Konec ceste na Pokljuki - Mali Draški vrh

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 military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which a bit further brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico, located at the end of the road (nearby there are mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Now parking at the end of the road is prohibited, so park at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more appropriate to choose the marked path that starts at Rudno polje.
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol gas station, located just after Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road first ascends steeply, then gradually flattens after Koriti and leads 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 at Jereka, but from the junction in front of the church continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road ascends more steeply again, higher it flattens and continues along Mrzli potok. When joining the road from Bled go left and drive to Rudno polje, where there is a large paid parking lot, nearby military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which a bit further brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico, located at the end of the road (nearby there are mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Now parking at the end of the road is prohibited, so park at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more appropriate to choose the marked path that starts at Rudno polje.
Traffic regime in the Pokljuka and Uskovnica area from 15.6. to 15.10.

Route description:
From the former parking lot at the end of the road, continue along the wide initially ascending track towards planina Konjščica. The track enters dense forest immediately, soon flattens and after a few minutes of easy walking turns into a footpath continuing along the left bank of the Ribnica stream. When the path gets close to the stream it turns slightly right and ascends more steeply. Higher up the path flattens and leads us from the forest to the lower edge of the vast planina Konjščica. Here the path turns slightly left, crosses a streamlet and after a few more steps brings us to the cheese dairy on planina Konjščica.
From the cheese dairy continue along the pleasant path that brings us in a few minutes of gentle ascent to the upper edge of the pasture. Here the path enters the belt of dwarf pines and shrubs and gradually starts ascending more steeply. In the upper part of the ascent to Jezerca, the path from Rudno polje joins from the right, we continue straight along the moderately steep path that brings us in a few more minutes to Jezerca, where the path flattens and forks. There are also signposts directing us right following the signs »Viševnik« (left Triglav).
Further, first walk along the flat trail towards Mali Draški vrh. The path then turns a bit more right and starts ascending the valley between Mali Draški vrh and Viševnik. Further ascend along the left side of the valley, in the upper part the path turns slightly right and follows the ascent along the crumbly slope to Srenjski preval.
From Srenjski preval continue left along the unmarked and less visible path (right Viševnik, straight Blejska koča na Lipanci, sharply left Studorski preval) which starts ascending ever more steeply along and beside the indistinct gully. The path in the lower part ascends somewhat right of the gully, then briefly crosses to its left side viewed from the ascent direction. Higher the gully steepens more, the path starts to fade. Continue ascending steeply up the gully (caution due to high rockfall hazard) and along the "path" we will notice some very old and completely faded markers. After about 20 minutes of ascent we step onto the precipitous ridge from which a nice view opens to the Krma valley and the peaks surrounding it.
From here we can climb to the nearby eastern summit, separated by a few meters of easier climbing along the exposed ridge, or to the somewhat more distant but a few meters higher western summit. To it first descend a bit, then along the quite exposed ridge in a few dozen steps ascend to the panoramic summit.
