end of road on Pokljuka - Koča na Doliču

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 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 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 up cart track towards mountain pasture Konjščica. Cart track, which climbs steeply at first, soon becomes steep and turns into a footpath a little higher up. A moderate ascent follows, following the path which climbs along the Ribnica stream, which has a waterfall in its upper part, which can be seen from the path. Further on, the path 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 becomes dwarf pines and starts to climb, first gently and then steeply. In the last part of the ascent, the path from Rudno Polje joins from the right. There is only a short climb along the torrent to the grassy plain of Jezerce. Here the path turns left and after a few steps leads us into the narrower area of the TNP. Next, we climb along a small spring towards Studorski Preval. A little higher, cross the torrent and the path turns slightly right into 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 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 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 soon becomes a track and then continues crossing the slopes below the Vodnikovi dom (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, the path from the Voje valley joins us on the left, and we continue to the right and after a few 10 steps reach the shepherd's huts at mountain pasture Velo polje. From mountain pasture continue slightly right (straight ahead) along a path which crosses the large mountain pasture. On the other side of mountain pasture you come to stone barriers which prevent torrents from filling up this beautiful mountain pasture. Just a few metres before the stone barrier, the path turns slightly left and ascends into a sparse, mostly larch forest. The path then turns slightly more to the left and leads us along gently sloping and slightly overgrown grassy slopes to the aforementioned torrent. The path continues for some time climbing steeply along the torrent, and then climbs steeply under the walls of the Šmarjetna glave. The steepness then quickly subsides and the increasingly rocky path leads us under the walls and scree of the surrounding peaks to the Dolič saddle. Continue straight ahead (Hribarice on the left, Planika on the right) along the path, which begins to descend gradually and leads us after less than 10 minutes to the Cottage on Dolič.
