Uskovnica (Razpotje) - Vernar

Access to starting point:
A) We leave Gorenjska highway at exit for Lesce, and then we follow the signs for Bled and Pokljuka. Further, we drive through Gorje and past the ski slope Zatrnik to Rudno polje on Pokljuka, where there is a large payable parking lot, and nearby there are also 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 good 500 meters to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Now on the mentioned parking lot it is prohibited to park, so we have to park already on Rudno polje, which extends the path for approximately 35 minutes, or we choose starting point Uskovnica (Lom).
B) From Železniki or Podbrdo we drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Bled. Soon after Petrol gas station, which is located only a little after Bohinjska Bistrica, we continue driving left in the direction of Pokljuka and Jereka. Further, the road at first steeply ascends, and after Korita gradually flattens and it brings us to a crossroad by bus stop, where we continue right in the direction of Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka (straight Srednja vas). Immediately after the crossroad, we get to Jereka, and from the crossroad in front of the church we continue straight towards Pokljuka (left Podjelje). After Jereka the road again starts ascending steeper, and higher flattens and continues by stream Mrzli potok. When we join the road from Bled we go left and we drive to Rudno polje, where there is a large payable parking lot, and nearby there are also 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 good 500 meters to the former parking lot above Uskovnica. This area is called Razpotje.
Now on the mentioned parking lot it is prohibited to park, so we have to park already on Rudno polje, which extends the path for approximately 35 minutes, or we choose starting point Uskovnica (Lom).

Path description:
From closure of the road, we descend about 15 minutes to the mountain pasture Uskovnica. Here stands a chapel and next to it drinking water on Uskovnica. We look for the path which goes towards Vodnikov dom (first, which goes right from the chapel, a wide cart track). The path is otherwise marked and in spite of all because of large number of paths on Uskovnica it is hard to find the beginning of the right path. If we aren't sure it is better to ask someone, if we only have an option. The path slowly leaves the mountain pasture and hides in the forest, where we run into a well. Then we walk on the western slopes of Ablanca, which are in parts pretty steep. We soon come out of the forest, where we cross substantial number of gullies. One is very clumsy passable. Carefully! Immediately after this gully we cross a torrent through which runs water, which in dry periods dries up. The path then becomes easier. Now we already walk below the slopes of Tosc. The path becomes a little steeper and splits into two parts. We go on the right path (left is abandoned). Both paths join after one hour ascent on the path Pokljuka - Triglav, where we turn left. The path ahead crosses the southern slopes of Tosc. The path then in a gentle descent crosses a shorter lane of thin forest and then it brings us on steep slopes. A little further ahead, the path on a carved wide ledge in a gentle descent crosses precipitous slopes of Tosc. Since the path is quite wide it doesn't cause problems (carefully because of falling stones, rockfall in the year 2008). The path then again slightly ascends and it brings us to a crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Vodnikov dom. Next follows approximately ten minutes of walking without large ascents or descents to Vodnikov dom.
At the mountain hut, we continue right in the direction of Krma (straight Triglav) on a steep path, which at first ascends by botanical garden, and then it is ascending over relatively steep, mostly grassy slopes. Higher, the path passes into a smaller indistinct valley, through which we in few minutes of a steep ascent ascend on a saddle Bohinjska vratca.
From the saddle Bohinjska vratca we continue left on an unmarked footpath which leads on a grassy slope upwards. Grassy slope is becoming increasingly steep and especially in wet it is very dangerous for slipping. Steep footpath which runs slightly left from the ridge we then follow all the way to grassy secondary peak at an altitude 2183 meters.
From the secondary peak, we continue on the ridge and at first, we few meters steeply descend on a rocky slope. We continue on the ridge, which becomes quite narrow and exposed. We walk mostly by the left side of the ridge and also few cairns show the direction. Next follows few more very short climbing spots (I-II grade) and we are already on the summit of Vernar.
