Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Viševnik (via source of Zlata voda)

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, 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 at 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.
Go around the cheese cottage on the right and continue for a short distance along the marked path which starts descending towards Pokljuka (in the descriptions, the starting point is the end of the road at Pokljuka). After crossing the nearby stream, where the marked path turns right, continue straight on to the unmarked path which starts climbing up through the pastures of mountain pasture Konjščica.
When you leave the stream bed, the path is lost and laid. Cross the grazing area and continue eastwards or slightly further to the right until the track becomes more distinct. After crossing a torrential gully, the track becomes more distinct and, with fine views of the mountains surrounding mountain pasture Konjščica, begins to climb more steeply. Higher up, the path turns into a forest, and then quickly leads to the marked Rudno polje - Triglav trail, which is reached just at a sort of back. Follow the marked path down to the left, and we follow it only until we cross the first torrent. At the torrent, leave the marked trail and continue climbing along the torrent, initially straight up. Soon we can see the footprints of our predecessors, and a few steps higher we see a well-traced path (you can also get here by following the path that branches off into the woods from the aforementioned back (the start of the path is not visible)). Here the path crosses a small stream to the right, and then turns slowly in a semicircle to the left, where it leads us across a meadow, where the path is not visible. As we approach the stream again we see the track again, but it crosses the stream and starts to climb crossways on the other side. The path then climbs into a small valley, where it disappears again. When the valley flattens out, continue right, where after a few metres you see the track again, this time more distinct. From the point where we left the valley, we walk for only a minute or two, and then we see a small cairn along the path, at which the path splits into two parts. The left path leads to the saddle between Viševnik and Plesišče, while the path that continues straight ahead joins the marked Rudno polje - Viševnik path at Zlaté vode.
Continue straight on the trail, which then ascends the slopes of Plesišče. Higher up, you reach the ridge of the above-mentioned peak, where you climb it for a short time, then the path turns slightly right and passes onto the eastern slopes. Continue ascending cross-climbing for a few minutes, then enter a pasture where the track begins to disappear. Continue walking in roughly the same direction, where, with a bit of luck, you will reach the source of the Golden Water.
From the spring, continue straight ahead or slightly left, then in a few minutes join the marked Rudno polje - Viševnik trail, which is reached between a marked crossroads where the trail branches off towards Blejska koča na Lipanci and the saddle between Plesišče and Viševnik. When you reach the trail, continue to the left and then quickly climb to the saddle from where you will have a beautiful view.
At this saddle, you will reach the marked Rudno polje - Viševnik trail, which you follow to the left. The way forward climbs first moderately and then steeply through lane of dwarf pines. Higher up, dwarf pines ends and the path leads to a mini-valley from where a fine view opens up. Further on, we climb up a steeper and more scenic grassy slope, and the path then turns slightly to the right and leads us in a cross-climb to the ridge Viševnika, where we have a nice view towards Rjavina and the surrounding mountains. The trail continues along and along the ridge and climbs only moderately for some time. After a short crossing, we arrive at the bottom of Viševnik, where the path becomes quite steep (this part is often icy in winter) and leads us to a scenic summit in a few minutes. Starting point - mountain pasture Konjščica 1:05, mountain pasture Konjščica - Viševnik 1:50.
