Konec ceste na Pokljuki - Prevalski Stog

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow 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 also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former Za Ribnico parking lot at the end of the road (nearby are mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more suitable to choose the marked path that starts already at Rudno polje.
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol gas station, located just beyond Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road first ascends 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 continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road begins to ascend more steeply again, higher 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, nearby also a military barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which shortly brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former Za Ribnico parking lot at the end of the road (nearby are mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more suitable to choose the marked path that starts already 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 on the wide and initially ascending cart track towards planina Konjščica. The cart track, which immediately enters dense forest, soon levels out and after a few minutes of easy walking turns into a footpath that continues along the left bank of the Ribnica stream. When the path approaches the stream closely, it turns slightly right and ascends more steeply. Higher up, the path levels out and leads us from the forest to the lower edge of the vast planina Konjščica. Here the path turns slightly left, crosses the stream and after a few more steps brings us to the dairy at planina Konjščica.
From the dairy, continue on the pleasant path that in a few minutes of gentle ascent brings us to the upper edge of the planina. Here the path enters a belt of dwarf pines and shrubs and gradually begins to ascend more steeply. In the upper part of the ascent towards Jezerc, the path from Rudno polje joins from the right, we continue straight on the moderately steep path that in a few more minutes brings us to Jezerce, where the path levels out and turns left (here a path branches right to Srenjski preval).
Follow easy walking to the sign indicating the central area of TNP, then the path begins to ascend moderately along the torrent, initially still a streamlet. Higher up, the path crosses to the right side of the torrent (viewed from the ascent direction) and then transversely ascends to Studorski preval, from which we get a nice view of the mountains above Bohinj.
Here a demanding path from Srenjski preval joins from the right, and from our path unmarked trails also branch to Ablanca and Veliki Draški vrh.
From the saddle, first descend steeply for a short time, then the path turns right, and we then cross the slopes to the left for a longer time with some shorter easy ascents and descents. From the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh we gradually arrive at the slopes of the massive Tosc, we continue with nice views past the branch to Tosc and the junction where the path from Uskovnica also joins from the left.
At all junctions, including the one where the partly abandoned path leading over planina Zgornji Tosc joins, continue straight, the path gradually brings us to steeper and also precipitous southwest slopes of Tosc mountain, where there was a landslide a few years ago, so extra caution is needed due to falling rocks. Across the precipitous section runs a fairly wide path, so there are no special difficulties in this part, but when the slope becomes less steep, the path from Stara Fužina or Voje valley also joins from the left.
Here continue slightly left towards Velo polje (sharply left Voje, straight Vodnikov dom). The path ahead begins to descend transversely to the right and quickly brings us to an unmarked junction.
Continue on the right marked path (left hunting hut and also unmarked shortcut to Planina pod Mišelj vrhom), which soon levels out, then continues crossing the slopes below Vodnikov dom. After a few minutes the path turns slightly left and begins descending towards Malo polje and Velo polje. After a short descent we reach a small saddle between Malo polje on the left and Velo polje on the right. Here continue left (right Velo polje) and continue on the marked path that quickly descends to planina Malo polje. Follow a few minutes of walking across the mentioned planina, then the path turns slightly right and brings us to the seasonal lake on planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
Bypass the small lake on the right side (slightly left Voje), then in a gentle ascent climb to the collapsing shepherds' huts on planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
From the planina continue right towards Mišeljski preval and planina v Lazu (straight Jezerski preval) on the path that on the other side of the planina turns left. The path ahead begins to ascend moderately across several small valleys, then passes to the slopes of Prevalski Stog, where it gradually begins to ascend more steeply. Here we notice several cairns marking the start of an unmarked trail into Mišeljska dolina, we continue on the marked path that turns even more to the left. The increasingly scenic path, from which we have nice views of Škednjovec, Mišelj vrh, Vernar and Tosc, levels out briefly higher up and brings us to a small sinkhole, which it bypasses on the right side. Then transversely ascend across a short grassy slope, then arrive in a more rocky terrain, where across steep scree we climb to Mišeljski preval.
From the pass, from which we get a nice view of Ograde and Debeli vrh, continue left and continue the ascent on a poorly visible and unmarked path that begins to ascend ever more steeply along the northwest ridge of Prevalski Stog. The ridge we walk on becomes narrower, the path steeper, so great care is needed in this section to avoid slipping. After about ten minutes of very steep ascent the path levels out and only five minutes of easy walking separate us from the summit.
