Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and we follow the road in the direction of Bled, there in traffic lights crossroad signs for Pokljuka point us to the right. This road which in the lower part runs through some villages and later starts ascending steeper we follow to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 meters behind the crossroad, where left downwards road to Bohinj branches off). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture from the main road the road which runs to Medvedova konta, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Javornik branches off to the right. Here we turn right and follow the road to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Medvedova konta (straight mountain pasture Javornik). The road ahead after a short ascent descends and it brings us to the next crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Blejska koča. We follow this road to a parking lot in front of a gate.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on rough with the gate closed road which quickly changes into a cart track. A moderately steep cart track soon joins the path from the mountain pasture Javornik. We continue the ascent on very wide cart track which in a gentle ascent in few minutes brings us to grazing area of the mountain pasture Lipanca. Here the path turns right and in a moderate ascent leads by right lower edge of the mentioned mountain pasture. Next follows a crossing of a grassy slope and the path which again brings us into the forest makes at the monument NOB sharp right turn, after which we come to shepherd and mountain hut on the mountain pasture Lipanca.
From the mountain hut, we continue left in the direction of Viševnik and Mrežce on the path, from which soon left downwards path towards Rudno polje branches off. We continue straight and a moderately steep path after a shorter ascent brings us to the next crossing, where we continue in the direction of Viševnik (right Mrežce steep path). The path then in a gentle descent crosses in unfavorable conditions avalanche area and on the other side starts slightly ascending. The path is ascending through a thinner forest and soon brings us to the next crossing.
We continue left (right Mrežce gentle path) on the path which crosses the southern slopes of less known peak (Vrh Razora), after which we come on next a little less noticeable crossing.
We continue slightly right in the direction of Debeli vrh (slightly left Viševnik) on in parts a little hard to follow, but marked path. After a short ascent on a grassy slope surrounded by dwarf pines we come to the peak, where a beautiful view opens up.
