Planina Blato - Planina v Lazu (via planina pri Jezeru)

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 you reach a junction; 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 you to the toll and parking fee collection point, but follow it further to the next junction, where you continue left (right to Voje). Then follow the road to the next junction (you drive for quite a while), where you 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 onto a wide and initially also steep cart track, alongside which are signs for Planina pri Jezeru. After about ten minutes of ascent, you arrive at a marked junction, from where you 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, which continues to lead through the forest, a marked path joins from the left shortly afterwards, 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, and the cart track turns left here and enters the rather cool Pungrat valley, where we ascend mostly through 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, 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 the Koča na Planini pri Jezeru hut stands on a small hillock.
From Planina pri Jezeru, continue along the right side of the mountain hut towards Planina v Lazu (left Planina Viševnik, Planina Dedno polje and Dolina Triglavskih jezer). Continue along the cart track path that bypasses Lake on Planina pri Jezeru on the right side and begins to ascend moderately through the forest behind it. After a 15-minute ascent, the path brings you to a small pass, from which it begins to descend (here we will notice the start of the construction of the "black" road). The path then descends quickly and brings you into a small valley along which you continue walking. From the relatively gentle path, a path soon branches off to the left upwards to Planina Dedno polje; we continue straight along the lower path towards Planina v Lazu. A pleasant mountain path that leads us across a series of small valleys and eventually brings us to an interesting hummocky meadow. Here the path turns right and after a short ascent brings us to Planina v Lazu.
