Planina Blato - Lake Zeleno jezero (via Prodi)

Access to starting point:
From the Gorenjska motorway (Lesce exit), Železniki or Soriška planina, we drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Lake Bohinj. In Ribčev Laz, just before the lake, we turn right towards Stara Fužina, where we first drive over a bridge with a beautiful view of Lake Bohinj and past the church of St. John the Baptist. When we arrive in Stara Fužina, at the intersection by the chapel, we turn sharply left onto the ascending road towards Planina Blato, Planina Vogar and Voje Valley. The road then takes us to the place where toll and parking fees are collected; we follow it further to the next intersection, where we continue left (right Voje). We then follow the road to the next intersection (we drive for quite some time), where we turn sharply right towards Planina Blato (straight Planina Vogar). We then follow this road to the marked parking lot above Planina Blato.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot in front of Planina Blato, we return a little back and head onto a wide and initially steep cart track, along which there are signs for Planina pri Jezeru. After about ten minutes of ascent, we reach 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 through the forest, a marked path joins from the left a little further on, leading past Kosijev dom on Vogarju; we continue right and keep walking along the cart track. Higher up, the path leads through a narrow passage, then crosses 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 inconspicuously from the right, the cart track turns left here and enters the fairly cold 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; we keep slightly to the right and continue walking along the cart track, beside which the forest begins to thin. A few more minutes of easy walking follow, and we step onto the pastures of Planina pri Jezeru, where the Koča na Planini pri Jezeru stands on a small hillock.
At the hut, a path branches right towards Planina v Lazu; we continue left from the hut and descend to a marked junction where there are also a few shepherds' huts.
We choose the wider right path, along which there are signs for Planina Dedno polje and Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (slightly left Pršivec, Planina Viševnik and Črno jezero).
We continue ascending the cart track, which is quite rocky on steep sections; after about ten minutes of ascent, we reach a point where a path branches left over Krištofojca towards Planina Viševnik; we continue straight on the gradually less steep cart track that leads through increasingly sparse forest. A few more minutes of easy walking follow on the path, which later turns slightly right; when the path turns back towards the west, we already reach the edge of Planina Dedno polje, from where a short walk leads to the central part of the pasture, where there is also a marked junction by the shepherds' huts.
We bypass the shepherds' huts and cheese dairy on the left side and continue straight towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (right valley Za Kopico). From the pasture onwards, we begin a moderate ascent, and a path from a nearby hunting hut joins almost imperceptibly from the left. A little further, the path passes another branch towards Planina Viševnik (path along Griva (1758 m)); we arrive at the upper edge of the vast Planina Ovčarija in the next few minutes, from where a beautiful view opens up to the Bohinjsko-Tolminske mountains, sometimes called the Lower Bohinj mountains. From here, a short descent follows, and we reach a junction in the northeastern part of the pasture.
We continue slightly right towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Male Tičarice (left Planina Viševnik), and the path soon splits again.
From the junction, we follow the signs for the path over Prodi (right path over Štapce), and after a few more minutes, we reach a beautiful vantage point from which a nice view opens to the Komna plateau and the Bohinjsko-Tolminske mountains.
Here the path turns right and from the plateau descends onto steep grassy slopes, across which we descend transversely to the left at a moderate pace. Lower down, the path enters dense forest, the slope becomes less steep, and we ascend steeply for a short time. A few minutes further, we reach a marked junction above the Lopučniška dolina, where we join the path from the Koča pri Savici or the path passing by Črno jezero.
We continue straight towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (left Koča pri Savici) along the path that gently ascends further, bringing us to a point from which a beautiful view of Dvojno jezero opens. Here we also pass a branch to the Russian Grave, then the path leads along the right, eastern side of Dvojno jezero, where the path from Planina Blato over Štapce joins from the right.
We continue straight, and when we leave the lake shore, only a few dozen steps of easy walking separate us from Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih.
From the hut, we continue towards Triglav, Dolič, Hribarice, Prehodavci and Veliki Špičje, where the path first leads past the dam and the artificial Močivec lake. The path bypasses the lake on the right, eastern side and then moderately ascends along the Dolina Triglavskih jezer, which is overgrown with increasingly sparse forest.
Still in the belt of sparse forest, the path splits; we continue on the slightly right path that proceeds towards Prehodavci and Hribarice (left path to Veliko oz. Lepo Špičje over the Zgornje Komne plateau) and leads us first through sparse larch forest, then under the scree of the mighty Kopica and later Male Zelnarice. Later, the path ascends a bit more and brings us to a small pass from which a beautiful view of Jezero v Ledvicah opens.
The marked path bypasses the mentioned lake on the right side, continuing over extensive scree at the foot of both Zelnarice. After the lake, the path returns from the scree to Dolina Triglavskih jezer, along which we continue a relatively gentle ascent. The already fully alpine path steeply ascends for a short time higher up, then levels out completely and after a few more minutes of walking brings us to Zeleno jezero.
