Rudno polje - Draški rob (via Zgornji Razor)

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 parking lot, take the forest road (direction Triglav), which will take you up to the Viševnik ski slope in ten minutes. Here, signs lead you to the right (the Triglav trail continues along the road) onto a marked footpath which continues to climb moderately along the edge of the forest and along the lift of the nearby ski resort. The path continues along the road, which first crosses the ski slope (Mt Krasce), then passes into the forest and splits into two parts.
Continue to the left (straight Blejska koča) and follow the forest road closed to public traffic, which quickly leads to a short scenic part of the trail. Here the road turns sharp left and leads back into the forest on a slight incline. A little higher up, the road turns to the right and then begins a gradual descent.
As the road starts to descend, keep your eyes peeled, as soon there will be a faint unmarked cart track to the left.
Continue along the above-mentioned cart track, which leads us to a clearing or clearing in 3 minutes. Here we climb straight up the clearing, where we see an old hunting track, along which we continue our ascent. The path then leads into the forest, where it completely lays down. For a short time, we continue along an undistinguished valley, where we can observe numerous karst phenomena (potholes, Škraplje, etc. ), and then we move on to the gently sloping slopes, where the path slowly begins to disappear, but at least for the time being there are no major problems with the traceability of the path. The trail continues for a while crossing the slopes to the right, and then leads us to the lower part of the Zgornji Razor valley. Here, the barely visible path turns slightly to the left and continues to climb along the edge of the aforementioned valley. Initially, we climb on the right side, then the path, which is completely lost a few times, slowly passes to the left side of the valley, where it then climbs under steep slopes. During the ascent, we have to cross some fallen trees, but the path, which is no longer a path, leads us out of the forest and onto the slopes, which are becoming more and more scenic. Here we continue straight along the widening valley, and after a few minutes' further walking we come out on the marked path leading from Blejska koča towards the Srenjski Preval. When you get on the marked path, follow it to the left, and it quickly leads to a marked crossroads, where the path to the right branches off to Debeli vrh, and we continue slightly to the left along the path, which on the left side bypasses the aforementioned peak. With views of the Pokljuka plateau and the Lower Bohinj Mountains, we cross the occasional slightly steeper slopes for a while, and then, after a second branch to the right forks off to Debeli vrh, we reach Solnice (at Solnice is the lowest point of the ridge between Tosec and Debelo Pja).
From Solnice, we have a beautiful view of Krma and the mountains that rise steeply above it. The path continues to Blejsko konto (the valley between Veliki Selišnik and Draški rob), where it climbs first gently and then steeply. After a short steep climb, the path suddenly lays down and leads us into the plateau world south of the Dražski rim.
Here (before reaching the marked crossroads below Srenjski preval) a fine passage between dwarf pines will open up on the right (on the right a smaller cairn is visible). The ascent continues on easier potholes, but the passages between dwarf pines help us to find the smaller cairns, which quickly help us to reach the ridge between Mali Draški vrh on the left and Draški rob on the right. Once on the ridge, continue to the right and climb along it to the steep summit slope of the Dras Edge. Here you first climb over a short rock step and then over dwarf pines to the ridge of the Dras Edge. Here, continue left and follow dwarf pines to the 1979 m high summit, which offers a beautiful view of the Krma valley.
