Konec ceste na Pokljuki - Tosc

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 there is also a barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which a bit further leads to a junction where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico at the end of the road (nearby mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park already at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more appropriate 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 after Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left towards Pokljuka and Jereka. The road first ascends steeply, then after Koriti gradually flattens and leads 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 starts to ascend more steeply again, higher it flattens and continues along 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 there is also a barracks and shooting range. From here continue straight on the gravel road, which a bit further leads to a junction where we continue right (left Uskovnica). Follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico at the end of the road (nearby mountain signs for planina Konjščica).
Parking at the end of the road is now prohibited, so park already at Rudno polje, which extends the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more appropriate 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 along the wide and initially ascending cart track towards planina Konjščica. The track enters dense forest immediately, levels out quickly, and after a few minutes of easy walking turns into a footpath continuing along the left bank of the Ribnica stream. When the path approaches the stream, it turns slightly right and ascends more steeply. Higher up, it levels and leads from the forest to the lower edge of the vast planina Konjščica. Here the path turns slightly left, crosses a brook and after a few more steps reaches the dairy at planina Konjščica.
From the dairy, follow the pleasant path which brings us in a few minutes of gentle ascent to the upper edge of the planina. Here the path enters a 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 on the moderately steep path which in a few more minutes leads to Jezerca where it levels and turns left (a path branches right to Srenjski preval here).
Follows easy walking to a sign indicating the central TNP area, then the path begins to ascend moderately along a gully, initially a streamlet. Higher, the path crosses to the right side of the gully (as viewed in ascent direction) and then ascends transversely to Studorski preval from which a nice view opens to the mountains above Bohinj.
Here a demanding path from Srenjski preval joins from the right, and from our path unmarked tracks also branch to Ablanca and Veliki Draški vrh.
From the saddle first descend steeply for a short while, then the path turns to the right direction, and we then traverse the slopes to the left for longer with some shorter easy ascents and descents. From the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh we gradually arrive at the slopes of massive Tosc, we with nice views continue to the marked junction for Tosc, the path ahead is unmarked.
Continue on the unmarked but well traceable path which starts ascending ever more steeply across the grassy southeast slopes of Tosc. The increasingly steep path slowly turns somewhat right, then sharply left and almost levels out. Follows traversing a short steep slope, then the path leads to less steep slopes where it begins to fade gradually. The less visible little path then turns slightly right and starts ascending somewhat more steeply. After a few minutes of ascent we step onto indistinct Mali Tosc from which a view of Tosc opens. Follows a short descent and the path past a larger sinkhole which we bypass on the right brings us to the summit base of Tosc. The path ahead ascends moderately across pleasant grassy slope and after a few more minutes of walking leads to the summit of Tosc.
Orientation in fog is fairly difficult.
