Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Ablanca (via Jezerca and Studorski preval)

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow signs for Bled and Pokljuka. Continue through Gorje and past the Zatrnik ski slope to Rudno polje on Pokljuka, where there is a large paid parking lot; nearby there is also a military barracks and a shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly brings us to a junction, where we continue left towards Uskovnica (right Planina Konjščica). Drive another good 500 m to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Parking is now prohibited at the mentioned parking lot, so we must park already at Rudno polje, which extends the route by approximately 35 minutes, or choose the starting point Uskovnica (Lom).
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol gas station, located just a little after Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereke. The road first ascends steeply, then gradually flattens after Koriti and brings us to a junction at the bus station, where we continue right towards Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereke (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the junction we arrive in Jereka, and from the junction in front of the church we continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road begins to ascend more steeply again, higher up it flattens and continues along the Mrzli potok. When we join the road from Bled, go left and drive to Rudno polje, where there is a large paid parking lot; nearby there is also a military barracks and a shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly brings us to a junction, where we continue left towards Uskovnica (right Planina Konjščica). Drive another good 500 m to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Parking is now prohibited at the mentioned parking lot, so we must park already at Rudno polje, which extends the route by approximately 35 minutes, or choose the starting point Uskovnica (Lom).

Traffic regime in the Pokljuka and Uskovnica area from 15.6. to 15.10.

Path description:
From the former parking lot at the junction, continue along the gravel road closed to public traffic towards Uskovnica. The road immediately begins to descend quite steeply and quickly brings us to the bridge over Ribnica (Ribnica is the stream separating Uskovnica from Pokljuka). After the bridge, the road turns sharply left, then in a slight descent crosses the slopes above the right bank of Ribnica. A few dozen meters further, we reach a small junction, where we continue sharply right towards Planina Konjščica (straight Uskovnica). The path ahead first moderately ascends along the pasture, then flattens completely for a few minutes. When the poorer road begins to ascend again, a path from the chapel at Uskovnica joins from the left (the junction is not specially marked), and we continue right.
A little further, a nice view opens towards Viševnik, and the cart track then ascends transversely for some time, mostly through forest. Higher up, we cross a pasture fence and the path brings us to the southwestern edge of Planina Konjščica. Here the path, which was occasionally somewhat steeper again, completely flattens and leads us transversely across the pasture. During the crossing, we step over several small streams, then after a small cross we cross a somewhat larger stream, and a few steps later we reach the cheese dairy at Planina Konjščica, where during the grazing season it is possible to buy some dairy products.
Before the cheese dairy, continue slightly left towards Triglav and Vodnikov dom at Velem polje, on a path that gently ascends towards the northern part of the pasture. When the pasture ends, the path enters among dwarf pines surrounded by individual trees and begins to ascend moderately. With views of the surrounding mountains, we quickly reach a marked junction, where a marked path from Rudno polje also joins from the right.
Continue slightly left towards Studorski preval and ascend somewhat more steeply for a few minutes. Higher up, the valley we are walking through narrows, then along a torrent we reach the grassy flat at Jezerce, where the next marked junction is.
Here go left (right Mali Draški vrh, Srenjski preval and Viševnik) and after a few steps the path brings us into the narrower area of TNP. Continue ascending along a spring towards Studorski preval. A bit higher, cross the torrent, and the path veers slightly right onto grassy slopes covered with dwarf pines. The path then ascends transversely to Studorski preval, from which a nice view opens to the Bohinj side.
At the pass, where we leave the markings, go left uphill on a path (straight down Vodnikov dom, right Veliki Draški vrh, sharply right Srenjski preval). The path quickly brings us to scree terrain, where stones can easily be dislodged, so caution. A steeper path follows, leading to the ridge. Follow this path, which is quite dangerous for slipping (due to loose sand on the path), to the summit of Ablanca.
