Rudno polje - Ablanca (via Jezerca and Studorski preval)

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:
From the large parking lot opposite the barracks at Rudne Polje, first cross the road and then look for the start of the forest road (there are also signs for Triglav at the start of the forest road), which leads to the Viševnik ski resort. After about 10 minutes' walk along the road, you will arrive at the foot of the ski slope, where the marked trail splits into two parts. The right-hand path leads to Viševnik and Blejska koča na Lipanci, and we continue along the road for a short distance in the direction of Triglav, Vodnikov dom and Studorski preval. When the road returns to the forest, you will see a marked path on the left, which begins to climb moderately through the forest. After a few minutes, get back on the road, which you will reach at a medium sized parking lot with space for about 20 cars (it is also possible to get here by car, this will shorten the journey by about 20 minutes).
When you reach the parking lot, walk along the road for a few 10 m, and then signs will lead you slightly to the right onto a waymarked and well-trodden path that begins to climb through the forest. After a few minutes, the path lays down and gradually passes onto the relatively steep southern slopes of Plesišče (1790 m). There are a few minutes of scrambling, and then you reach the back of the aforementioned peak. Here the marked path turns right (straight down leads the unmarked but well-trodden path to Planina Konjščica) and descends some more. A little further on, we will see mountain pasture Konjščico below us on the left. Our path then stops descending and passes out of the forest between 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, where the path is laid.
At the beginning of Jezerce, where there is also a marked crossroads, continue left (right Srenjski preval and Viševnik) in the direction of Studorski preval, Vodnikov dom and Triglav.
The path then starts to climb moderately along the torrent (initially a small spring). The path goes higher up to the right side of the torrent (as seen from the direction of ascent) and then crosses Studorski preval, which opens up to a beautiful view of the Bohinj side of the mountain. At the pass where you leave the markings, go left up the path. The trail quickly leads to a crumbly terrain, where you can quickly trigger rocks, so take care. There is a steeper path that leads to a ridge. Follow this path, which is quite dangerous to slip on (due to the quicksand on the path), to the top of Ablanca.
Rudno Polje - Studorski preval 2:20, Studorski preval - Ablanca 20 minutes.

On the way: Jezerce (1720m), Studorski preval (1892m)
