Rudno polje - Prevalski Stog

Access to the starting point:
a) Take the Bled, then continue driving towards Pokljuka. After Pokljuka, follow the main road to the large parking lot next to the military barracks at Rudne Polje. There is a charge for parking.
b) Take the Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue to Bled, but only as far as the road to Pokljuka. Continue in the direction of Pokljuka and at Jereka turn right towards Pokljuka and follow the signs for Pokljuka at the following junctions. When you reach Mrzlje studenec, turn left and drive to the large pay parking lot next to the military barracks at Rudne Polje.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, a dirt road branches off to the right, with signs for Triglav and Viševnik. Take this road, which climbs gently and after 10 minutes leads to the ski slope Viševnik.
Continue along the road (Viševnik and Blejska koča na Lipanci on the right), which soon turns off to the left onto a marked path towards Triglav. Continue along the above-mentioned path, which in a few minutes of moderate ascent leads to a forest road, which you follow to the left and walk along for only a few metres. The marked path then veers right and climbs steeply for a short time. After ten minutes the steepness subsides and the path slowly switches to steep slopes. After the steep slopes, the path descends gently for the most part and turns increasingly to the right. A little further on, we will see the mountain pasture Horsebox on the left below us, our path then stops descending and passes out of the forest between the dwarf pines. The path that climbs again then leads us under steep rocky cliffs and soon afterwards leads us to a crossroads where we join the path with mountain pasture Konjščica. There is a short climb and the path leads us to a beautiful valley called Jezerce.
Here the path turns left and after a few steps leads us into the narrower area of the TNP. Next, we climb along the small spring towards Studorski Preval. A little higher, cross the torrent and the path heads slightly to the right onto the 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 descending slightly, then crossing the slopes of Veliki Draški vrh and Tosc with some slight ascents and descents. After a while the path leads us to the grassy southern slope of Tosc. Here, the path to Tosc branches off to the right, and just a few metres further on, the path from Uskovnica joins us from the left. Continue straight ahead, still crossing the slopes of Tosc. The path then crosses a short lane of sparse forest in a slight descent and then leads us to steep slopes. A little further on, the path crosses the precipitous slopes of Tosc in a gentle descent along an artificially created wide ledge. 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 slightly again and leads us to a crossroads where we continue slightly left in the direction of Velo polje (sharp left Voje, straight Vodnikov dom).
The way forward begins to descend crosswise to the right and quickly leads us to an unmarked crossroads. Continue on the right marked path (left hunting lodge), which is soon laid, and then continues in crossing the slopes below Vodnikovi dom. After a few minutes the path turns slightly to the left and starts descending towards Maly and Velo Polje. After a short descent, a small pass is reached between Malo polje on the left and Velo polje on the right. Here continue left (Velo polje to the right) and follow the waymarked path which descends quickly to mountain pasture Little Field. A few minutes' walk along the above-mentioned mountain pasture, then the path turns slightly right and leads to an intermittent lake at mountain pasture below Mišelj vrh.
Go around the lake on the right (slightly to the left of Voje), then climb a slight incline to the ruined shepherd's huts at mountain pasture below Mišelj vrh.
From mountain pasture continue right towards Mišeljski preval and mountain pasture in Laz (straight Jezerski preval) on a path which turns left at the other side of mountain pasture. The trail then begins to climb moderately over a few small valleys, and then passes onto the slopes of Prevalski Stog, where it gradually begins to climb more steeply. Here we see several cairns marking the start of the unmarked path into the Mišelj valley, and we continue on the marked path, which turns slightly further to the left. The increasingly scenic path, from which we have beautiful views of Škednjovec, Mišelj vrh, Vernar and Tosc, briefly dips higher and leads us to a small sinkhole, which we pass on the right. We then cross a short grassy slope, and then arrive in a rockier world, where we climb over steep rubble to the Mišeljski Preval.
From the pass, which offers a fine view of Ogradi and Debeli vrh, continue to the left and continue the ascent along a less visible and unmarked path, which begins to climb steeply along the north-west ridge of the Prevalski Stog. The ridge is getting narrower and the path steeper, so great care is needed to avoid slipping on this part. After about 10 minutes of very steep climbing, the path is laid and only 5 minutes of easy walking are left to reach the top.
