Srednja vas - Koča na Uskovnici (via Lom)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further to Bohinjska Bistrica. Just before Bohinjska Bistrica, at the settlement of Bitnje, continue sharply right towards Pokljuka. After a short ascent, the road levels out and quickly brings us to the Upper Bohinj Valley. At the junction here, continue left (right Pokljuka) and follow the road to Srednja vas. In the second part of the village, notice the signs for the church of St. Martin, which direct us right onto a narrower and quite steep road, along which we quickly arrive at the church and primary school. Park in a suitable place by the school or church.

Route description:
To the left of the primary school (looking uphill) we will notice a wide, moderately steep cart track that after a few dozen steps brings us to a water intake. Here there is a sign "Uskovnica" already visible from the school, telling us we are on the right path. The cart track then enters a strip of forest and ascends steeply for a short time. The steepness soon eases as the cart track brings us to a wide gravel road, which we follow to the right. Soon to the right, a marked cart track branches off the road, which we follow uphill. The mentioned cart track crosses the aforementioned road several more times higher up, but when the slope we are walking on levels out, we continue the ascent on the already mentioned gravel road. The relatively gentle road then brings us to the Lom parking lot, but we continue on the forest road closed to public traffic, which a little further brings us to a marked junction. We continue right towards Koča na Uskovnici (straight Uskovnica) on a somewhat steeper road, along which in 15 minutes of further walking we ascend to the aforementioned mountain hut.
From the hut, we can ascend in five minutes to the nearby chapel, from which a nice view opens up.
