Planina Blato - Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (via Prodi)

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 brings us to the toll and parking fee collection point, and we follow it further to the next junction, where we continue 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 before Planina Blato.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot in front of Planina Blato, return a little back and head onto the wide and initially also steep cart track, alongside which 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 the steep path towards Planina pri Jezeru).
Continuing on the less steep cart track that still leads through the forest, a little further on the left joins another marked path leading past Kosijev dom on Vogar, but we continue right and keep walking on the cart track. Higher up, the path leads through a narrow passage, then crosses quite steep slopes where there is a great risk of slipping in ice and snow, otherwise the path is not demanding. At the end of the steep slope, the aforementioned steep path joins unobtrusively from the right, the cart track turns left here and passes into the fairly cold Pungrat valley, where we ascend through mostly spruce forest. When the path levels out higher up, a path leading past Planina Vodični vrh joins from the left, but we keep slightly to the right direction and continue walking on the cart track, alongside 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 the Koča na Planini pri Jezeru.
At the hut, a path branches right towards Planina v Lazu, but we continue left from the hut and descend to a marked junction, where there are also a few shepherds' huts.
Choose the wider right path alongside which are signs for Planina Dedno polje and Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (slightly left Pršivec, Planina Viševnik and Črno jezero).
We also continue ascending on the cart track, which is quite rocky in steep places, after about ten minutes of ascent we arrive at a point where a path over Krištofojca branches left towards Planina Viševnik, but we continue straight on the gradually less steep cart track that leads through gradually sparser forest. A few more minutes of easy walking follow on the path that later turns slightly right, when the path turns back towards the west we already reach the edge of Planina Dedno polje, from where a walk to the central part of the pasture follows, where by the shepherds' huts there is also a marked junction.
Bypass the shepherds' huts and dairy on the left side and continue straight towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (right valley Za Kopico). From the pasture onwards we begin to ascend moderately, and from the left an almost unnoticeable path from the nearby hunting hut joins us. A little further the path leads past another branch of the path towards Planina Viševnik (path along Griva (1758 m)), and in the next few minutes we arrive at the upper edge of the vast Planina Ovčarija, from where a beautiful view opens up to the Bohinj-Tolmin mountains, sometimes called Lower Bohinj mountains. From here a short descent follows and we arrive at a junction on the northeastern part of the pasture.
Continue slightly right towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Male Tičarice (left Planina Viševnik), and the path soon splits again.
From the junction follow the signs for the path via Prodi (right path over Štapce) and after a few more minutes arrive at a beautiful vantage point from which a nice view opens to the Komna plateau and Bohinj-Tolmin mountains.
Here the path turns right and from the plateau passes onto steep grassy slopes across which we descend transversely to the left in a moderate descent. Lower down the path enters dense forest, the slope becomes less steep, and we steeply ascend for a short time further on. A few minutes further we reach a marked junction above Lopučniška dolina, where we join the path starting at Koča pri Savici, or the path leading past Črno jezero.
Continue straight towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (left Koča pri Savici) on the path that gently ascends further, bringing us to a point from where a nice view of Dvojno jezero opens. Here we also pass a branch to Ruski grob, then the path leads along the right, eastern side of Dvojno jezero, where from the right joins the path starting at Planina Blato, namely the path over Štapce.
Continue straight and when we leave the lake shore, only a few dozen steps of easy walking separate us from Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih.
