Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Viševnik (via source of Zlata voda)

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 also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which a bit further brings us to a junction, where we continue left towards Uskovnica (right planina Konjščica). From here we drive another good 500 m to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Now parking is 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 Jereka. The road first ascends steeply, then after Koriti gradually flattens 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; 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 it flattens and continues along Mrzli potok. When we join the road from Bled we go left and drive to Rudno polje, where there is a large paid parking lot, nearby also military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which a bit further brings us to a junction, where we continue left towards Uskovnica (right planina Konjščica). From here we drive another good 500 m to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Now parking is 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 that separates Uskovnica from Pokljuka). After the bridge, the road turns sharply left, then crosses the slopes above the right bank of Ribnica in a slight descent. Some 10 meters further, we reach a small junction, where we continue sharply right towards planina Konjščica (straight Uskovnica). The path ahead first ascends moderately along the pasture, then completely flattens 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), we continue right.
A bit further, a nice view towards Viševnik opens up, the cart track then ascends transversely for some time, mostly through forest. Higher, 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 alpine pasture. During the crossing, we step over several small streams, then after a small cross cross a somewhat larger stream, after it in a few steps we reach the cheese dairy on planina Konjščica, where during the grazing season it is possible to buy some dairy product.
Bypass the cheese dairy on the right side and briefly continue on the marked path that begins to descend towards Pokljuka (in descriptions starting point end of the road on Pokljuka). When crossing the nearby stream, where the marked path turns right, continue straight onto the unmarked path that begins to ascend through the pastures of planina Konjščica.
When stepping out of the stream bed the trail temporarily disappears and flattens. Across the pasture area continue towards the east or somewhat more to the right, until the place where the trail becomes more distinct. After crossing the torrent gully the trail becomes more distinct and with nice views of the mountains surrounding planina Konjščica begins to ascend more steeply. Higher the path enters the forest, then quickly brings us to the marked path Rudno polje - Triglav, which we reach right on a kind of ridge.
Follow the marked path left downwards, but walk on it only to the crossing of the first torrent. At the torrent leave the marked path and continue the ascent along the torrent, initially straight upwards. Soon we notice traces of predecessors, a few steps higher we spot a nice traceable little path (to here also possible on the path that branches from the previously mentioned ridge into the forest (the start of the mentioned pathlet is not visible)). Here the trail crosses the stream to the right, then behind it slowly turns left in a semicircle, where it leads us across a meadow where the trail is not visible. When approaching the stream again we spot the trail again, it crosses the stream and on the other side begins to ascend transversely. The path then ascends into a small valley, where it disappears again. When the valley flattens continue right, where after a few meters we spot the trail again, which is now more distinct. From the place where we left the valley we walk only a minute or two, then notice a small cairn by the path, beside 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.
Continue straight along the path that transversely ascends the slopes of Plesišče. Higher we reach the ridge of the mentioned summit, where we ascend along it briefly, then the path turns slightly right and passes to the eastern slopes. A few minutes more transverse ascent, then step onto the pasture where the trail begins to disappear. Continue in approximately the same direction, where with a bit of luck arrive right at the source of Zlata voda.
From the source continue straight or slightly left, then in a few minutes join the marked path Rudno polje - Viševnik, which we reach at the marked junction where the path towards Blejska koča na Lipanci and the saddle between Plesišče and Viševnik branches off. When reaching the mentioned path continue left, then quickly ascend to the mentioned saddle, from where a nice view opens.
At the mentioned saddle we reach the marked path Rudno polje - Viševnik, we follow it to the left. The path ahead first ascends moderately, then more steeply through the belt of dwarf pines. Higher the dwarf pines end and the path brings us to a mini col, from where a nice view opens. Continuing we ascend a steeper and panoramic grassy slope, the path then turns somewhat right and brings us in transverse ascent to the ridge of Viševnik, where an even nicer view towards Rjavina and surrounding mountains opens. The path continues on and beside the ridge and for some time ascends only moderately. After a short crossing we arrive below the very summit of Viševnik, where the path becomes quite steep (in winter this part is often icy) and brings us to the panoramic summit in a few minutes.
