Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Ablanca (via Jezerca and Studorski preval)

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). From here we continue straight on a macadam road which a little further brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Uskovnica (right mountain pasture Konjščica). From here we drive a good 500 meters to a parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.

Path description:
From the parking lot by the crossroad, we continue on for public traffic closed macadam road in the direction of Uskovnica. The road immediately starts quite steep descending and it quickly brings us to a bridge over Ribnica (Ribnica is a stream, which separates Uskovnica from Pokljuka). Behind the bridge road turns sharply left and then in a gentle descent crosses the slopes above the right bank of Ribnica. Some 10 meters further we get to a smaller crossroad, where we continue sharply right in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Konjščica. (straight Uskovnica). The path ahead at first moderately ascends by the pasture, after that for few minutes it entirely flattens. When the worse road again starts ascending, from the left joins the path from the chapel on Uskovnica (crossing isn't specifically marked), and we continue right.
A little further a nice view opens up towards Viševnik, and the cart track is then for some time ascending diagonally, mostly through the forest. Higher, we cross a grazing fence and the path brings us on the southwest edge of the mountain pasture Planina Konjščica.. Here the path which was occasionally again a little steeper entirely flattens and leads us diagonally through mountain pasture. During the crossing we stride across some smaller streams, after that behind a smaller cross we also cross a little bigger stream and behind it in few steps we reach cheese cottage on the mountain pasture Konjščica, where in grazing season it is possible to buy some milk products.
In front of cheese cottage we continue slightly left in the direction of Triglav and Vodnikov dom na Velem polju, on the path, that is gently ascending towards the northern part of the mountain pasture. When mountain pasture ends path passes among dwarf pines surrounded by individual trees and starts moderately ascending. With a view on surrounding mountains we quickly get to a marked crossing, where from the right joins also the marked path from Rudno polje.
We continue slightly left in the direction of saddle Studorski preval and for few minutes we are ascending a little steeper. Higher valley through which we walk narrows, after that by a torrent we reach the grassy plain Na Jezercih, where there is the next marked crossing.
Here we go left (right Mali Draški vrh, Srenjski preval and Viševnik) and after few steps, we get into central area of Triglav national park. Next, we ascend by a well towards Studorski preval. A little higher we cross a torrent, and the path turns a little to the right on grassy and with dwarf pines surrounded slopes. The path then ascends diagonally to Studorski preval from which a nice view opens up to Bohinj side.
On the saddle, where we leave the marked path, we go left on a small footpath upwards. The path quickly brings us on a crumbly terrain, where we can quite quickly trigger stones, therefore be careful. Next follows a steeper path, which brings us on the ridge. We follow this path which is quite dangerous for slipping (because of the slippery sand on the path) to the top of the mountain Ablanca.
