Stara Fužina - Ogradi

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.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue right in the direction of Mostnica Gorge and we at first walk on the wide path, on which in few minutes we get to the bridge Hudičev most, from which we can already see a first view in gorge. At the bridge, we step on a rough road which we follow to the left, and there we walk only for a short time because then signs for gorge point us to the right on a well-settled tourist path. The path ahead soon brings us to the main part of gorge, by which we are then gently ascending. During the ascent by the gorge, we run into signs "Slonček" (a rock, which is carved by water in the shape of an elephant - worth seeing). The path ahead is for some time ascending by Mostnica, and then turns a little towards the left, where after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a forest road which leads towards the gable of the valley Voje. We follow the road to the right, and it quickly brings us to NOB monument (to here also possible with a car, this shortens the path for approximately 45 minutes).
At the monument, we leave the road and we continue left, on a gentle cart track, and it quickly brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue on the left marked path. We continue the ascent on a moderately steep mountain path, which after a short ascent brings us on a ridge covered with a forest. Here the path turns to the right and for some time flattens. A little further, we will by the path notice a smaller cross, and from here on the path is becoming steeper and steeper.
Further for quite some time, we are steeply ascending through a dense forest. At the altitude of approximately 1300 meters, the path flattens and some altitude meters higher brings us to the spot, where we cross unmarked path mountain pasture Blato - mountain pasture Zgornja Grintovica. Crossing of the mentioned path is almost unnoticeable, because right on this part there's many fallen trees, which cover both paths.
Here we continue in the same direction and soon we again step on an easy to follow, but poorly marked path. The path ahead is for some time ascending through a dense forest and then it is slowly getting closer to the nearby mountain pasture. Higher the forest is becoming thinner, and the path less and less steep. Even a little further, we finally step out of the forest, where in front of us an unvegetated terrain of the mountain pasture Krstenica opens up. Again poorly visible footpath here turns slightly towards the left and at first in a moderate ascent, and then in a gentle descent brings us to shepherd huts on the mountain pasture Krstenica.
From the mountain pasture, we walk on the western edge of the mountain pasture, where we notice signs for mountain pasture Planina v Lazu. We continue in the direction of the mentioned mountain pasture and at first, we start descending towards the valley, which separates Ogradi from the ridge of Stogi. When the descent ends the path leads us through occasionally more dense forest, and in doing so at first crosses a valley, and then also slopes by the foot of Ogradi towards the east. A little further, the path starts considerably ascending and turns right. Ascent doesn't last long, because the path quickly flattens. Next follows few minutes walk with gentle ascents and descents, and then we get to a crossing, by which usually a cairn is situated.
We continue here sharply right (straight mountain pasture Planina v Lazu) on an unmarked path which leads towards the summit of Ogradi.
Clearly visible, but unmarked path ahead steeply ascends and in few minutes brings us to the ruins of abandoned mountain pasture on the southern slopes of Ogradi. Here the path turns left, and the steepness gradually decreases. Ahead we are ascending on occasionally little poorly visible footpath which is ascending on a grassy slope of the mountain. The increasingly panoramic path, from which beautiful views opening up on mountains, which surround Bohinj, then again a little steeper ascends and in few additional minutes of walking, it brings us to the summit.
Stara Fužina - Planina Krstenica 3:15, Planina Krstenica - Ogradi 1:45.
