Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Studorski preval (via planina Spodnji Tosc)

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow the signs for Bled and Pokljuka. Continue driving through Gorje and past the Zatrnik ski slope to Rudno polje on Pokljuka, where there is a large paid parking lot, nearby a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly afterwards 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).
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol gas station, located just after Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road first climbs steeply, then gradually flattens after Koriti and brings us to a junction at the bus stop, where we continue right towards Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the junction we arrive in Jereka, but 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 it flattens and continues along the Mrzli potok stream. When we join the road from Bled, go left and drive to Rudno polje, where there is a large paid parking lot, nearby a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly afterwards 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).

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 forest road closed to public traffic, which begins to descend more steeply towards the gorge of the Ribnica stream. After a short descent, we reach the mentioned gorge, over which there is a wide car bridge. The road flattens after the bridge and after a few minutes of further walking brings us out of the forest onto the vast meadows of Uskovnica.
Here we walk to the nearby chapel, then continue the path slightly right along the road that runs right next to the mentioned chapel (left Koča na Uskovnici, right planina Konjščica).
The fairly flat road leads us further across the extensive meadows of Uskovnica, then brings us to the edge of the forest, where it begins to turn into an initially still wide cart track. The cart track, which further on begins to ascend moderately, has a few junctions, but we follow it towards Vodnikov dom on Velem polju and Triglav. Higher up, the cart track, which for the most part runs through the forest, turns into a hiking path, which quickly brings us to a pleasant spring below Mesnova glava, called Štapce. At the spring, continue straight (right hunting lodge) and continue the ascent along a gentle path that shortly brings us to steep slopes. Already soon after arriving at the steep slopes, wire ropes assist us in crossing a steep gully. The path continues along relatively steep slopes that are especially slippery when wet. During the crossing of the steep slopes, the path ascends steeply for short sections several times and then descends again. In the last part of the crossing, we cross several very steep gullies, over which the path is locally completely destroyed (high risk of slipping). The crossing ends at a larger torrent (usually a spring), after which we enter a softer grassy world.
A few minutes of easy walking follow, and the path brings us to the abandoned planina Spodnji Tosc. The path further on begins to ascend moderately and soon brings us to a small junction, where we continue sharply right (straight old, partly abandoned path) along a well-traceable path. The path further on begins to ascend ever more steeply and quickly brings us from the belt of sparse forest into the bushes, where it begins to turn more to the left. The path soon flattens and from the bushes brings us to grassy slopes, over which in a few minutes of further walking we ascend to the Pokljuka - Triglav path.
We follow the mentioned path to the right, which after a few steps brings us to the place where the path to Tosc branches left (the junction to Tosc is marked, but the path to it is not marked). Continue straight along the pleasant transverse path, which gradually passes from the slopes of Tosca to the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh. The scenic path then after some time brings us to the foot of the Studorski preval, where it ascends more steeply for a short time. After five minutes of ascent, we step onto Studorski preval.
