Pri Rupah - Viševnik

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.
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 short ascent, it 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.
We continue left (right Mrežce 15 minutes) on the path which crosses the southern slopes of less known peak (Vrh Razora), after which we come to the next crossing.
Here the path on Debeli vrh branches off to the right, and we continue slightly left on the path which on the left side bypasses already mentioned peak. With a view on a plateau Pokljuka and Spodnje Bohinjske gore, we for some time cross occasionally also little steeper slopes, after that, when also second turn-off of the path on Debeli vrh branches off to the right, we get to Solnice (at Solnice is the lowest point of the ridge between Tosc and Debela peč).
From Solnice a nice view opens up in Krma and mountains, which steeply rising above it. The path ahead passes into Blejska konta (small valley between Veliki Selišnik and Draški rob), where it is at first gently, and then steeper and steeper ascending. After a shorter steep ascent the path quickly flattens and brings us on a plateau terrain south from Draški rob. Next follows few minutes of a light ascent, and then we few 10 strides descend to the next crossing, where we continue right (straight downwards Rudno polje) in the direction of saddle Srenjski preval and Viševnik, and we reach it after few minutes of additional walking.
From Srenjski preval we continue left (straight downwards Jezerce, right Studorski preval and Mali Draški vrh) on a 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 also shorter exposed traverse, after that without any bigger problems we step to the summit of Viševnik.
