Rudno polje - Dom Valentina Staniča

Access to starting point:
From Bled or Bohinj, follow the signs for Pokljuka, but we follow the road to Rudno polje, where we park at the paid parking lot or the free military parking lot.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, a gravel road branches off to the right, next to which there are signposts for Triglav. We head onto the mentioned road, which gently ascends and after ten minutes of walking brings us to the Viševnik ski slope. We continue along the road, from which a marked path towards Triglav soon branches off to the left.
We continue in the direction of Triglav and after a few minutes of moderate ascent, we reach a forest road, which we follow for just a few meters (it used to be possible to drive by car up to here). The marked path then turns right and ascends more steeply for a short time, after ten minutes the steepness eases, and the path gradually leads onto steep slopes. Across the steep slopes, the path mostly gently descends and turns increasingly to the right. A bit further on, we will notice the Konjščica pasture to our left below us. Our path then stops descending and transitions from the forest into the bushes. The path, which ascends again, then leads us under steep cliffs and soon after brings us to a junction where we join the path from Konjščica pasture.
From here follows a short ascent and the path brings us to a beautiful valley called Jezerce, where it forks. There are also signposts here that direct us left (right Srenjski preval, Viševnik Blejska koča na Lipanci...) and the initially gentle path brings us to the spring below Studorski preval. After the spring, the path gradually becomes steeper, from the left side of the torrent it higher up crosses to the right side, where we enter a grassy slope, the path we are ascending is still rocky. An ascent in a few switchbacks follows and we climb to Studorski preval, from which we have a beautiful view of the mountains above Bohinj.
Here, a demanding path from Srenjski preval joins us from the right, and from our path, unmarked trails also branch off to Ablanca and Veliki Draški vrh.
From the saddle, we first descend more steeply for a short time, then the path turns to the right, and we then cross the slopes to the left for a long time with some shorter easy ascents and descents. From the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh, we gradually reach the slopes of the massive Tosc, we continue with beautiful views past the branch-off to Tosc and the junction where the path from Uskovnica joins us from the left.
At all junctions, including the one where a partially abandoned path leading over Planina Zgornji Tosc joins us, we continue straight, the path gradually brings us to steeper and even precipitous southwest slopes of Tosc mountain, where there was a landslide a few years ago, so some extra caution is needed due to falling rocks. Across the precipitous section runs a fairly wide path, so there are no special difficulties in this part, but when the slope becomes less steep, the path from Stara Fužina or Voje valley joins us from the left.
We continue straight on the wider marked path towards Triglav, which continues north, leading us along the western slopes of Tosc, the still gentle path brings us over some scree to Vodnikov dom na Velem polju, where the next junction is.
Here too, we continue straight in the direction of Triglav, the path begins to ascend transversely along the slopes of Vernar, higher up it also becomes technically demanding. Some traversing follows, where a wire cable assists us, higher up we reach a steep drop, where with the help of numerous pegs and wire cable we climb up stone steps.
The path ahead levels out, the slope becomes less steep and near Konjsko sedlo also somewhat more grassy.
We easily descend to Konjsko sedlo, from the marked junction at the saddle we head straight onto the path in the direction of Triglavski dom na Kredarici and Staničev dom pod Triglavom (left Dom Planika pod Triglavom, right dolina Krma), just a few steps further the path forks again.
Here, the inscription on the rock Staničev dom directs us slightly right onto a nicely traceable but less trodden path. The path ahead crosses the slopes to the right with some shorter ascents and descents, crossing some gullies that may still be under snow in early summer. The path ahead crosses a band of bushes, then transitions to a grassy slope across which it ascends transversely. The path then levels out and a little further crosses the path leading from Krma via Kalvarija to Kredarica.
We continue in the direction of Staničev dom (inscription on the rock) and continue the ascent on a moderately steep path that gets closer and closer to the scree under Rž. Along a pleasant path over Ržke pode, we reach the aforementioned scree, across which we begin to ascend transversely. When we reach the other side of the scree, the path turns slightly left and begins to ascend steeply through rugged rock. The steepness quickly eases and after a few more minutes of walking, we join the path coming from Krma.
We continue left in the direction of Triglav and Staničev dom, along a gradually gentler path that brings us to a junction at the beginning of the ridge leading towards Dovška vratca and further to Rjavina.
Here, a marked path towards Rjavina also branches off to the right, we gradually begin to descend towards the more plateau-like area around Dom Valentina Staniča pod Triglavom.
Lower down, the path levels out and from the next junction we continue straight towards the nearby mountain hut.
