Pri Rupah - Vrh Razora

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway, we 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 to ascend more steeply, to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 m behind the crossroads, where the road to Bohinj branches off to the left downhill). 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, follow the road in the direction of the mountain pasture (Za)Javornik. The road then runs past the mentioned mountain pasture and a good kilometre ahead 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 Blejska koča on Lipanca, which past the NOB monument quickly leads us into the forest. The path, which initially ascends gently, rises a bit more after about 10 minutes 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 point where we join the path from mountain pasture Javornik. The fairly wide path, which all the time runs in the embrace of spruce forests, then higher brings us to the next junction, where we continue again in the direction of 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 in the direction of Viševnik and Mrežce on the path from which, soon after, a path branches off to the left downhill towards Rudno polje. We continue straight ahead, and the moderately steep path brings us after a short ascent to the next junction, where we continue in the direction of Viševnik (right: steep path to Mrežce). The path then, in a gentle descent, crosses an avalanche-prone area in poor conditions and begins to ascend gently on the other side. The path ascends through increasingly sparse forest and soon brings us to the next junction.
We continue left (right: gentle path to Mrežce) on the path which crosses the southern slopes of the less known peak (Vrh Razora). On this section, we also leave the marked path and head right onto the slopes of Vrh Razora. The direct ascent to the summit is blocked by a belt of dwarf pines, through which we must force our way (on hot days, watch out for snakes). Once we break through the belt of dwarf pines, we reach the panoramic and little-visited summit.
The ascent through the dwarf pines takes less than 10 minutes.
