Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and we follow the road in the direction of Bled, there in traffic lights crossroad signs for Pokljuka point us to the right. This road which in the lower part runs through few villages and later starts ascending steeper we follow to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located good 50 meters behid the crossroad, where left downwards road to Bohinj branches off). In the middle of the mentioned mountain pasture from the main road, the road which runs to Medvedova konta, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Zajavornik branches off to the right. Here we turn right and we follow the road to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Medvedova konta (straight mountain pasture Zajavornik). The road ahead after a short ascent descends and it brings us to the next crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Blejska koča. We follow this road to the parking lot in front of a gate, further driving is forbidden.
In the winter time, the road to described starting point usually isn't accessible.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on rough with the gate closed road which quickly changes into a cart track. To moderately steep cart track soon the path from the mountain pasture Zajavornik and monument Pri Rupah joins. We continue the ascent on very wide cart track which in a gentle ascent in few minutes brings us to grazing area of the mountain pasture Lipanca. Here the path turns right and in a moderate ascent leads by right lower edge of the mentioned mountain pasture. Next follows a crossing of a grassy slope and the path which again brings us into the forest makes at the memorial plaque NOB a sharp right turn, after which we come to shepherd and mountain hut on the mountain pasture Lipanca.
