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. Here are also signposts, which point us to the right following the signs »Viševnik«.
At first, we walk on a gentle footpath in the direction towards Mali Draški vrh. After that, the path turns a little to the right and starts ascending through the valley between Mali Draški vrh and Viševnik. At first, we are ascending on the left side of the valley, and in the upper part path turns slightly to the right and follows an ascent by a crumbly slope to Srenjski preval.
From Srenjski preval we continue right (straight downwards Rudno polje and Lipanca, left Studorski preval and Mali Draški vrh) on the path which ascends diagonally over a relatively crumbly slope (dangerous for slipping). Higher, the path passes on a west side of the ridge and flattens a little. Next follows a diagonal ascent on the path which runs by the main ridge of Viševnik. Only few meters below the summit, the path crosses a shorter exposed ledge, after that without any bigger problems we step to the summit of Viševnik.
