Planina Blato - Planina Lopučnica (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 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 in front of Planina Blato.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot in front of Planina Blato, return a little back and head onto a wide and initially steep cart track, marked 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 shortly ahead, 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 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 rather cool Pungrat valley, where we ascend through mostly spruce forest. When the path levels out higher up, a path joins from the left leading past Planina Vodični vrh, but we keep slightly right and continue walking on the cart track, beside which the forest begins to thin. A few minutes of easy walking follow and we step onto the pastures of Planina pri Jezeru, where the Koča na Planini pri Jezeru hut stands on a small hillock.
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.
We choose the wider right path marked 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 on steep sections, after about ten minutes of ascent we reach a point where a path via Krištofojca branches left towards Planina Viševnik, but we continue straight on the gradually less steep cart track that leads through gradually sparser forest. A bit more easy walking follows 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 there is also a marked junction by the shepherds' huts.
We 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 a moderate ascent, and almost imperceptibly a path from the nearby hunting hut joins from the left. A little further, the path passes another branch towards Planina Viševnik (path along Grivi (1758 m)), and in the next few minutes we reach the upper edge of the vast Planina Ovčarija, from where a beautiful view opens up to the Bohinjsko - Tolminske gore, sometimes called Spodnje Bohinjske gore. From here a short descent follows and we reach a junction on 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 forks again.
From the fork, 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 Bohinjsko - Tolminske gore.
Here the path turns right and from the plateau descends onto steep grassy slopes across which we descend transversely at a moderate pace to the left. 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 ahead we reach a marked junction above Lopučniška dolina, where we join the path from the Koča pri Savici starting point, or the path leading past Črno jezero.
We continue straight towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (left Koča pri Savici) on a path that gently ascends further, bringing us to a point from which 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 the path from Planina Blato starting point, namely 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.
After resting and enjoying the views, we continue along the path towards Dom na Komni. The path ahead leads along the right (western) side of the lake and ascends transversely. A little further, near the hunting hut which is not visible from the path, the path curves in a semi-circle right and begins to descend gradually. Somewhere in the middle of the descent towards Planina Lopučnica, on a small flattening where the marked path we follow turns left, an unmarked path branches right leading towards the Zgornje Komne plateau and Gladki and Debelem Laštu (the mentioned path gets lost higher up in the karst world).
When we reach the marked junction lower down, we are already at Planina Lopučnica.
