Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Triglav (via Planika and Mali Triglav)

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 Zatrnik ski resort 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 turn left in the direction of Uskovnica (right mountain pasture Konjščica). From here, drive another 500 m to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Nowadays, parking is forbidden in this parking lot, so you have to park at Rudno Polje, which will take about 35 minutes longer, or choose the starting point at Uskovnica (Lom).
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo, drive 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 shooting range nearby. From here, continue straight on the macadam road, which leads us a little further to a crossroads where we turn left towards Uskovnica (right mountain pasture Konjščica). From here, drive another 500 m to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Nowadays, parking is forbidden in this parking lot, so you have to park at Rudno Polje, which will take about 35 minutes longer, or choose the starting point at Uskovnica (Lom).

Path description:
From the road closure, descend about 15 minutes to mountain pasture Uskovnica. Here there is a chapel and next to it drinking water at Uskovnica. Lok for the path going to Vodnikov dom (the first one to the right of the chapel is wide cart track). The path is marked, but it is still difficult to find the start of the right path because of the large number of paths on Uskovnica. If you are not sure, it is better to ask someone if you have the chance. The path slowly leaves mountain pasture and hides in the wods, where you come across a small spring. Then walk along the western slopes of Ablanca, which are quite steep in places. Soon you come out of the forest, where you cross a considerable number of ravines. One is very awkward to cross. Caution! Just after this gully, cross a torrent of water, which dries up in dry periods. The path after this becomes easier. We are now walking under the slopes of Tosc. The path becomes a little steeper and splits into two parts. The two paths join after a one-hour climb on the Pokljuka - Triglav path, where you turn left. The trail continues crossing the southern slopes of Tosc. The path then crosses a short lane of sparse forest in a gentle descent and then leads to steep slopes. A little further on, the path crosses the precipitous slopes of Tosc on an artificially made 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 slightly again and leads us to a crossroads where we continue to the right in the direction of Vodnikov's home. There is a further walk of about ten minutes without any major ascents or descents to the Vodnik's home.
From the hut, continue straight on in the direction of Triglava (right up Bohinjska vratca). The path climbs moderately and crosses the slopes below Vernar. Soon we come across the first steel cable, which helps us to overcome a short ledge. The way forward climbs on scree and then leads us to a steep rock jump. A well-protected path leads us up steep steps to the top of this jump. There are a few metres of scrambling up the steep slope, and then the path leads to the open areas near the Konjski Preval. This is reached after a short descent. Continue left in the direction of the Planika lodge (straight Kredarica, right Krma). The path continues to climb on scree in zigzag turns (in keys) to an undistinguished side ridge. Here the path turns right and bypasses a larger karst sinkhole on the right, where snow stays for most of the year. A few minutes of climbing follows and the path leads to the house on Planika.
At the hut, we take the path in the direction Triglav over Mali Triglav. The initially gentle path first crosses the plain below Triglav and then begins to climb steeply. Continue up the path, which is in places littered with gravel (quicksand on the path), to the ravine below Mali Triglav. The crossing of the ravine is not difficult and is protected. At the top of the ravine, a view opens up to the other side of the abyss. Next, a more scenic route with the help of fixed safety gear leads us to the undistinguished top of the Small Triglav from which we descend slightly (here the path from Kredarica joins us from the right). The exposed but perfectly protected path along the ridge follows. In the last part the path climbs steeper and leads us to Stanič's shelter, which is 30m from the path. To the top, the steepness eases and the scenic route leads us to the top of Triglav, where the Aljaž Tower stands.
