Polje - Poljanski vrh

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Lesce, and then we continue driving towards Bled and Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue on the main road towards Lake Bohinj, and after the village Kamnje we need to pay attention, because on the right side, only a few meters before the beginning of the village Polje, we will park on a parking lot by the river Sava Bohinjka.

Path description:
From the parking lot first we carefully cross the road, then for a short time we continue along the main road towards Polje. When we arrive in Polje, we continue left on a local road, along which we quickly walk to a smaller crossroad, by which we notice the first mountain signposts for Orožnova koča, Planina Osredki and Črna prst. We continue in the mentioned direction and further walk on a narrower asphalt road, which in a gentle ascent brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the lower right road (left Bohinjska Bistrica). The path ahead brings us to the beginning of the village Žlan and a little further also to the center of the mentioned village. Above the village the asphalt ends and a macadam road brings us to some sort of turning point and a trough with water (to here we can also come by car, this shortens the path by approximately 20 minutes).
From the trough we continue left, where first over a smaller bridge we cross the nearby stream, then we start to moderately ascend along the edge of an ample pasture. A little higher we cross the pasture fence, so that we move to the inner side of the pasture. Further we ascend across the ample pasture, but the path mostly leads through a very sparse forest. Higher we leave the pasture, and the path turns into dense forest. Further we cross an erosion-damaged cart track, then for a short time we ascend along a smaller torrent stream. The path ahead ascends to a poorer forest road, along which for some time we continue the ascent. When we arrive at the crossroad, where we join a wider macadam road (road that leads from Ravne towards Planina Storeča raven) we follow it to the left and even descend a little on it (when we reach the road we do not continue straight on the ascending cart track, on which the mountain signpost partly misleadingly points). After a short descent, a marked cart track branches off to the right.
We continue the path on the slightly overgrown cart track, which after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a marked junction.
We continue straight (left Črna prst past Orožnova koča and Planina za Liscem) on the cart track, which higher brings us into a smaller valley through which we ascend to the next forest road. When we step onto the road we continue a few steps to the left, then the mountain sign for Črna prst directs us right into the forest, where it starts to ascend steeply. The path a little higher crosses an overgrown clearing (fern and raspberry bushes) and then returns to the forest, through which it continues all the way to Planina Osredki.
From the Planina where there are two smaller wooden huts (one is converted into a bivouac) we continue along the left side of the watering pond, on a poorly visible path that starts to moderately ascend among bushes and individual trees. The still poorly visible path, which is well marked, brings us higher to a somewhat larger meadow at the edge of which we notice the next pond. The path then ascends ever more steeply and slowly turns to the left. At the top of the ascent we step onto a smaller saddle, behind which the path turns right and ascends transversely. A few more minutes of ascent follow on a slope overgrown with dwarf pines and the path brings us to the main ridge of the Spodnje Bohinjske gore.
From the ridge from where a beautiful view opens towards the south, we continue right in the direction towards Vogel (left Črna prst 10 minutes). The path ahead becomes more demanding as with the help of steel cables, mostly without them, it crosses very steep grassy slopes that are dangerous for slipping. The path then levels out somewhat and brings us to the saddle Vrata (1721m). The path then again withdraws from the ridge to the left and after that ascends transversely across the next steep slope. That the path is not entirely easy is indicated by a memorial plaque. The steepness of the slopes then gradually eases and the path again approaches the main ridge (here we can ascend to Četrt in 15 minutes - easy pathless terrain).
We continue along the panoramic, mostly grass-covered ridge (towards the west), which gently ascends towards Konjski vrh, which the path bypasses on the left side. After that the path descends slightly and brings us to an indistinct saddle between Konjski and Poljanski vrh.
At this indistinct saddle we leave the marked path and in 10 minutes ascend on easier pathless terrain to the grass-covered Poljanski vrh.

On the way: Žlan (600m), Planina Osredki (1400m), Vrata (1721m)
