Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Ablanca (via planina Spodnji Tosc)

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). From here we continue straight on a macadam road which a little further brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Uskovnica (right mountain pasture Konjščica). From here we drive a good 500 meters to a crossroad above Uskovnica, where we park right next to it.

Path description:
The described path because of the damaged path on section Uskovnica - Planina Spodnji Tosc is currently CLOSED (data from 31/7/2020).
From the crossroad by which we parked at, we continue on for public traffic closed forest road which starts steeply descending towards the gorge of the stream Ribnici. After a short descent, we come to the mentioned gorge, over which leads a wide car bridge. After the bridge, the road flattens and after few minutes of additional walking brings us out of the forest on ample meadows of Uskovnica.
Here we walk to the near chapel, and then we continue slightly right on the road which runs just by the mentioned chapel (left mountain hut Koča na Uskovnici, right mountain pasture Konjščica). A quite gentle road then leads us through large meadows of Uskovnica, and then it brings us to the edge of the forest where it starts changing to at first a wide cart track. Cart track, which further starts moderately ascending has some crossings, we follow it in the direction of Vodnikov dom and Triglav. Higher, the cart track which mostly runs through the forest turns into a footpath which quickly brings us to a pleasant well. At the well we continue straight (right hunting cottage) and we continue the ascent on a gently sloping path, that a little further brings us on steep slopes. Soon after we got to the steep slopes at the crossing through a steep gully we have fixed safety gear for help. The path ahead continues on a relatively steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slopes. During the crossing of the steep slopes, the path several times for a short time steeply ascends and then descends again. In the last part of the crossing we stride across some very steep gullies, through which leads in parts entirely wrecked path (great risk of slipping). Crossing ends at bigger torrent (usually a well) after which we step on a softer grassy terrain.
Few minutes of easy walking follows and the path brings us to an abandoned mountain pasture Spodnji Tosc. The path ahead starts moderately ascending and it soon brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue sharply right (straight old, partly abandoned path) on easy to follow path. The path ahead starts ascending steeper and steeper and it quickly brings us from a lane of thin forest into dwarf pines, where it starts turning more and more to the left. The path soon flattens and from dwarf pines brings us on grassy slopes, through which in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the path Pokljuka - Triglav.
We follow the mentioned path to the right and only after few steps it brings us to the spot where the path on Tosc branches off to the left. We continue straight on a pleasant passing path, which from the slopes of Tosc gradually passes on slopes of Veliki Draški vrh. Panoramic path after a time brings us by the foot of saddle Studorski preval, where it ascends steeper for a short time. After 5 minutes of ascent we step on Studorski preval, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue right (left Veliki Draški vrh, slightly left Srenjski preval and straight Pokljuka) on an unmarked path, which ascends steeply by the edge of the ridge. After few minutes of walking from the saddle we pass over on even steeper and very crumbly slopes of Ablanca. Very steep and for slipping dangerous path, after few minutes of ascent on the crumbly slope it slightly flattens and then it brings us on a very panoramic ridge, on which in few minutes we ascend to the summit.
