End of road on Pokljuka - Vrh Snežne konte

Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the exit for Lesce, then follow the signs for Bled and Pokljuka. Continue through Gorje and past the ski resort Zatrnik to Rudni Polje on Pokljuka, where there is a large pay parking lot and a military barracks and shooting range nearby. From here, continue straight along the macadam road, which leads us a little further to a crossroads, where we continue to the right (Uskovnica on the left). Follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico, which is at the end of the road (there are mountain signs for mountain pasture Konjščico).
After the new parking at the end of the road is forbidden, so we park already at Rudne polje, which lengthens the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more convenient to choose the marked trail, which starts already at Rudne polje.
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo, take the road to Bohinjska Bistrica and then continue in the direction of Bled. Shortly after the Petrol station, which is located just after Bohinjska Bistrica, turn left in the direction of Pokljuka and Jereka. The road climbs steeply at first, then gradually flattens out behind Koriti, leading to a junction by the bus station, where you continue right in the direction of Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight ahead Srednja vas). Just after the crossroads we arrive at Jereka, and from the crossroads in front of the church we continue straight on towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road starts to climb steeply again, and higher up it levels off and continues along the Mrzle potok. When you join the road from Bled, go left and drive to Rudno Polje, where there is a large pay parking lot, and also a military barracks and a shooting range nearby. From here, continue straight along the macadam road, which leads us a little further to a crossroads, where we continue to the right (Uskovnica on the left). Follow this road to the former parking lot Za Ribnico, which is at the end of the road (there are mountain signs for mountain pasture Konjščico).
After the new parking at the end of the road is forbidden, so we park already at Rudne polje, which lengthens the route by about 40 minutes, but it is more convenient to choose the marked trail, which starts already at Rudne polje.

Path description:
From the former parking lot, continue right uphill to cart track in the direction of mountain pasture Konjščica. Cart track, which climbs steeply at first, soon becomes level and turns into a footpath a little higher up. A moderate ascent follows, following a path that climbs alongside the Ribnica stream, which has a waterfall in its upper part that can be seen from the path. The path then crosses a small spring and passes into the mountain pasture Konjščica grazing area. After a few dozen steps, the path crosses another small spring and ascends gently to the cheese-maker's hut at mountain pasture.
From mountain pasture, continue up the gently sloping meadow slightly to the other side of mountain pasture. There the path turns into dwarf pines and begins to climb, first gently and then steeply. In the last part of the ascent to Jezerce, the path from Rudno polje joins us from the right. There is only a short climb along the torrent to the grassy plain of Jezerce. Here the path turns left (right Srenjski preval, Viševnik. . . ) and after a few steps leads us into the narrower area of TNP. Next, we climb along the small spring towards Studorski Preval. A little higher, we cross a torrent, and the path turns slightly right into grassy slopes surrounded by dwarf pines. The path then ascends crosswise to Studorski preval, from which a fine view of the Bohinj side opens up.
The path continues, initially slightly downhill, then with some slight ascents and descents, crosses the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh and Tosc. After a while the path leads us to the grassy southern slope of Tosc, where the path to Tosc branches off to the right, and just a few metres further on we are joined on the left by the path from Uskovnice.
Continue straight ahead, the path still crosses the slopes of Tosc. The path then crosses a short lane of sparse forest in a gentle descent, and then leads us to steep slopes. A little further on, the path crosses the precipitous slopes of Tosc on an artificially created wide ledge in a gentle descent. As the path is quite wide it does not cause any problems (caution due to falling rocks, rock fall in 2008). The path then climbs gently again and leads to a crossroads where we continue to the right in the direction of Vodnikov dom. There is a further walk of about ten minutes without any major ascents or descents to Vodnikov dom in Velo Polje. From home, continue straight on in the direction Triglav (right up Bohinjska vratca). The path climbs moderately and crosses the slopes below Vernar. Soon we come across the first small steel cable, which helps us to overcome a short ledge. The path continues to climb the scree and leads us higher up to a steep rock jump. A well-protected path leads us up steep steps to the top of this jump. A few metres of scrambling up the steep slope is followed, and then the path leads to the open areas near Konjski preval, which is reached after a short descent.
From Konjski preval continue straight on in the direction of Kredarica (left Planika, right Krma) along the path, which after a few steps leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue slightly to the left (slightly to the right Staničev dom). The path continues to climb cross-cuttingly, crossing a large number of small ravines, the crossing of which, however, is not difficult. A little further on, the path crosses some technically difficult places using the fixed safety gear. After this, the path from the Krma valley joins us from the right, and just a few metres further on we reach the next crossroads. Continue to the right (Planika on the left) along a moderately steep path which, within a few minutes of further walking, leads to an undistinguished ridge connecting Vrh Snežne konte with Kredarica.
Just a few 10 metres before we reach the ridge, we leave the marked path leading to Kredarica and continue to the right, following the easier pathless world. The "path" ahead first gently descends to a small saddle, then begins to climb along an increasingly narrow ridge. Follow the ridge to Vrh Snežne konte, which is reached after a few minutes of further walking.
