Rudno polje - Vodnikov dom

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, from which the marked path to Triglav soon branches off to the left. After a few minutes of moderate ascent, the path leads us to a forest road, which we follow for only a few metres (we can get here by car, which shortens the journey by 20 minutes). The marked path then veers right and climbs steeply for a short time. After ten minutes, the steepness subsides and the path slowly switches to steep slopes. After these steep slopes, the trail descends gently for the most part and turns increasingly to the right. 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. Here the path turns left and after a few steps leads us into the narrower area of the TNP. Next, we climb along the 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 way forward initially descends slightly, then crosses 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 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.
