Pri Rupah - Blejska koča na Lipanci

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the Lesce exit and follow the road in the direction of Bled; there, at the traffic-light crossroads, signs for Pokljuka direct us to the right. We follow this road, which in the lower part runs through some villages and later starts to ascend more steeply, to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located more than 50 meters past the crossroads where the road to Bohinj branches off to the left downward). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture, the road to Medvedova konta, Pri Rupah, and mountain pasture Javornik branches off to the right from the main road. Here we turn right and, at the next crossroads, follow the road in the direction of the mountain pasture (Za)Javornik. The road then runs past the mentioned mountain pasture and about a kilometer further brings us to the parking lot at the monument to the fallen NOB fighters.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of the Blejska koča mountain hut on Lipanca, which past the NOB monument quickly leads us into the forest. The path, which at first ascends gently, after about 10 minutes ascends a bit more steeply and brings us to a forest road, which we merely cross. We continue on the cart track in the direction of Lipanca, which higher up brings us to the spot where we join the path from mountain pasture Javornik. The fairly wide path, which all the while runs embraced by spruce forests, then higher up brings us to the next junction, where we again continue in the direction of Lipanca (left). We continue the ascent on a very wide cart track, which with a gentle incline brings us in a few minutes to the grazing area of mountain pasture Lipanca. Here the path turns right and leads us in a moderate ascent along the right lower edge of the mentioned mountain pasture. This is followed by crossing a grassy slope, and the path, which brings us back into the forest, makes a sharp right turn at the NOB monument, after which we reach the shepherd's and mountain hut on mountain pasture Lipanca.
