Planina Blato - Planina Ovčarija (via planina Viševnik)

Access to starting point:
From Gorenjska highway (exit Lesce), Železniki or Soriška planina, we drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Lake Bohinj. In Ribčev Laz, just before the lake we turn right towards Stara Fužina, where we at first drive over a bridge with a nice view towards Lake Bohinj and past the church of St. John the Baptist. When we get to Stara Fužina at the crossroad at the chapel, we turn sharply left on an ascending road in the direction of the mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and valley Voje. The road ahead brings us to the spot, where the road toll or parking fee has to be paid, we follow it forward to the next crossroad, where we continue left (right Voje). Then we follow the road to the next crossroad (we drive for quite some time), where we turn sharply right in the direction of the mountain pasture Blato (straight mountain pasture Vogar). We follow this road to a marked parking lot above the mountain pasture Blato.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot on the road we return a little back, and then we go on an ascending cart track in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina pri Jezeru, mountain pasture Planina v Lazu and mountain pasture Dedno polje. The path on a cart track at first quite steeply ascends and after approximately 10 minutes brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue on the left upper cart track (straight mountain pasture Planina v Lazu and steep path to the mountain pasture Planina pri Jezeru).
After less than 5 minutes of additional ascent, at the right turn from the left joins the path from the mountain pasture Vogar, and we continue right in the direction of Planina pri Jezeru. Further, we are ascending on a little less steep cart track which for a short time entirely flattens, and then it ascends steeper and leads us through a narrow carved passage. After the passage, the cart track again flattens, and behind two benches, from the right joins already mentioned steep path. After the crossing, the path turns left and it brings us to a grazing fence, behind which we step into a smaller valley, where a cold air is usually retained. The path ahead gradually becomes steeper again, and after it flattens it turns right. A little further from the left joins the path which leads past the mountain pasture Vodični vrh.
From the mentioned crossing ahead, forest starts to get thinner, when we finally step out of the forest, we are already on the mountain pasture Planina pri Jezeru, where to the nearby mountain hut separates us only few 10 strides of easy walking.
From the mountain hut, we continue left downwards (slightly right mountain pasture Planina v Lazu and mountain hut Vodnikov dom na Velem polju) and we descend to shepherd huts, where there is the next marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue left upwards on less distinct footpath in the direction of the mountain pasture Viševnik (straight on a cart track mountain pasture Dedno polje and mountain pasture Viševnik past Krištofojca), which ascends above the mountain pasture and then passes into the forest. Through the forest, we are for some time still steeply ascending, and then the path gradually flattens. Further there are taking turns ascents and gentle parts, and when we step out of the forest, from the right joins also the path past Krištofojca. From the mentioned crossing a short ascent follows on a saddle, and cottage Bregarjevo zavetišče on the mountain pasture Viševnik is situated only few steps ahead.
From the mountain pasture Viševnik we continue slightly right (left - Vogar, slightly left - Pršivec, straight downwards - Črno jezero) on the path in the direction of the mountain pasture Ovčarija and lakes Triglavska jezera. The path ahead at first ascends diagonally towards the left on a steeper slope, and then it gradually flattens and brings us on more plateau terrain. We continue southwest from Griva (1758 meters) for some time without large changes in altitude. A little further, more precisely at signposts in the direction of straight continues unmarked footpath which continues towards the mountain pasture Dedno polje, and we continue sharply left in the direction of the mountain pasture Ovčarija. From the signposts path descends a little and then turns right and for some time continues on some sort of sinkhole. On the other side of the sinkhole, the path again starts moderately ascending, and then it flattens and it brings us to shepherd huts on the mountain pasture Ovčarija.
