Rudno polje - Viševnik (via source of Zlata voda)

Access to starting point:
From 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:
From the large parking lot opposite the barracks on Rudno polje we first cross the road, then look for the beginning of the forest road (at the beginning of the forest road there are also signs for Triglav), which leads towards the ski slope Viševnik. After approximately 10 minutes of walking along the mentioned road we arrive at the foot of the ski slope, where the marked path splits into two parts. The right path leads towards Viševnik and Blejska koča na Lipanci, while we continue a short time further along the road in the direction of Triglav, Vodnikov dom na Velem polju and Studorski preval. When the road returns to the forest, we will notice on the left a marked trail that starts gently, then moderately ascending higher through the forest. After a few minutes we step back onto the road, which we reach at a medium-sized parking lot where there is space for about 20 cars (it is possible to drive here by car, which shortens the path by approximately 20 minutes).
When we reach the parking lot, we walk a few tens of meters along the road, then the signs lead us slightly to the right onto a marked and well-trodden path that starts to ascend through the forest. After a few minutes the path levels out and gradually transitions to the relatively steep southern slopes of Plesišče (1790 m). A few minutes of traversing follow, then we step onto a sort of ridge of the aforementioned summit. Here the marked path turns right (straight down leads an unmarked but well-trodden path towards Planina Konjščica) and descends a little further.
From the ridge we follow the marked path only up to the crossing of the first torrent. At the torrent we leave the marked path and continue the ascent to the right along the torrent, initially straight up. Soon we notice traces of predecessors, a few steps higher we spot a nicely traceable little path (it is possible to reach here also along the path that branches off from the aforementioned ridge into the forest (the start of the mentioned path is not visible)). Here the path crosses a stream to the right, then behind it slowly turns semicircularly to the left, leading us across a meadow where the path is not visible. When we approach the stream again we spot the path again, which crosses the stream and on the other side starts to ascend transversely. The path then climbs into a smaller valley where it disappears again. When the valley flattens we continue to the right, where after a few meters we spot the path again, this time more distinct. From the point where we left the valley we walk only a minute or two, then along the path we notice a small cairn, by which the path splits into two parts. The left path leads towards the saddle between Viševnik and Plesišče, the path continuing straight joins the marked path Rudno polje - Viševnik at Zlate vode.
We continue straight along the path, which further ascends transversely along the slopes of Plesišče. Higher we reach the ridge of the mentioned summit, where we ascend along it for a short time, then the path turns slightly right and transitions to the eastern slopes. We ascend transversely for a few more minutes, then step onto a pasture where the trail starts to fade. We continue in approximately the same direction, where with a little luck we arrive right at the source of Zlata voda.
From the source we continue straight or slightly left, then in a few minutes we join the marked path Rudno polje - Viševnik, which we reach at a marked junction where the path to Blejska koča na Lipanci and the saddle between Plesišče and Viševnik branches off. When we reach the mentioned path we continue left, then quickly ascend to the mentioned saddle, from where a beautiful view opens up.
On the mentioned saddle we reach the marked path Rudno polje - Viševnik, which we follow to the left. The path ahead first ascends moderately, then more steeply through a belt of dwarf pines. Higher the dwarf pines end and the path leads us to a small saddle, from where a nice view opens up. We then ascend a steeper and panoramic grassy slope, the path turns somewhat to the right and brings us in a transverse ascent to the ridge of Viševnik, where an even nicer view opens towards Rjavina and the surrounding mountains. The path continues along and beside the ridge and for some time only ascends moderately. After a short traverse we arrive below the summit itself of Viševnik, where the path becomes quite steep (in winter this section is often icy) and brings us to the panoramic summit in a few minutes.
