Rudno polje - Viševnik (via Kačji rob)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled. At the traffic lights in Bled, the signs for Pokljuka direct you to the right. Continue through Gorje and past the abandoned ski resort Zatrnik to Rudni Polje on Pokljuka (a large parking lot, a military barracks and a shooting range).

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, a macadam road branches off to the right with signposts for Triglav. Take this road, which climbs gently and after 10 minutes leads to the ski resort. Continue along the road, which soon turns off to the left and becomes a marked path towards Triglav, and we continue along the road which crosses the ski resort at a slightly higher level. At this point, a marked path branches off to the left up to Viševnik, which we continue to climb. The path continues up along the ski slope to the next lift. Here the path turns left up along the second lift and soon leads to the top of the ski slope. The path continues up the slightly overgrown slope through the beautiful valley, which is full of flowers in summer. There is a steeper climb for a few minutes up to a dilapidated hunting observatory. At this point, leave the path at Viševnik and turn right onto a faintly visible path that climbs gently upwards through a meadow. A little higher up, the track becomes more obvious and turns into dwarf pines. The path then crosses the side ridge Viševnik called Kačji rob and after this it enters the high mountains. A beautiful path with numerous karst phenomena then leads to a crossroads where you continue along the left path in the direction of Srenjski preval (right Blejska koča), which you reach after a few minutes of further walking.
From Srenjski preval continue left (straight down Jezerce, right Studorski preval and Mali Draški vrh) along a path that climbs crosswise over a relatively crumbly slope (slip hazard). Higher up, the path passes to the west side of the ridge and dips slightly. This is followed by a cross-climb along a path that runs along the main ridge of Viševnik. Just a few metres below the summit, the path crosses a short exposed ledge, and then, without much difficulty, reaches the top of Viševnik.
You can descend along the normal route.
