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 some villages and later starts ascending steeper we follow to Mrzli Studenec (mountain pasture, which is located a good 50 meters behind 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, monument Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik branches off to the right. Here we turn right and in the next crossroads, we follow the road in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik. The road then brings us to the parking lot near the mountain pasture Planina Zajavornik.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Blejska koča. The path which is at first ascending gently through the spruce forest, little higher crosses a forest road, behind which from the left side soon joins the path from NOB monument (Pri Rupah). Considerably wide path, which all the time runs in the arms of spruce forests, higher brings us to the next crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Lipanca (right Medvedova konta). 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 at the memorial plaque NOB makes a sharp right turn, after which we come to shepherd cottage and mountain hut on the mountain pasture Lipanca.
From the mountain hut, we continue left in the direction of Viševnik and Mrežce on the path, from which soon left downwards path towards Rudno polje branches off. We continue straight and a moderately steep path after a shorter ascent brings us to the next crossing, where we continue in the direction of Viševnik (right Mrežce steep path). The path then in a gentle descent crosses in unfavorable conditions avalanche area and on the other side starts slightly ascending. The path is ascending through a thinner forest and soon brings us to a crossing below Mrežce.
Here we continue right (left downwards Viševnik and Debeli vrh) on a moderately steep path, on which in 2 minutes of additional walking, we get to the top of Mrežce.
