Planina Blato - Krsteniški Stog (čez Krsteniški preval)

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, continuing 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 continue following it to the next junction, where we turn left (right to Voje). We 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). We 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 the mentioned bend, we will notice the start of the hunter's path, which with the aid of a wire rope leads us across a short but very steep slope. The path soon enters the forest and turns slightly to the right, where it soon crosses a wide cart track (you can also go by road up to here, or higher along the cart track).
Further on, we ascend along a pleasant forest path that climbs parallel to a relatively steep cart track. Higher up, the path turns left, and from the right a trail joins us that leaves the cart track about 15 minutes above Planina Blato.
The hunter's path continues through the forest with some short steep ascents and after about an hour of walking brings us to a small hunter's hut located on the left side of the path. Here, a one-minute path branches off to the left to a viewpoint where we can observe Planina Blato below us.
From the hunter's hut onwards, the path soon takes us out of the forest, where we rejoin the cart track. It then takes just over five minutes of walking to Planina Krstenica, where a nice view opens up of Ograde, Krn and the Bohinj - Tolmin mountains, sometimes called the Lower Bohinj Mountains.
From the shepherds' huts, we head somewhat eastwards, then continue the ascent along a scenic grassy ridge that rises moderately towards the north. On the upper part of the planina, we step back onto a clearly visible little path that turns right just before the steep slopes of Krsteniški Stog. The path then crosses a small scree slope, then continues in a moderate ascent across scenic and partly grassy slopes, from which we enjoy a nice view of Tosc and Voje Valley. Higher up, the path turns increasingly left so that we soon reach the northern slopes, which are occasionally a bit steeper but not exposed. When we reach the north side of Krsteniški Stog, a nice view of Jezerski Stog and Triglav opens up, and we follow the moderately steep path to the main ridge of the Stogs, reaching it slightly south of the saddle between Krsteniški and Jezerski Stog. Once on the ridge, we continue left and ascend along an initially less visible trail that climbs through a belt of dwarf pines. The path then turns slightly left, then after a short steep ascent brings us to the ridge, where we quickly reach the forepeak of Krsteniški Stog. Followed by a slight descent and then an easy ascent to the nearby summit along a very scenic ridge that is slightly exposed in a few places.
