Rudno polje - Debeli vrh above Lipanca (via Zgornji Razor)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, we take the Lesce exit and continue on the road towards Bled. In Bled, at the traffic lights, the signs for Pokljuka direct us to the right. We continue driving through Gorje and past the abandoned Zatrnik ski resort to Rudno polje on Pokljuka (large parking lot, barracks and shooting range).

Route description:
The described path runs through a quiet area of the TNP and is closed after the introduction of the zone.


From the parking lot, we head onto the forest road (direction Triglav), along which we ascend gently for ten minutes to the Viševnik ski slope. Here the signs lead us to the right (the path to Triglav continues along the road) onto the marked footpath, which then moderately ascends along the edge of the forest and beside the lift of the nearby ski slope. Higher up we again step onto the road, which we follow to the right (straight Viševnik). We continue along the road, which first crosses the ski slope (planina Krasce), then enters the forest and splits into two parts.
We continue left (straight to Blejska koča) and proceed along the forest road closed to public traffic, which quickly brings us to a short scenic section of the path. Here the road turns sharply left and brings us back into the forest in a slight ascent. Somewhat higher the road turns right, then begins to descend gradually.
When the road begins to descend, pay attention, as a poorer unmarked cart track will soon branch off to the left.
We continue along this cart track, which brings us in 3 minutes to a kind of clearing or cut area. Here we ascend straight up the clearing, where we notice an old hunting trail, along which we continue the ascent. The trail then leads us into the forest, where it temporarily becomes completely flat. For a short time we continue along an indistinct small valley, where we can observe numerous karst phenomena (sinkholes, Škraplje and the like), then we move onto gentle slopes, where the path slowly begins to disappear, but at least for now there are no major problems with following the path. The path ahead crosses the slopes to the right for some time, then brings us to the lower part of the Zgornji Razor valley. Here the barely visible trail turns somewhat to the left and continues ascending along the edge of the mentioned valley. Initially we ascend on the right side, then the trail, which disappears several times, slowly crosses to the left side of the valley, where it then ascends under steep slopes. During the ascent we have to step over some fallen trees, and the path, which is no longer a real path, brings us out of the forest onto increasingly scenic slopes. Here we continue straight along the widening valley, and after a few minutes of further walking we step onto the marked path leading from Blejska koča towards Srenjski preval.
When we step onto the mentioned marked path, we follow it to the left, which quickly brings us to a marked junction, where the path to Debeli vrh branches off to the right.
We continue in the mentioned direction (slightly left Viševnik) and follow the initially less trodden path, which quickly enters the dwarf pine belt. In a moderate ascent through the dwarf pine, partly over grassy slopes, with increasingly beautiful views, we quickly reach the summit.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
