Parkirišče Uskovnica - Planina Zajamniki

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Just a little before Bohinjska Bistrica, at the settlement Bitnje, we continue sharply right in the direction of Pokljuka. After a short ascent the road flattens and quickly brings us into Zgornja Bohinjska dolina. Here at the crossroads we continue left (right Pokljuka) and follow the road ahead to Srednja vas. Here in the second part of the village we notice signs for Uskovnica, which direct us right onto a narrower and quite steep road, which later loses the asphalt covering. We drive approximately 7 km in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Uskovnici. We come to the parking lot, where a sign prohibits further driving and we park there.

Traffic regulations in the Pokljuka and Uskovnica area from 15.6. to 15.10.

Route description:
From the parking lot we continue past the mountain farms and pastures towards Uskovnica. We slowly ascend along the cart track and arrive at a crossroads, where we continue right towards the mountain hut and chapel. Soon we arrive at the Dom na Uskovnici.
From here, in five minutes of gentle ascent, we arrive at the chapel. At the crossroads near the chapel we continue right onto the ascending road. After a short ascent we arrive at a crossroads, where we continue straight ahead. The road descends to a bridge, where there is a parking lot called Razpotje. We continue left (right Planina Šeh) and ascend to the next crossroads, where the signs direct us right towards Zajamniki. After a short ascent the road descends to the Planina Praprotnica. At the junction the signs direct us to Planina Šeh, but we continue straight ahead along the road, which ascends again for some time. After 30 minutes we reach the Zajamniki signpost, where we turn right. After a few minutes we are at Planina Zajamniki. For the view we walk past the cottages to the old house at the top of the Planina.
