Pri Rupah - Mrežce (direct way)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards 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 ascending more steeply, to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 meters behind the crossroads, where the road to Bohinj branches off left downwards). 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 in the next crossroads we follow the road in the direction of the mountain pasture (Za)Javornik. The road then runs past the mentioned mountain pasture and a good kilometer ahead brings us to a parking lot at the monument to fallen NOB soldiers.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath towards Blejska koča on Lipanca, which past the NOB monument quickly leads us into the forest. The path, which initially ascends gently, ascends somewhat more steeply after about 10 minutes and brings us to a forest road, which we merely cross. We continue on the cart track towards Lipanca, which higher up brings us to the point where we join the path from mountain pasture Javornik. The fairly wide path, which all the time runs embraced by spruce forests, then brings us higher to the next junction, where we continue towards Lipanca (left). We continue the ascent on a very wide cart track, which in a gentle ascent 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 and mountain hut on mountain pasture Lipanca.
From the hut we continue left towards Viševnik and Mrežce on the path, from which a path towards Rudno polje soon branches off left downwards. We continue straight and the moderately steep path brings us after a short ascent to the next junction, where we continue right upwards (straight: Viševnik, Debeli vrh and Mrežce gentle path) on the path, which starts to ascend steeply, first through a belt of sparse forest and higher through dwarf pines. To the increasingly panoramic path, from which a view opens onto the highest peaks of the Julian Alps, a somewhat longer gentle path joins a little below the summit. We continue right and in a few next steps step onto the summit.
