Rudno polje - Triglavski dom na Kredarici

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

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 this 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 arrive at a forest road, which we follow for only a few meters (until here it used to be possible by car as well). The marked path then turns right and ascends more steeply for a short time, after ten minutes the steepness eases, and the path slowly transitions 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 scrub. 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 into a beautiful little valley called Jezerce, where it forks. There are also signposts directing us left (right Srenjski preval, Viševnik Blejska koča na Lipanci...) and the initially easy 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 then crosses higher up to the right side, where we reach grassy slopes; the path we are ascending is still rocky. There follows an ascent in a few hairpin turns and we climb to Studorski preval, from which a beautiful view opens up to 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 direction, and we then cross the slopes to the left for a longer time with some shorter easy ascents and descents. From the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh we gradually arrive at the slopes of the massive Tosc, and with beautiful views we continue past the turn-off to Tosc and the junction where the path from Uskovnica also joins from the left.
At all junctions, including the one where the partly abandoned path leading over planina Zgornji Tosc joins us, we continue straight; the path gradually brings us to steeper and also precipitous southwest slopes of mount Tosc, where there was a landslide a few years ago, so 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, and when the slope becomes less steep, the path from Stara Fužina or Voje valley also joins from the left.
We continue straight along the wider marked path towards Triglav, which continues northwards, leading us along the western slopes of Tosc; the still easy path then brings us across a few scree fields 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, and higher up it also becomes technically demanding. There follows some traversing assisted by a chain, and higher up we reach a steep drop where, with the help of numerous pegs and chain, we climb the 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 Krma valley), just a few steps further the path forks again.
We continue slightly left in the direction of Kredarica (slightly right Dom Valentina Staniča) and then ascend transversely across numerous gullies, where crossing them is generally not demanding. Further on the path becomes technically more difficult, and on some sections safety gear, mainly chains and some pegs, assists easier and safer progress.
At an elevation of just under 2300 meters we join the technically easier path from Krma valley, and we continue left in the direction of Kredarica and Triglav.
When a few minutes further the path levels out even more, a path branches left past Snežna konta and over Štapce to Dom Planika pod Triglavom; we continue right and first continue fairly level, then climb to the ridge above Vrh Snežne konte, the summit of which we saw from below during the ascent over Kalvarija.
Here the path becomes steeper again, and we follow such a path all the way to Triglavski dom na Kredarici.
