Konec ceste na Pokljuki - Rjavina

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Lesce exit, then follow the 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 there is also a barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which a little further brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). We then follow this road to the former Za Ribnico parking lot, which is at the end of the road (nearby there are mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so we 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 driving towards Bled. Shortly after the Petrol gas station, which is just a little after Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road first rises 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, but from the junction in front of the church we continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road begins to rise more steeply again, higher up 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 there is also a barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight along the gravel road, which a little further brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). We then follow this road to the former Za Ribnico parking lot, which is at the end of the road (nearby there are mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so we 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 and initially ascending cart track towards planina Konjščica. The cart track, which immediately enters dense forest, soon flattens 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 gets close to the mentioned 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 the stream and after a few more steps brings us to the dairy at planina Konjščica.
From the dairy, continue along a 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 Jezerca, the path from Rudno polje joins from the right, we continue straight along the moderately steep path that in a few more minutes of walking brings us to Jezerca, where the path flattens and turns left (here a path branches right to Srenjski preval).
Follow easy walking to a sign indicating the central area of TNP, then the path begins to ascend moderately along a torrent, initially still a streamlet. Higher up, the path crosses to the right side of the torrent (viewed from the ascent direction) and then ascends transversely to Studorski preval, from which we have 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 to the right direction, and we then cross the slopes to the left for a long 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 a partially abandoned path leading over planina Zgornji Tosc joins, continue straight, the path gradually brings us to steeper and even 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.
Continue straight along the wider marked path towards Triglav, which continues north, leads us along the western slopes of Tosc, the still gentle path brings us over some scree fields to Vodnikov dom at Velem polju, where the next junction is.
Here too continue straight towards Triglav, the path begins to ascend transversely along the slopes of Vernar, higher up it also becomes technically demanding. Follow some traversing where a chain assists us, higher up we reach a steep drop, where with the help of numerous pegs and chain we ascend stone steps.
The path ahead flattens, the slope becomes less steep and near Konjsko sedlo also somewhat more grassy.
We easily descend to Konjsko sedlo, from the marked junction at the saddle we head straight on the path towards Triglavski dom na Kredarici and Staničev dom pod Triglavom (left Dom Planika pod Triglavom, right Krma valley), just a few steps ahead the path branches again.
Here the inscription on the rock Staničev dom directs us slightly right onto a nicely traceable but less trodden pathlet. The path ahead with some shorter ascents and descents crosses slopes to the right, crossing some gullies that may still be under snow in early summer. The path ahead crosses a belt of dwarf pines, then passes to a grassy slope across which it ascends transversely. The path then flattens and shortly ahead crosses the path leading from Krma over Kalvarija to Kredarica.
Continue towards Staničev dom (inscription on the rock) and continue the ascent along a moderately steep path that gets closer to the scree fields under Rž. Along a pleasant path through Ržke pode, we arrive at the mentioned scree fields, across which we begin to ascend transversely. When we reach the other side of the scree field, the path turns slightly left and begins to ascend steeply through rugged rock. The steepness quickly eases and after a few more minutes of walking we join the path coming from Krma.
Continue left towards Triglav and Staničev dom, along a gradually gentler path that brings us to a junction at the beginning of the ridge leading towards Dovška vratca and further towards Rjavina.
Turn right towards Rjavina (straight down Triglav, Staničev dom, Vrata, Kot...) and begin descending along a panoramic ridge. We descend for quite some time, losing about 100 meters of elevation, at Dovška vratca we stop descending.
Here the aforementioned shortcut joins from the right, which shortens the path by about 40 minutes, we continue straight and begin steeply ascending the western slopes of Rjavina, where looking back we have a nice view of Triglav. From the steep slope with the help of some protections we reach the western ridge of Rjavina, we continue with exceptional views towards the western subpeak or Mali Rjavina (2530 m).
Follow some descent and from the left the climbing path from Kot valley joins.
Continue straight and quickly reach a chimney, down which we descend vertically for about 30 meters of elevation, during the descent numerous pegs and staples assist us, no chain. After this very demanding passage the path becomes less demanding and past two natural windows, through one of which we have a really nice view of Škrlatica, we quickly reach the summit of Rjavina.
