If the locals are smart, they'll read this for sure if they want to improve the visits. But first their mentality needs to change, not that a (typical) Bohinj guy tells you, quoting p.10 Don't cry to me for 10 €. Go on foot! No one will stop you. Such swindling thinking won't improve their situation.

Yeah, sure it's right to pay something, but for 10 EUR you should get a reserved asphalted parking lot in front of Planina Blato, since up there with big crowds there can be congestion.

I agree with that very much. And ultimately I also find the parking fee in Vrata controversial. Sure it's right to charge for such a popular path to the starting point, but - come on - for that money they could really get it into at least decent condition!

1m2 of asphalt is around 15 €. Calculate how much roads and parking lots they could fix if you
recall the sea of metal that
basks day after day. They are laughing their asses off!
For that money parking lots should even be heated, with coffee and friendly smile not
some shabby warden who sees nothing but hands
giving him cash. In Logarska at the beginning
of collecting (fleecing) I asked the young guy if they are locals. On affirmative answer I asked them to tell me the names of the hills around. Since they didn't know I drove away. I didn't pay. Next time there was
a panoramic board.
Every municipality is a small state that manages its
affairs (fleeces citizens). That's why there are so many municipalities, because there are many roosters crowing on their own dung heap.
Go on foot someone would say, probably a local!? Doesn't it concern one of the basic rights; freedom of movement! We pay road fund!! Let municipalities agree with
the state (that's already too much) and then the old song; no money. We've spent it all. Whatever
give it to them. The only solution is BOYCOTT such
places and let them then go up on foot!

Such prices are set and that's how it is and will be, even in the store an item costs so much and so much, buy or leave or go elsewhere. In front of the lake in Bohinj there is free parking and set off on foot or much earlier. I myself was in Bavšica already around 3 am and nowhere would I pay parking/road toll for such an early start of hiking. AND then I did exactly right, because then in the afternoon a storm raged. But I don't know what you see so much up there, there are huts, beautiful pastures, and quite a few peaks too, just there are plenty of other starting points where they collect nothing, but if you barge right into the wasp nest then pay for road use. Late in autumn those ends are 1A and then it's 10x more worthwhile to visit them than now.

Well you don't think the board was there next time because of you? Anyway you said the solution yourself, or you go up on foot. And who forces you to go to Blato? Same with parking in Vrata and other similar locations. If it's such a nuisance to give those few euros then don't go there, right? In any case the parking lots will still be full, no matter how much you complain. Period

Jus = right? It's not about what someone thinks
but what someone writes! It's about the essence! The essence
of everything is fleecing! It's not about the superfluous, but who
does what and in what way!? Freedom of movement?
Everywhere some bums stand who
hold out their hand. Is the car a civilizational achievement that enables us to move - pay
and you'll be free? With such thinking you
support them; maybe participate???

If you read the posts from previous pages (p.10) you'll get many answers and arguments why we grumble about collecting the contribution for road maintenance and parking at Blato.
And to repeat myself for the fifth time, for those who don't want to understand, the problem is not the contribution (although those 10 euros are really usurious, given that the road is quite bad and that at Blato sometimes you can't even turn let alone park), the problem is in this Bohinj mentality. I'm increasingly getting the feeling and believe me more and more of us are like that, that it's not about guest satisfaction, the tourist but turning him over as much as possible.
I couldn't believe my eyes when a boy and a girl (don't know if she had 55 kg) rented a boat, paid nicely and had to carry it themselves without any help from the one they paid the rent to, down quite a steep slope to the lake...that's the Bohinj principle...as long as you pay, then fend for yourself. Not to mention collecting contribution for using forest paths !?!?! at the Mostnica gorges, when some halfwit stops you in the middle of the forest and wants some euros for the mentioned contribution (presents himself with some tourist association ID) and don't forget that we already paid parking before  You can't believe it unless you experience it!

If you look at the beginning of this post, the first page from 2007, you can see that 6 years ago the toll was exactly the same as now, 10 euros.
Debates about this toll go on every year, every year everyone bashes the greedy Bohinj locals and every year up there at Blato it's all parked full because there's never a shortage of people who can't be bothered to walk to the mountains on foot.
I say the Bohinj people are really greedy, but not stupid at all! No one forces anyone onto that road, and there are tourists everywhere all season. When the season is over, drive on it for free as much as you want. Checked, the road will be empty and at Blato just here and there a car

I read and read but can't stay quiet. Ljubitelj gora and Ana hit the bullseye in my opinion. Usually these parking lots are so people don't drive, so they go on foot. I still remember well when we were building the road still in socialism, always the same song at the workers' meeting "we can't increase wages, we're building the road to Vogar and Blato is so expensive" and now I come to Fužina if I want to go up I pay 10€ and survive. The road to Blato is financed from the municipal budget, but 6km of asphalt isn't free either, the road to Vrata and Vršič is state and you don't think the parking fee is high, but it is. Even my little self coming from Bled first needs a pee break, let alone from Ljubljana or Styria, and there's not even a portable WC. They offer a lot really, because they're not "filthy Bohinjci"
Safe steps and nice weather to all

I don't believe that the high parking fee deters anyone from driving to Blato. It could be 100% higher and there still wouldn't be space on the parking lot. But it's not fair to compare Blato with Logarska. There the "entrance" to the valley is 7€ and annual 15€ (if I'm not mistaken), here it's just parking and nothing else. I don't know if there's an annual ticket for Blato parking. Otherwise, the descent into the valley is more tedious than the ascent at the start of the tour, full of energy.

Of course annual tickets don't exist, because with the current collection system they obviously think they collect enough and more, but I think in the long run they lose guests. Especially indirect providers lose guests.
Praiseworthy of course that over the years the collected fee on this road shows, as it's almost fully asphalted.
What bothers more is that e.g. parking in Bohinj is 100% higher than in Ljubljana center, and that the Bohinj guest card doesn't apply to this road and, what bothers me personally most, that the collector below lets cars up even if the parking is already full.

Don't force us with Lublajna! Where in Lublajna would I park for 5eur all day (less than 50cent per hour)!! And at Blato it's not just parking but also toll!! In my opinion it's still too expensive, because this drive is a luxury from laziness in Triglav National Park!!!
The solution is obvious: close the road to public traffic! Up let a bus drive!
Even Jankec at Lublajna castle abolished parking spaces, so people have to take the funicular up and pay fat parking below!
Now let's set the bus price: transport with funicular (say 300m length) to the castle costs 4eur for 6km length to Blato that's x20! For an adult the transport costs 80eur so that Bohinjci are competitive with Lublajnans!!!!

if you park down below, parking fee is 1€ per hour, which is actually even more expensive
