Rudno polje - Planina Konjščica

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).

Route description:
From a large parking lot opposite the barracks on Rudno polje at first we cross the road, and then we look for the beginning of the forest road (by the beginning of the forest road are also signs for Triglav), which leads towards the ski slope Viševnik. After approximately 10 minutes of walking on the mentioned road we get to the foot of the ski slope, where the marked path splits into two parts. The right path leads towards Viševnik and mountain hut Blejska koča na Lipanci, and we still continue on the road for a short time in the direction of Triglav, mountain hut Vodnikov dom na Velem polju and Studorski preval. When the road returns into the forest, we will on the left notice a marked footpath which starts gently and higher moderately ascending through the forest. After a few minutes, we step back on the road which we reach on a medium-sized parking lot, where there is enough space for about 20 cars (to here it is possible also with a car, this shortens the path for approximately 20 minutes).
When we reach the parking lot, we walk a few tens of meters on the road, and then signs lead slightly right on a marked and well-beaten path which starts ascending through the forest. After a few minutes, the path flattens and gradually passes on the relatively steep southern slopes of Plesišče (1790 m). Next follows a few minutes of crossing, and then we step on some kind of ridge of the previously mentioned summit, where the marked path turns right, and we continue straight downwards in the direction of the inscription on the rock "kislo mleko".
We continue on a well-beaten, but further unmarked footpath which out of the forest quickly brings us on panoramic grassy slopes. Lower, the path turns a little to the right and in a few minutes descends to the mountain pasture Konjščica. On the mountain pasture the footpath vanishes a little, and we walk to the main part of the mountain pasture, where we step on a marked path, and in a few tens of strides we reach the cheese cottage on the mountain pasture Konjščica.
