Planina Blato - Kreda (via Slatna)

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, continuing left (right to Voje). Then follow the road to the next junction (it takes quite some time driving), where we turn sharply right towards Planina Blato (straight to Planina Vogar). Follow this road to the parking lot above Planina Blato.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot in front of Planina Blato, return a little back and head to the wide and initially steep cart track, alongside which there are signs for Planina pri Jezeru. After about ten minutes of ascent, arrive at a marked junction, from where continue left towards Planina pri Jezeru (slightly right Planina v Lazu and also steep path towards Planina pri Jezeru).
Continuing on the less steep cart track, which continues through the forest, a little further a marked path joins from the left leading past Kosijev dom on Vogar, but we continue right and keep walking on the cart track. Higher up, the path leads through a small narrow passage, then crosses quite steep slopes where there is great danger of slipping in ice and snow, otherwise the path is not demanding. At the end of the steep slope, the aforementioned steep path joins inconspicuously from the right, the cart track turns left here and passes into the fairly cool Pungrat valley, where we ascend through mostly spruce forest. When the path levels higher up, a path joins from the left leading past Planina Vodični vrh, but we stick to the slightly right direction and continue walking on the cart track, along which the forest begins to thin. Only a few minutes of easy walking remain and we step onto the pastures of Planina pri Jezeru, where Koča na Planini pri Jezeru stands on a small rise.
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 shepherd huts.
Choose the wider right path alongside which there are signs for Planina Dedno polje and Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (slightly left Pršivec, Planina Viševnik and Črno jezero).
Continuing ascent on the cart track, which is quite rocky on steep sections, after about ten minutes of ascent arrive at the place where a path branches left over Krištofojca towards Planina Viševnik, but we continue straight on the gradually less steep cart track leading through gradually sparser forest. A few minutes of easy walking follow on the path, which later turns slightly right, when the path turns back towards the west we reach the edge of Planina Dedno polje, from where a walk to the central part of the pasture follows, where there is also a marked junction by the shepherd huts.
Here we leave the wide path leading straight to Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and nearby Planina Ovčarija and continue right on the path towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih, Vratca pass and Hribarice saddle. The path further leads past a few huts on the pasture, behind which a path branches right towards Planina v Lazu, Planina Krstenica and Vodnikov dom on Velem polju, but we continue straight to the northwest part of the pasture, where the path starts ascending. Here the path first leads past a dry animal watering hole, then becomes steeper and ascends through mostly coniferous spruce and larch forest. After about thirty minutes of steep ascent, the path levels and brings us to a kind of saddle between Kovačičeva glava on the left and Kreda on the right.
A little further from the saddle, which can be traced as Stog, an unmarked path branches right towards Slatna, and the first beautiful views open up to the mountains rising above the Za Kopico valley.
Here, at the cairn, head right onto the unmarked path that ascends transversely across a small scree slope, soon transitioning to grassy slopes up which we ascend to a small indistinct pass, where the trail is lost for a short time, but in good weather this causes no orientation problems.
The path continues up the valley between Prvi Vogar on the left and Slatno on the right, the valley gradually narrows higher up. The occasionally quite steep path levels higher and brings us to the saddle between the aforementioned mountains, where a pathless approach from Planina v Lazu also joins, running through the gully between the two mountains.
Here the trail is finally lost, but we go right and ascend to the 2077 m high summit in ten minutes of easy ascent on the grassy slope of Slatna.
From Slatna continue southwest and begin easy descent on the southeast slopes of Slatna, lower down arriving in a small valley between Slatno and Kreda. The valley first narrows, when it widens again we stop descending and a passage opens towards the summit of Kreda. Another approx. five minutes of moderate ascent follow and we reach the summit of Kreda.
