Rudno polje - Koča na Uskovnici

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).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road (in the winter time cross country ski trail) in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Uskovnici. The road at first leads past a shooting range, and then passes into spruce forest, through which it continues to a smaller but marked crossroad. From the crossroad, we continue on the left bottom road (slightly right road which leads towards the starting point for mountain pasture Konjščica and Uskovnica access with a car), which is with a traffic sign closed for public traffic. On the road in few minutes we descend in a grassy valley Španove jame, and where after few minutes road splits into two parts.
We continue straight (left upper part of the mountain pasture Praprotnica and footpath towards the mountain pasture Zajamniki) and we continue on the road which with nice views on the mountain range Spodnje Bohinjske gore is barely noticeably descending. A little lower we get to area named Razpotje, where there are several successive crossroads. Here we carefully follow the signs and stick on direction for Uskovnica or mountain hut Koča na Uskovnici. Behind the last crossroad we start steeply descending on the road, on which we quickly get to a bridge over the stream Ribnica (Ribnica is a stream, which separates Uskovnica from Pokljuka). On the other side of the bridge road turns sharply to the left and flattens, or for some time even slightly ascends. The road then quickly brings us out of the forest, where we get to a marked crossroad.
We continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Uskovnici (right road which leads towards the mountain pasture Konjščica, straight Vodnikov dom and Triglav), on the road which on the left side bypasses the nearby chapel. After a short descent, we leave the road and go slightly left on a path which continues between some shepherd huts or holiday cottages, after that on a marked path which leads us through mogul meadows in few minutes we walk to the mountain hut Koča na Uskovnici.
