Rudno polje - Viševnik

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:
At the end of the parking lot a macadam road by which there are signposts for Triglav branches off to the right. We go on this road which is slightly ascending and after ten minutes brings us to the ski slope.
On the other side of the ski slope, by the ski lift we will notice a marked footpath which from the road continues to the right. We go on the mentioned path, which in a moderate ascent through a lane of a forest brings us on a macadam road (to here possible also on the road), which we follow to the right, but only few steps. Just before the road crosses a ski track, marked footpath branches off to the left, which at first crosses a grazing fence, and then it is ascending by the edge of the ski track. On the top of the first ski lift marked path turns left and then starts ascending steeper by the edge of other steeper ski track. Second ski lift also soon ends, and we continue on a path, which passes into a smaller relatively steep valley. Towards the top of the mentioned valley path relatively steeply ascends, and then it suddenly flattens and past the abandoned hunting observatory brings us to a crossing.
We continue straight in the direction of Viševnik (right Lipanca and Viševnik over Kačji rob) on again more steep path, which after few minutes of additional walking brings us on a smaller saddle, from which a nice view opens up on mountains Spodnje Bohinjske gore. On the saddle, we continue right on a wide mountain path, which further ascends through a lane of dwarf pines. We soon leave dwarf pines and the path brings us on relatively steep grassy slopes, on which we then ascend on the ridge of Viševnik. Next follows a short crossing of rocky slope, and then we pass over below the peak of Viševnik. Here the path steeply ascends and after few additional strides, it brings us on a peak with a beautiful view.
In the winter time, the upper part of the path is exposed to avalanches, there's also a great risk of slipping.
