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).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the forest road (direction Triglav), on which in ten minutes of gentle ascent we come to a ski slope Viševnik. Here signs lead right (path on Triglav continues on the road) on a marked footpath which is further moderately ascending by the edge of the forest and by ski lift of the nearby ski slope. Higher, we again step on the road which we only cross, because signs for Viševnik point us through a grazing fence on easy to follow path which continues next to a ski lift. At the end of the ski lift path turns left into a lane of a forest and then joins the second, a little steeper ski lift. For some time we continue below the ski lift, and then the path passes on a ski track, on which we ascend to the upper part of the ski slope.
The path ahead passes into a smaller valley, through which by blooming flowers (applies to spring and summer months) we ascend to decaying hunting observatory.
Here or few 10 meters ahead (there are two turns) we continue right, on a poorly visible footpath, on which we continue the ascent. Higher, the footpath becomes more distinct and at first is turning a little towards the right, after that from a thin forest passes into a lane of dwarf pines and is gradually turning to the left. After a time we cross Kačji rob and the path brings us in high mountain terrain northeast from Viševnik. For a short time, we continue towards the west and a panoramic path quickly brings us in smaller grassy cirque, where it turns to the right. From the cirque path starts ascending steeper and in few minutes brings us to a marked crossing, where the path on a saddle Srenjski preval and Viševnik branches off to the left, and we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Blejska koča na Lipanci.
On marked path towards the mountain hut Blejska koča we walk only about 50 to 100 meters and then on the left side we notice a nice passage among dwarf pines (on the left we notice a smaller cairn). We continue the ascent on easier pathless terrain, and passages among dwarf pines we find with the help of smaller cairns, with the help of which we quickly get to the ridge between Mali Draški vrh on the left and Draški rob on the right. When we step on the ridge, we continue right and by it we ascend to the steep upper slope of Draški rob. Here we at first ascend over short rocky section, and then we ascend over dwarf pine on the ridge of Draški rob. Here we continue left and by dwarf pines we ascend on 1979 meters high peak, from which a nice view opens up into a valley Krma.
