Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Koča na Uskovnici

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow the 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, and nearby a military barracks and 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). From here 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 about 35 minutes, or choose the starting point Uskovnica (Lom).

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 climb 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, and nearby a military barracks and shooting range.

Route description:
From the former parking lot at the junction, continue along the gravel road closed to public traffic towards Uskovnica. The road immediately descends 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 tens of metres further, a road branches off to the right towards Planina Konjščica, we continue straight to the next junction, located in the immediate vicinity of the Chapel of Mary Queen of Peace. Here another path continues right towards Planina Konjščica, straight along the right side of the chapel the path continues towards Vodnikov dom na Velem polju and Triglav, we continue left towards Koča na Uskovnici.
