Rudno polje - Mali Draški vrh (via Viševnik)

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:
At the end of the parking lot a macadam road by which there are signposts for Triglav branches off to the right. We go on this road which is slightly ascending and after ten minutes brings us to the ski slope.
On the other side of the ski slope, by the ski lift we will notice a marked footpath which from the road continues to the right. We go on the mentioned path, which in a moderate ascent through a lane of a forest brings us on a macadam road (to here possible also on the road), which we follow to the right, but only few steps. Just before the road crosses a ski track, marked footpath branches off to the left, which at first crosses a grazing fence, and then it is ascending by the edge of the ski track. On the top of the first ski lift marked path turns left and then starts ascending steeper by the edge of other steeper ski track. Second ski lift also soon ends, and we continue on a path, which passes into a smaller relatively steep valley. Towards the top of the mentioned valley path relatively steeply ascends, and then it suddenly flattens and past the abandoned hunting observatory brings us to a crossing.
We continue straight in the direction of Viševnik (right Lipanca and Viševnik over Kačji rob) on again more steep path, which after few minutes of additional walking brings us on a smaller saddle, from which a nice view opens up on mountains Spodnje Bohinjske gore. On the saddle, we continue right on a wide mountain path, which further ascends through a lane of dwarf pines. We soon leave dwarf pines and the path brings us on relatively steep grassy slopes, on which we then ascend on the ridge of Viševnik. Next follows a short crossing of rocky slope, and then we pass over below the peak of Viševnik. Here the path steeply ascends and after few additional strides, it brings us on a peak with a beautiful view.
From the top of Viševnik we continue on the ridge, that starts descending towards the west. The path at the beginning crosses very steep grassy slope, and then turns a little towards the right, where the steepness of slopes decreases. Next follows a diagonal descent, and then the path returns on the ridge and then continues on the right side of it. Next follows a little harder passage over rough slope, and then the path flattens and brings us on a saddle Srenjski preval. Here we continue by the ridge towards the north (left downwards unmarked path towards Jezerce, right Lipanca and Kačji rob) on the path which after a gentle ascent brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue straight (left Studorski preval) on unmarked and poorly visible path which starts ascending steeper and steeper on and by indistinct gully. The path in the lower part is ascending a little right from the gully, after that for a short time passes on its left (direction of ascent) side. Higher gully ascends even steeper, and the path starts vanishing. Further, we are ascending through the gully steeply upwards (carefully because of very crumbly terrain) and by "path" we will notice some very old and already entirely faded blazes. After a good 20 minutes of ascent we step on precipitous ridge, from which a nice view opens up through a valley Krma and peaks, which surround it.
From here we can ascend on the nearby eastern peak, to which we have few meters of easy climbing on exposed ridge, or on a little more distant, but few meters higher western peak. To get there at first we have to descend a little and then on quite exposed ridge in few 10 strides we ascend on a panoramic peak.
Rudno polje - Viševnik 2:00, Viševnik - Mali Draški vrh 45 minutes.
