Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue driving towards Lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we reach a junction and continue right towards Stara Fužina. In Stara Fužina, at the junction by the chapel, turn sharply left onto the ascending road towards Planina Blato, Planina Vogar and Voje Valley. The road then takes us to the toll and parking collection point, from which we continue to the next junction, turning left (right Voje). Then follow the road to the next junction (we drive for quite some time), where we turn sharply right towards Planina Blato (straight Planina Vogar). Follow this road to the parking lot above Planina Blato.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue on the gravel road, which takes us past the barrier in a few steps to a right bend. On the right side of this bend, we will notice the start of a hunting trail, which with the aid of a fixed cable leads us across a short very steep slope. The path soon enters the forest and turns slightly to the right, where we step onto a wide eroded cart track (up to here also possible by road, or higher on the cart track). Follow the cart track to the right (straight ahead the hunting trail continues towards Planina Krstenica), it continues steeply uphill for a while. Follow the cart track, from which a few dead-end branches branch off, to a somewhat larger and partially marked junction, where on one of the trees we notice the inscription Grintovica.
Here we leave the wide cart track and continue on the right somewhat narrower cart track, which gently ascends for a while. The path further descends slightly a few times, then we notice signs for Grintovica, which direct us right into the dense forest (here we leave the increasingly poor cart track). In the forest, the trail completely disappears, but we continue in the same direction, reaching a larger number of fallen trees. Here we cross a marked path leading from Voje Valley towards Planina Krstenica (due to fallen trees, the crossing is almost unnoticeable, but we must still be careful not to continue on the marked path). On the other side of the marked path, we cross a small clearing, the path then returns to the forest behind it and gradually begins to descend more steeply. After a short steep descent, the path levels out, leading us to steep slopes across which we mostly descend transversely. During the crossing, we pass a few shorter slightly exposed slopes, then the slope levels out, and the path continues with a few shorter ascents and descents. A bit further, we exit the forest onto the southern part of Planina Zgornja Grintovica, where we notice the first wooden huts. The path further crosses a band of forest and leads us to a water trough, next to which stands Kefova koča. We continue further, again through a band of forest, and follow the path to the upper part of the alpine pasture, where we notice a few more old shepherds' dwellings.
At the very upper part of the alpine pasture, on the right side near a collapsing hut, we will notice a wide path that enters the forest and begins to descend transversely towards Planina Spodnja Grintovica. After about ten minutes of descent, we reach the mentioned alpine pasture, where we also join the marked path from Voje Valley, which we follow left (right downhill Voje) and on the upper part of the alpine pasture re-enter the forest, the path further on is narrower and no longer resembles a mule track. This is followed by a steeper ascent through the forested slopes of Tisovec, which is a side ridge of the Stogov ridge; higher up, as the path crosses to the northern slopes of the mentioned hill, it levels out and enters an indistinct depression Jurjevčeva vrtača.
Here, at the beginning of the depression, a fairly unnoticeable path branches off to the right downhill towards the former Planina Vrtača.
Continue on the marked path, which leads us through gradually sparser forest; higher up, the path turns right and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a poorly marked junction in the area called Razorje, from which we continue slightly left (right marked path towards Vodnikov dom on Velem polju) on a path that completely levels out and in a few minutes of further walking brings us to a seasonal lake near Planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
We bypass the small lake on the right side, then on a small pass we reach the marked path Planina pod Mišelj vrhom - Velo polje.
Here go left (right Velo polje) and quickly arrive at Planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
At Planina pod Mišelj vrhom we reach a junction, where a marked path branches right to Mišeljski preval; we continue straight ahead on the equally marked path, which gradually begins to ascend more steeply. Higher up, the path crosses a band of larch forest, then steeply climbs over first rocky and then grassy slopes. After just under an hour of walking from Planina pod Mišelj vrhom, the path levels out, leading us in a few more steps to Jezerski preval, where we leave the markings.
From the pass, continue left (straight downhill Planina Jezerce) and continue on the initially gentle path that crosses increasingly steep grassy slopes to the south. Just a little further, we reach a scenic and occasionally exposed ridge, the path quickly takes us to the summit slope of Jezerski Stog, where it begins to ascend steeply over crumbly slopes. Follow this in the final part quite steep and slippery path all the way to the panoramic summit, which we reach after five minutes of further walking.
