Rudno polje - Viševnik

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

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, a macadam road branches off to the right, beside which there are signposts for Triglav. We head onto this road, which ascends slightly and brings us to the ski slope after ten minutes.
On the other side of the ski slope, by the ski lift we will notice a marked footpath, which continues to the right from the road. We take the mentioned path, which in a moderate ascent through a strip of forest brings us to a macadam road (it is also possible by road up to here), which we follow to the right, but only a few steps. Just before the road crosses the ski slope, a marked footpath branches off to the left, which first crosses a pasture fence, then ascends along the edge of the ski slope. At the top of the first ski lift the marked path turns left and then begins to ascend more steeply along the edge of the second, steeper ski slope. The second ski lift also ends soon, and we continue on the path, which turns into a smaller, relatively steep valley. Towards the top of the mentioned valley the path ascends relatively steeply, then suddenly flattens out and brings us past the abandoned hunting observatory to a junction.
We continue straight in the direction of Viševnik (right Lipanca and Viševnik over Kačji rob) on a path that is again steeper, which after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a smaller saddle, from which a nice view opens up on the Spodnje Bohinjske gore. At the saddle we continue right on a wide mountain path, which further ascends through a belt of dwarf pines. We soon leave the dwarf pines and the path brings us to relatively steep grassy slopes, over which we then ascend to the ridge of Viševnik. A short crossing of a rocky slope follows, then we pass below the summit itself of Viševnik. Here the path ascends steeply and after a few more steps brings us to the panoramic summit.
In wintertime, the upper part of the path is exposed to avalanches, and there is also a great risk of slipping.
