Stara Fužina - Koča na Planini pri Jezeru

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. We continue driving towards the Lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we come to the crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Stara Fužina. In 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. We follow this road to a parking lot, where a road toll or a parking fee has to be paid. Parking fee is 1 €/h.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which continues towards the mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and valley Voje. At first relatively steep road quickly flattens, and then it brings us to religious symbol, by which there is marked crossing.
At the religious symbol, we leave the asphalt road and we continue left in the direction of Vogar and Pršivec. Further, we at first diagonally ascend over panoramic pasture, and then the path passes into the forest, through which it is ascending on a rocky cart track. In some long zig-zags we ascend a level higher, where the path flattens a little. Only a little further, we notice signs for NOB monument, which is situated by nice viewpoint and paragliding airfield, from which a nice view opens up on Lake Bohinj, Rudnica and mountain chain Spodnje Bohinjske gore.
From the viewpoint, we return on a marked path, and it quickly brings us on the eastern edge of the mountain pasture Spodnji Vogar. The path ahead is mostly ascending gently through meadows, and we notice by the path larger number of former shepherd huts, which are today mostly converted into a holiday cottages. This path which continues to ascend gently, we follow to the mountain hut Kosijev dom na Vogarju, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
From the hut, we continue right in the direction of Pršivec and Planina pri Jezeru, and the path leads on a wide cart track which past a smaller cross brings us to a marked crossing.
At the crossing, we continue right (left Pršivec, mountain pasture Viševnik and mountain pasture Vodični vrh) and we continue on a worse macadam road which leads us over upper part of the mountain pasture Vogar. The path ahead leads us past the homestead Dolenc, and only a little ahead we get to a smaller crossroad, where we continue straight. From the crossroad, we walk on the road few meters and then we continue slightly right on a footpath which at first gently ascends through a meadow, and then passes into the forest, where for a short time steeply ascends. We soon return on the road which we follow to the right. After a shorter gentle ascent the road starts descending, and we follow it to the nearby marked crossing, where we leave it and we continue slightly left on parallel mountain path. For some time we are gently ascending or we cross the slopes towards the right, and then we join the cart track. About 3 minutes we are ascending on the mentioned cart track, and then blazes point us on a footpath which starts ascending steeper. Higher, the path joins better beaten cart track from the mountain pasture Blato, which we follow to the left.
Further, we are for some time ascending through the forest and then the path turns to the left, where passes into a small valley. In small valley forest gradually starts to get thinner, and the path higher turns a little to the right and it brings us to a marked crossing, where from the left joins the path from the mountain pasture Vodični vrh. Here we continue straight and after 5 minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Koča na Planini pri Jezeru.
