Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenica take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica. Just before Bohinjska Bistrica, at Bitnje, take a sharp right in the direction of Pokljuka. After a short climb, the road flattens out and quickly leads into the Upper Bohinj Valley. Here, at the crossroads, continue left (Pokljuka on the right) and follow the road to Srednja vas. Here, in the second part of the village, you will see signs for St Martin's Church, which direct you to the right onto a narrower and rather steep road, which you will then quickly follow to the church and the primary school. Park in a suitable place next to the school or church.
Path description:
From the church parking lot, walk a few steps down to the primary school, and from there continue towards the viewpoint on Kresu. The way forward leads us along a narrower asphalt road, which quickly leads to a larger water reservoir, where we see signs for Uskovnica. Continue along cart track, which turns into a forest, and at the right-hand bend, step out of the forest and a beautiful view of Rudnica and part of the Upper Bohinj valley opens up. Continue along cart track, which leads through a slightly narrower passage, then in a cross-climb to a place where you reach the road leading to Uskovnica. The road reaches the beautifully landscaped lookout point at Kres, from which a view opens up towards Srednji vas, the Upper Bohinj valley and the Lower Bohinj mountains in the background. Continue along the road for a short distance, and then at the end of a gentle left-hand bend, signs for Uskovnica direct you right to cart track, which leads you through the woods, lane bushes, and higher up through the woods again. A few minutes higher, we reach the dirt road again, but this time we leave it immediately as we continue in the direction of the footpath to Uskovnica. Cart track soon forks, and we continue along the left one, where we see a marker on a power pole. Continue along the power line for a while and follow the markings. Soon a path branches off to the left, leading to Uskovnica via Lom, and we continue on the path, which turns slightly right and passes onto the steep slopes of the area called Za Ribnico (Ribnica is a stream deep below us). Higher up, we reach the newer cart track or logging trail, and follow it to the right. The newer logging trail ends after a few minutes and continues to cross the slopes to the right. A little further on, at a small crossroads, continue along the upper left path, along which there are signs for Uskovnica and which is visibly more beaten. Further on, climb a little steeper along the path, from which an unmarked path branches off a little higher up towards Lom (the sign says "cheese, cottage cheese, milk and more").
Continue again in the direction of Uskovnica, then in a few minutes reach a macadam road (reach the part of the road where it is already closed to public traffic), which you follow to the right. Once on the road, join the trail from Stara Fužina, the trail from Srednja vas via Lom and the trail from the starting point or Lom parking lot. The winding macadam road leads quickly to the cottages on Uskovnica, and then, just past the water trough, leave it and continue left on cart track towards the Cottage on Uskovnica. After about 50 metres of ascent on cart track you will reach the Hut on Uskovnica. From the hut continue in the direction of Tosc, Draškega vrh, Viševnik, Vodnikov dom, Rudni polje and Praprotnice along the path which first crosses the grazing fence and then quickly joins the macadam road, which you follow to the right. The road then leads between bumpy meadows, and after crossing the next fence you quickly reach a crossroads at the Chapel of Our Lady Queen of Peace at Uskovnica.
At the chapel, the path to Vodnikov dom continues to the left, the path to Pokljuka continues to the right, and we continue straight on in the direction of mountain pasture Konjščica (also one of the paths that can be used to reach Velo polje, or Vodnik's home). We continue between fenced pastures, along the relatively steep cart track, which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. Higher up, the path, which leads us past a few more cottages, flattens out and we join the wider cart track, which leads from Pokljuka, or from the vicinity of the bridge over the Ribnica River (in the descriptions, the starting point is Uskovnica (Razpotje)), towards mountain pasture Konjšica.
A little further on, a nice view opens towards Viševnik, and cart track then climbs for some time crosswise, mostly through the forest. Higher up, we cross a pasture fence and the path leads us to the south-western edge of mountain pasture Konjščica. Here the path, which was occasionally a little steeper again, completely flattens out and leads us across mountain pasture. While crossing, cross a few small streams, then cross a slightly larger stream behind a small cross, and in a few steps reach the cheese cottage at mountain pasture Konjščica, where it is possible to buy some dairy products during the grazing season.
Before the cheese cottage, continue slightly left in the direction of Triglav and Vodnikov dom to Velo polje, following the path which climbs gently towards the northern part of mountain pasture. When mountain pasture ends the path passes between dwarf pines surrounded by individual trees and begins to climb moderately. With views of the surrounding mountains, you will quickly reach a marked crossroads, where the marked path from Rudno Polje joins from the right.
Continue slightly left in the direction of Studorski preval and climb slightly steeper for a few minutes. Higher up, the valley narrows, and then you reach a grassy level at Jezerci, where the next marked crossroads are. Here the path towards Triglav turns left, and we continue to the right, past the bench in the direction of Viševnik and Srenjski preval. The trail, which is clearly visible but unmarked as far as Srenjski preval, first climbs gently up to a nearby stream, crosses it, and then climbs up to the source of the stream. After the spring, the path becomes steeper and splits into two parts. Higher up, the two paths merge, and we, with beautiful views of the nearby columns and peaks surrounding Jezerce, reach Srenjski preval in a few more minutes, where we see the markings again.
From the pass we continue right (left Studorski preval and Mali Draški vrh, straight Blejska koča na Lipanci) and climb along a picturesque and scenic ridge. The path, which is technically a little more difficult, climbs crosswise up a relatively steep slope, then returns to the ridge and a few steps further on passes to the right side of the ridge, where it continues to lead us crosswise across a slightly steeper grassy slope. With increasingly beautiful views of the mountains above Bohinj, the path returns to the ridge where it crosses a short exposed slope where a little more caution is needed. After this part, it is only a short walk to the top of Viševnik.
Srednja vas - Koča na Uskovnici 1:40, Koča na Uskovnici - mountain pasture Konjščica 1:10, mountain pasture Konjščica - Viševnik 1:50.
