Planina Blato - Koča na Planini pri Jezeru

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 fee collection point, but we follow it further to the next junction, where we continue left (right to Voje). Then follow the road to the next junction (we drive for quite some time), where we turn sharply right towards Planina Blato (straight to Planina Vogar). Follow this road to the parking lot above Planina Blato.

Route description:
From the marked parking lot in front of Planina Blato, return a little back and head onto a wide and initially also steep cart track, along which there are signs for Planina pri Jezeru. After about ten minutes of ascent, we arrive at a marked junction, from where we continue left towards Planina pri Jezeru (slightly right Planina v Lazu and also a steep path towards Planina pri Jezeru).
Continuing on the less steep cart track that still leads us through the forest, a little further on the left another marked path joins, which leads past Kosijev dom on Vogar, but we continue right and keep walking along the cart track. Higher up, the path leads through a small narrow passage, then we cross quite steep slopes where there is a high risk of slipping on ice and snow, otherwise the path is not demanding. At the end of the steep slope, the aforementioned steep path joins quite unobtrusively from the right, the cart track turns left here and turns into the fairly cool Pungrat valley, where we ascend through mostly spruce forest. When the path levels out higher up, another path joins from the left leading past Planina Vodični vrh, but we keep slightly to the right direction and continue walking along the cart track, along which the forest begins to thin. Only a few minutes of easy walking follow and we step onto the pastures of Planina pri Jezeru, where on a small hill stands Koča na Planini pri Jezeru.
