forest and soon brings us to a junction below the summit of Mrežc.
We continue left (right Mrežce 15 minutes) on the path which crosses the southern slopes of the less known summit (Vrh Razora), after which we come to the next junction.
Here to the right branches off the path to Debeli vrh, while we continue slightly left on the path which bypasses the already mentioned summit on the left side. With views of the Pokljuka plateau and Spodnje Bohinjske gore, for some time we cross occasionally somewhat steeper slopes, then, after the second branch-off to Debeli vrh goes 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 that rise steeply above it. The path ahead transitions 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 for some 10 steps to the next junction, where we continue right (straight downward 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 downward Jezerce, right Studorski preval and Mali Draški vrh) on the path which ascends across a relatively crumbly slope (danger of slipping). Higher the path passes to the western side of the ridge and flattens somewhat. A traversing ascent follows on the path which runs along the main ridge of Viševnik. Just a few meters below the summit the path crosses a shorter exposed traverse, then without major difficulties we step onto the summit of Viševnik.
