Planina Blato - Kanjavec (via Dolina za Mišelj vrhom)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and then towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue driving towards Lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we come to a crossroads, where we continue right in the direction of Stara Fužina. In Stara Fužina, at the crossroads by the chapel, we turn sharply left onto the ascending road in the direction of mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and valley Voje. The road then brings us to the spot where road toll and parking fees are collected; we follow it to the next crossroads, where we continue left (right Voje). We then follow the road to the next crossroads (we drive for quite some time), where we turn sharply right in the direction of mountain pasture Blato (straight mountain pasture Vogar). We follow this road to the parking lot above mountain pasture Blato.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road ahead, which takes us past the road barrier to the right-hand bend. Here the road starts to descend and after two minutes of descent brings us to a junction, where we turn right onto the cart track. We follow the moderately ascending cart track for about 15 minutes to the poorly visible start of the hunting path towards mountain pasture Krstenica (we notice the start of the path on the left side). Like most hunting paths, this one also has an erased start, so we might have some trouble finding the beginning (if we cannot find this path, we can continue on the cart track, keeping to the left directions). The hunting path continues through the forest with some shorter steep ascents and after a good hour of walking brings us to a small hunting hut on the left side of the path. Here, a one-minute path branches off to the left to a viewpoint, where we can see mountain pasture Blato below us. From the hunting hut onwards, the path soon takes us out of the forest, where we rejoin the cart track. Only about five minutes of walking remain to mountain pasture Krstenica, where a beautiful view opens up on Ograde, Krn and Spodnje Bohinjske gore.
From the mountain pasture, we continue on the path, which is initially somewhat poorly visible on the western (left) side of the mountain pasture. After just a few dozen meters, several smaller paths merge into one well-visible path. The path ahead, with some shorter ascents and descents, crosses the slopes of Malega and Jezerskega Stoga. After about half an hour of walking from Krstenica, the path brings us into the grassy area of the abandoned mountain pasture Jezerce. Here our path turns right into the grassy slopes. The path, which ascends below the slopes of Adam and Eve, becomes increasingly steep and after 45 minutes brings us to Jezerski preval, where a view of Triglav opens up.
From the saddle, we then descend to the northern side. At the start, the path veers slightly right, and after a few minutes left into a sparse larch forest. The path continues descending and brings us to a junction, where a marked path branches off to the left towards Mišeljski preval. We continue on the right path, which we leave a little before Planina pod Mišelj vrhom and turn left onto an unmarked path towards the valley below Mišelj vrh (towards the west). The path begins to ascend and is well trodden; it runs below the southern slopes of Mišelj vrh. When we reach the northern side of Škednjovec (2309 m), the path becomes somewhat poorly visible and runs across flat terrain strewn with rocks and boulders. We begin ascending again, and as we approach Mišeljski konec (2464 m), the valley turns left. Here we walk along the left side of the valley, which becomes quite steep in the upper part and brings us to the saddle between Vrh Hribaric (2388 m) and Mišeljski konec. From the saddle, we descend a few meters and join an unmarked path that runs through the valley behind Debelem vrhom. After a few minutes of walking, we reach a junction at Hribarice, where we are again on a marked path. We go straight towards Kanjavec. The path ascends quite steeply through an indistinct little valley between the eastern and western summits of Kanjavec. At the saddle between the two summits, we turn right and reach the summit in a few minutes.
