Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Mali Draški vrh

Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the exit for Lesce, then follow the signs for Bled and Pokljuka. Continue through Gorje and past the ski resort Zatrnik to Rudni Polje on Pokljuka, where there is a large pay parking lot and a military barracks and shooting range nearby. From here, continue straight along the macadam road, which leads us a little further to a crossroads, where we turn left in the direction of Uskovnica (right mountain pasture Konjščica). From here, drive another 500 m to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Nowadays, parking is forbidden in this parking lot, so you have to park at Rudno Polje, which will take about 35 minutes longer, or choose the starting point at Uskovnica (Lom).
b) From Železniki or Podbrdo, drive to Bohinjska Bistrica and then continue in the direction of Bled. Shortly after the Petrol station, which is located just after Bohinjska Bistrica, turn left in the direction of Pokljuka and Jereka. The road climbs steeply at first, then gradually flattens out behind Koriti, leading to a junction by the bus station, where you continue right in the direction of Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight ahead Srednja vas). Just after the crossroads we arrive at Jereka, and from the crossroads in front of the church we continue straight on towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road starts to climb steeply again, and higher up it levels off and continues along the Mrzle potok. When you join the road from Bled, go left and drive to Rudno Polje, where there is a large pay parking lot, and also a military barracks and a shooting range nearby. From here, continue straight on the macadam road, which leads us a little further to a crossroads where we turn left towards Uskovnica (right mountain pasture Konjščica). From here, drive another 500 m to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Nowadays, parking is forbidden in this parking lot, so you have to park at Rudno Polje, which will take about 35 minutes longer, or choose the starting point at Uskovnica (Lom).

Path description:
From the former parking lot at the crossroads, continue along the macadam road closed to public traffic in the direction of Uskovnica. The road immediately starts to descend quite steeply and quickly leads to a bridge over the Ribnica River (the Ribnica is the stream that separates Uskovnica from Pokljuka). After the bridge, the road turns sharp left and then crosses the slopes above the right bank of the Ribnica River in a gentle descent. A few 10 metres further on, you reach a small crossroads, where you turn sharp right in the direction mountain pasture Konjščica (straight Uskovnica). The way forward first climbs moderately along the pasture, then for a few minutes completely lays down. When the road starts to climb again, the path from the chapel on Uskovnica (not marked) joins us from the left, and we continue to the right.
A little further on we get a nice view towards Viševnik, and then cart track climbs for some time, 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, 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 further on to Srenjski preval, first climbs gently up to a nearby stream, crosses it, and then climbs further 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 Srenjski preval continue left along the unmarked and less visible path, which starts to climb steeply up and along the unmarked gully (sharp left Studor overval). The path climbs slightly to the right of the gully in the lower part, then briefly switches to its left (direction of ascent) side. Higher up, the gully climbs steeper and the path starts to disappear. Next, climb steeply up the ravine (with caution because of the large drop) and you will see some very old and completely faded markings along the "way". After a good 20 minutes of climbing, we reach a precipitous ridge, which opens up a beautiful view of the Krme valley and the peaks that surround it.
From here you can climb to the nearby eastern peak, which is a few metres away by an easier climb on an exposed ridge, or to the slightly more distant, but a few metres higher, western peak. This is reached by descending a little, then climbing a fairly exposed ridge in a few 10 steps to reach the summit.
