End of road on Pokljuka - Prevalski Stog

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road ahead towards Bled. In Bled at the traffic lights, the signs for Pokljuka point us to the right. Ahead we drive through Gorje and past the abandoned ski slope Zatrnik to Rudno polje on Pokljuka (large parking lot, barracks and shooting range). From here we continue straight on a macadam road which a little further brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right (left Uskovnica). We follow this road to a parking lot at the end of the road (near are signposts for a mountain pasture Konjščica).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue right upward on a cart track in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Konjščica.. Cart track that at first ascends steeply soon becomes gentle and a bit higher turns into a footpath. Next follows a moderate ascent on the path that is ascending by the stream Ribnica which in the upper part has a watterfall that we can see from the path. Further, the path crosses a well and passes to grazing area of the mountain pasture Konjščica. After few ten strides path crosses the next well and ascends a little to cheese cottage on the mountain pasture.
From the mountain pasture, we continue on a gently sloping meadow slightly upwards to the other side of the pasture.. There path passes into dwarf pines and at first, it starts gently ascending, but then it becomes steeper and steeper. In the last part of the ascent the path from Rudno polje joins us from the right. Only a short climb by the torrent follows to reach the grassy plain Jezerce. Here the path turns left and after few steps it brings us into central area of Triglav national park. Next, we ascend by a well towards Studorski preval. A little higher we cross a torrent and the path turns a little to the right into grassy slopes surrounded by dwarf pines. The path then ascends diagonally to Studorski preval from which a nice view opens up to Bohinj side.
The path ahead at first descends a little and then crosses slopes of Veliki Draški vrh and Tosc with few gentle ascents and descends. Eventually, the path brings us to a grassy south slope of Tosc. Here the path on Tosc branches off to the right, and only few meters ahead, the path from Uskovnica joins from the left. We continue straight, and the path ahead continues crossing slopes of Tosc. The path then in a gentle descent crosses a shorter lane of thin forest and then it brings us on steep slopes. A little further ahead, the path on a carved wide ledge in a gentle descent crosses precipitous slopes of Tosc. Since the path is quite wide it doesn't cause problems (carefully because of falling stones, rockfall in the year 2008). The path then again slightly ascends and it brings us to a crossing, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Velo polje (sharply left Voje, straight Vodnikov dom).
The path ahead starts descending diagonally towards the right and it quickly brings us to an unmarked crossing. We continue on the right marked path (left hunting cottage), which soon flattens, and then it continues by crossing the slopes below the mountain hut Vodnikov dom. After few minutes, the path turns slightly to the left and starts descending towards Malo and Velo polje. After a short descent, we come on a smaller saddle between Malo polje on the left and Velo polje on the right. Here we continue left (right Velo polje) and we continue on a marked path, which quickly descends on the mountain pasture Malo polje. Next follows few minutes walk on the mentioned mountain pasture, and then the path turns slightly right and it brings us to the intermittent lake on the mountain pasture Planina pod Mišelj vrhom. Lake we bypass on the right side (slightly left Voje), and then in a gentle ascent, we ascend to decaying shepherd huts on the mountain pasture Planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
From the mountain pasture, we continue right in the direction of saddle Mišeljski preval and mountain pasture Planina v Lazu (straight saddle Jezerski preval) on the path which on the other side of the mountain pasture turns to the left. The path ahead starts moderately ascending over some smaller valleys, and then passes on slopes of Prevalski Stog, where it gradually starts ascending steeper. Here we notice more cairns, which mark beginning of unmarked footpath into a valley Mišeljska dolina, and we continue on a marked path, which turns a little more to the left. The increasingly panoramic path, from which beautiful views opening up on Škednjovec, Mišelj vrh, Vernar and Tosc, higher for a short time flattens and it brings us to a smaller sinkhole, which bypasses on the right side. Ahead we diagonally ascend over short grassy slope, and then we get to more rocky terrain, where over steep gravel terrain we ascend on a saddle Mišeljski preval.
From the saddle, from which a nice view opens up on Ogradi and Debeli vrh, we go left and we continue the ascent on a poorly visible and unmarked path which starts ascending steeper and steeper on the northwestern ridge of Prevalski Stog. Ridge on which we walk is becoming narrower, and the path increasingly steep, therefore on this part a great caution is needed, that we don't slip. After approximately 10 minutes of very steep ascent, the path flattens and to the top we have only 5 minutes of easy walking.
