Uskovnica (Lom) - Koča na Uskovnici

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 another part of the village, you will see signs for Uskovnica (7 km), which direct you to the right onto a narrower, initially asphalt road. Follow the road, which climbs most of the time, to the "Lom" parking lot, where there is a sign prohibiting further driving (only landowners are allowed to drive further).

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue in the route Koča na Uskovnici, following the road which leads quickly out of the forest, where you will see signs for cheese, milk and homemade products. A short path branches off the road to the left and leads to the nearby cheese cottage pr Ulčnek, where you can buy the aforementioned products during the grazing season, otherwise continue straight ahead until you reach a marked crossroads a few steps away, where you continue to the right in the direction of Koča na Uskovnice. The way forward leads us first past the sign (cross) and then on between the pastures. When the pastures end on the right, the marked path from Srednja vas (the "Za Ribnico" path) joins us from the right.
Continue straight on, then pass the cottages to reach a water trough and a few steps further on to a place where the signs for the familiar cottage direct you left to cart track. A short climb up the cart track and the path leads to Koča na Uskovnici, from which you can continue past the bumpy meadows to the chapel, which is just 5 minutes away and offers a beautiful view.
