Rudno polje - Srednji Selišnik (snowy approach)

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

Route description:
From the parking lot, we go on a cross-country ski trail, which goes towards the ski slope Viševnik. After ten minutes of walking, we arrive at the ski slope. Here we continue on the road which goes on the left side of the ski slope. The road makes a sharp right turn and soon crosses the ski slope. While the ski slope is operating, we carefully cross the ski slope and continue on the other side further on the road, which soon brings us to a crossroads. Here we go to the left upper road where there is a gate. Only a few minutes ahead, we arrive at the mountain pasture, where a beautiful view opens up. The road in a gentle ascent on the left side bypasses the mountain pasture. After a good five minutes of additional walking, we leave the road and go left on pathless terrain. The slope is at first quite gentle, but already after a few minutes we get to a steep ascent. In unfavorable conditions, a small to moderate avalanche can be triggered here, but because the slope is vegetated, this probability is lower. If we are not sure about the conditions, it is better to turn back. After approximately 20 minutes, the steepness decreases and we continue in the direction of an indistinct ridge upwards. The path on that wide ridge soon brings us to a gully on our right side. Our path continues above the gully and we cross it at its beginning. The path for a short time again steeply ascends and brings us to less vegetated slopes below Mali Selišnik. We notice it on the right side. We recognize it by the rocky upper part. We go towards this mountain and traverse it on the left side.
From here on we continue on slopes vegetated with dwarf pines all the time upwards. When we ascend to the first hillock, a view opens up towards an indistinct summit. This peak, which is already very near, is Srednji Selišnik and we reach it in a few minutes of additional walking. To the right behind is Veliki Selišnik.
Orientation on the path is difficult, in fog almost impossible. Part of the path is exposed to avalanches.
