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, Pri Rupah and mountain pasture Javornik 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 (Za)Javornik. The road then runs past the mentioned mountain pasture and a good kilometer ahead brings us to a parking lot at the monument to fallen NOB soldiers.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Blejska koča on Lipanca, which past the monument NOB quickly leads in the forest. The path which is at first ascending gently after good 10 minutes a little steeper ascends and it brings us to a forest road which we only cross. We continue on a cart track in the direction of Lipanca, which higher brings us to the spot, where we join the path from the mountain pasture Javornik. Considerably wide path, which all the time runs in the arms of spruce forests, higher brings us to the next crossing, where we again continue in the direction of Lipanca (left). 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 monument NOB sharp right turn, after which we come to shepherd and mountain hut on the mountain pasture Lipanca.
