Rudno polje - Rjavina

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 a large parking lot opposite the barracks on Rudno polje at first we cross the road, and then we look for the beginning of the forest road (by the beginning of the forest road are also signs for Triglav), which leads towards the ski slope Viševnik. After approximately 10 minutes of walking on the mentioned road we get to the foot ski slope, where the marked path splits into two parts. The right path leads towards Viševnik and mountain hut Blejska koča na Lipanci, and for a short time, we still continue on the road in the direction of Triglav, mountain hut Vodnikov dom na Velem polju and Studorski preval. When the road returns into the forest, we will on the left notice a marked footpath which starts gently and higher moderately ascending through the forest. After few minutes, we step back on the road which we reach on medium-sized parking lot, where there is enough space for about 20 cars (to here it is possible also with a car, this shortens the path for approximately 20 minutes).
When we reach the parking lot, few 10 meters we walk on the road, and then signs lead slightly right on a marked and well-beaten path which starts ascending through the forest. After few minutes, the path flattens and gradually passes on a relatively steep southern slopes of Plesišče (1790 meters). Next follows few minutes of crossing, and then we step on some kind of broad ridge of the before mentioned summit. Here the marked path turns right (straight downwards leads unmarked, but well-beaten path towards Planina Konjščica) and descends a little. A little further, we will notice left below us the mountain pasture Konjščica. Our path then stops descending and passes out of the forest into dwarf pines. The path which is again ascending then runs below the steep rocky cliffs and soon after that, it brings us to a crossing, where we join the path from the mountain pasture Planina Konjščica.. Next follows a shorter ascent and the path brings us into a nice small valley named Jezerce, where the path flattens.
At the beginning of Jezerce, where there is also a marked crossing we continue left (right saddle Srenjski preval and Viševnik) in the direction of saddle Studorski preval, Vodnikov dom and Triglav.
Next follows easy walk to the signpost, which marks the main area of TNP, and then the path starts moderately ascending by the torrent (at first a well). The path higher passes on the right side of the torrent (looking from the direction of ascent) and then it ascends diagonally to a saddle 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 right in the direction of Vodnikov dom. Next follows approximately ten minutes of walking without large ascents or descents to Vodnikov dom.
From the hut, we continue straight in the direction of Triglav (right upward Bohinjska vratca). The path ahead is moderately ascending and crosses slopes below Vernar. Soon we run into the first steel cable, which helps us pass the short ledge. The path ahead is ascending on the scree and then brings us to a steep rocky jump. A well-secured path on steep stairs brings us to the top of that jump. Next follows few meters of crossing on a steep slope, and then the path brings us on ample slopes near the saddle Konjski preval. We reach it after a short descent.
From the saddle Konjski preval we continue in the direction of Kredarica and Staničev dom (left Planika, right Krma), and follow a wide path towards Kredarica only few steps, after that a sign on rock Staničev dom points us slightly right on easy to follow, but poorly beaten footpath. The path ahead with some shorter ascents and descents crosses the slopes towards the right, and crosses some gullies, which in the early summer can still be under the snow. The path ahead crosses a lane of dwarf pines, and then it passes on a grassy slope over which it ascends diagonally. The path after that flattens and only a little further crosses a path which leads from Krma through Kalvarija on Kredarica.
We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Staničev dom (sign on rock) and we continue the ascent on a moderately steep path, which is getting closer to scree below Rž. On a pleasant path over Ržki podi, we get to on the already mentioned scree, through which we start ascending diagonally. When we get on the other side of the scree, the path turns slightly left and starts ascending steeply on a rugged rocks. The steepness quickly decreases and after few minutes of additional walking joins the path which leads from Krma.
We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Staničev dom and in few minutes of a moderate ascent we get on an indistinct ridge, where the marked path on Rjavina branches off to the right.
We continue in the direction of Rjavina on the path which then slightly descends and brings us on a small indistinct saddle Dovška vratca. From here ahead path starts to ascend steeply on the western slopes of Rjavina. With the help of some fixed safety gear path brings us on the ridge of Rjavine. Next follows a panoramic walk on a ridge to the western secondary peak, and then the path slightly descends and from the left climbing path from the valley Kot joins. We continue straight and more and more scenic path brings us to a vertical chimney, on which we descend a little less than 30 meters (secured only with iron spikes and stemples). The path which becomes easier then past two natural windows in few minutes brings us on a peak with a beautiful view.
