Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and continue towards Bled. In Bled, at the traffic lights, signs for Pokljuka direct you to the right. Continue through Gorje and past the abandoned Zatrnik ski resort to Rudno polje on Pokljuka (large parking lot, barracks and shooting range).
Route description:
At the end of the parking lot a gravel road branches off to the right along which there are signposts for Triglav. We turn onto this road, which gently ascends and brings us to the ski resort after ten minutes.
On the other side of the ski resort, next to the ski lift, we will notice a marked footpath that continues to the right from the road. We take the mentioned path, which in a moderate ascent through a belt of forest brings us to a gravel road (up to here also possible by road), 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 along the path which enters a smaller relatively steep valley. Towards the top of the mentioned valley the path ascends relatively steeply, then suddenly levels out and brings us past an abandoned hunting observation post to a junction.
We continue straight in the direction of Viševnik (right Lipanca and Viševnik via Kačji rob) along an again steeper path, which after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a small saddle, from which a nice view opens to the Bohinj-Tolmin mountains, sometimes called the Lower Bohinj mountains.
At the saddle we continue right along a wide mountain path, which then ascends through a belt of dwarf pines. We soon leave the dwarf pines and the path brings us to relatively steep grassy slopes, across which we then climb to the ridge of Viševnik. This is followed by a short traverse of a rocky slope, then we pass below the summit of Viševnik itself. Here the path steeply ascends and after a few more steps of walking brings us to the panoramic summit.
In winter time the upper part of the path is exposed to avalanches, there is also a great danger of slipping.

In the summit log box you'll find a Honda car key!

I'm wondering if it's possible to reach Rudno polje from Bled, given that I saw a notice about road renovation on this section?
golica22. 06. 2016
was yesterday on Pokljuka, and further of course...regarding the road, yes barriers are marked everywhere, but for "locals" not much changes, so we could drive with a small detour almost on the same road Bled-Gorje-Pokljuka, just for info.nasmeh

Super, thanks for the information nasmeh

Did this tour yesterday and then extended it over Srenjski preval to Veliki Draški vrh and returned via Studorski preval to Rudno polje. Nice weather and great views.

I'm curious what the path is like, does anyone know? Is there snow, is winter equipment needed?
keti11. 10. 2017
Today we were up there in wonderful sunny weather, without fog. No snow on the path.nasmeh
primozg6. 11. 2017
The beautiful path in nice sunny weather is really kitschy. 30.10. no snow, with some frozen mud. Pictures and description at https://gorskimoz.wordpress.com/2017/11/06/soncni-visevnik/

On Sundays and holidays when sunny, late arrival at Rudno polje means "parking problem", need to leave car 1km before the parking lot. Depends on the warden. Applies to those heading to Viševnik. Yesterday I left the car about 2km before the parking lot. Late evening I ran that part. Video from Viševnik summit, later after descent to Plesišča decided to go back to Viševnik to watch sunset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7AxtN52VYY

Hello... I'm curious about the conditions on the path to Viševnik? Is a track made? Which path is the most suitable for a winter ascent?

PFranci8. 03. 2018
Conditions suitable also for hikers. Trail is the classic one over the ski slope.

Hello, on descent from Viševnik towards Rudno polje today, 24.7.2018, I lost Kenwood TH-f7 radio. Thanks to finder if they notify me of the find.
Thank you

Hi, on Saturday I'd like to go to Viševnik. Interested in conditions? Possible with microspikes and poles?

Hello! But does anyone know how long it takes from Viševnik to the hut at Lipanca?
Enka7. 06. 2020
Three hours?
Enka7. 06. 2020
Probably even less.

Hikers in heavy snowfall on Viševnik, where moments of silence were interrupted by a roaring wind, and at the ski area height also thick raindrops.

I'm also interested in how it is in the mountains above Bohinj, at what altitude does the snow start?
Fulcrum8. 06. 2021 08:28:33
I haven't been to Viševnik, but on Saturday (5.6.) I went to Debelo peč. To Blejska koča there's just traces of snow, from there on the conditions are completely wintery. The summits of Debele peči and Brda are snow-free, but on the way there you can't avoid it. In some places at least a meter, judging by how deep I sank in. I didn't need winter gear (crampons).
PV21. 06. 2021 14:03:59
Does anyone perhaps know if there's still any snow on this trail to Viševnik?

No more snow.

The road to the cable car now has a no-traffic sign, smaller and white inside.

24.7. Ascent via the usual path, descent via Kačji rob. The last part of the upper trail near the rocks towards Srenjski preval is a bit awkward, slippery. Otherwise, there is currently a lot of flowers along the path. You forget about the steepness, it's so beautiful. You just look and admire the beautiful nature. But it was blowing strongly and at the top everyone quickly turned back.nasmeh

I'm interested if it's safe to go to Viševnik this Sunday, 13.8.2023?
Thank you in advance.

No bears, snakes or mountain rescuers, so be careful on the trail.nasmeh

How is the parking at the starting point?
Kafetarca12. 08. 2023 22:35:04
You park in the parking lot in front of the barracks, pay 6 euros at the machine and head to Viševnik.
The machine does not give change, so have small change.
megalodon12. 08. 2023 23:45:09
If you're early enough (otherwise there's quite a large parking lot) you park next to the paid one and the Slovenian army treats you (read: it's free). It's also marked with a sign.
Kafetarca12. 08. 2023 23:50:02
Is that the parking lot by the road, a bit before the paid one?
Kafetarca13. 08. 2023 15:38:09
Hm, interesting, I thought all along that this parking lot is part of the one right next to it that needs to be paid. velik nasmeh
Hribo Vanja2. 07. 2024 07:57:56
Last week on Viševnik. Free parking possible at the military barracks parking lot. We did a circular route Rudno p.-Viševnik-Srenjski preval-Jezerce-Rudno p. First time I saw a chamois!

How is access to Rudno polje by car? Is it possible to get there or is there snow? I'm also interested if a winter hike to Viševnik with crampons and hiking poles is safe (I have no experience with winter hikes).

Thank you and best regards!
jax7. 01. 2025 14:41:20
To Rudno polje it's never a problem except right during snowfall. The road is nice, wide and quickly cleared.
Personally, I would advise against going up with crampons. The summit slope is not as gentle as some say. But someone else will comment.
veja531. 07. 2025 14:32:27
Today on Viševnik. According to the weather forecast, the right choice. Parked at Rudno polje and paid for parking. Missed the toilets though. The parking lot manager should take a look at his colleagues in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, where at paid parking lots, at least basic visitor needs are provided.
Best regards. Venčeslav.
Lop27. 12. 2025 07:52:08
Does anyone know how the snow situation is? Is it possible with microspikes or are crampons and an ice axe needed? Thanks to anyone who replies.
rensul27. 12. 2025 21:14:11
Lop-Not much snow. Some hike up with crampons and even ice axe, others suffice with microspikes. Don't go completely without. It depends on conditions. If very hard or icy, proper gear is needed.

Hi, winter glimpse of Viševnik in the video below:

https://youtu.be/Z-0Ffh7tq2I?is=NWU8ize_EgleVEny

The weather wasn't ideal, but still a nice winter learning experience using big crampons and an ice axe.

13.3. 2026

For the views, some other time.

Best, Nina
sla17. 03. 2026 07:53:35
What are those big crampons????
Lunatic20. 03. 2026 09:22:12
No need for crampons or ice axe, or only for taking photos eek
Tomco20. 03. 2026 17:53:50
Yes, she wrote a lesson. Viševnik is quite suitable for that.
vitan20. 03. 2026 19:09:02
Nina, a well-meaning tip: when you use an ice axe and crampons, don't forget the helmet too! mežikanje

plaNinaPirsMajcen26. 03. 2026 14:57:37
Thanks to everyone for the concern.

Of course I know that in addition to semi-automatic crampons and an ice axe, a helmet is also required. That's what they taught us in the course.

But as I wrote, Viševnik was a lesson for me in using an ice axe and crampons. Everyone who came after me was without a helmet, many didn't even have small crampons. Full winter gear is not necessary for Viševnik, of course if you go by the normal summer path.

When I climb some gully with a steeper incline and risk of slipping, I will of course have complete winter gear.

With the video I just wanted to give an idea for a winter hike, that Viševnik can be safely done in winter too with caution and good conditions.
