Rudno polje - Blejska koča na Lipanci

Access to starting point:
A) From Bled or Jesenice we drive to Zatrnik, then we continue driving towards Pokljuka. When we get to Pokljuka we always stick to the main road, and we drive along it to a large well-maintained parking lot on Rudno polje.
B) From Železniki or Podbrdo we drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then we continue driving in the direction of Bled. Soon after the Petrol gas station, which is located only a little after Bohinjska Bistrica, we continue driving left in the direction of Pokljuka and Jereka. Further on, the road first steeply ascends, then after Korita gradually flattens and brings us to a crossroad by the bus stop, where we continue right in the direction of Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the crossroad we get to Jereka, and from the crossroad in front of the church we continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road again starts ascending steeper, higher it flattens and continues by the Mrzli potok, where the road to Koprivnik v Bohinju branches off to the left, and we continue straight towards Pokljuka and Gorjuše. After Gorjuše the road passes into the forest, and we drive along it to a crossroad, where we join the road from Bled. Here we continue left, then on the main road we drive to a large parking lot on Rudno polje.

Path description:
From the parking lot first we carefully cross the road, then we continue on a macadam road in the direction of Triglav, Viševnik and Blejska koča na Lipanci. On a fairly gentle road we walk approximately 10 minutes, then we arrive at the ski slope Viševnik, where we leave the road and continue right with the path in the direction of Viševnik and Srenjski preval (further on the road Triglav, Vodnikov dom and Studorski preval). The path ahead leads us left from the ski slope, on a trail that runs through the edge of the forest. After a short ascent we return to the macadam road, which we reach at the place where the marked path towards Viševnik continues straight upwards, and we follow the road to the right, thus crossing the ski slope. The road quickly takes us into the forest and to a crossroad, where we continue on the lower right road, at the next crossroad again right, both times in the direction of Lipanca. After the second crossroad we arrive at the sandpit Rudno polje, a little further, after a short descent, the signs for the mountain pasture Lipanca and Blejska koča direct us left into the forest. Through the forest at several junctions we follow the blazes, then a little higher we cross a macadam road. After crossing the road the path becomes somewhat steeper and mainly ascends across to the right. Higher the forest begins to thin, and on the left we notice the watering place for animals (often without water). From here there follows still a few minutes of ascent, then we arrive at a junction, where we continue right downwards (left Viševnik and Mrežce) and in a minute or two of further walking descend to Blejska koča na Lipanci.
