Stara fužina - Velo polje

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 collection point, where we park at the organized paid parking lot.

Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, signs for the Mostnica gorges and waterfall direct us right onto a wide path, along which we arrive at the Devil's Bridge in a few minutes. Continue straight (right over the bridge to Uskovnica via planina Blatce and Stara Fužina), a little further, at the information board for the Mostnica gorges, go slightly right. At the next junction, go slightly right again (left Vogar, also possible to Voje), then we arrive at the place where they collect the fee for maintaining the path through the Mostnica gorges (adult entrance fee was 3 euros in June 2018).
At the mentioned place, the path splits, and we choose the left or right path. Both paths continue near the gorges (near the right path there is a side path to see the elephant, a natural feature), later they merge into one path, along which we climb to the gravel road. Follow the road to the right, along it we quickly arrive at the Planinska koča na Vojah.
Continue along the road that continues through Voje valley, but follow the signs for the Mostnica waterfall. A little further, the road splits, and we can continue left along the slightly shorter road with signs for Velo polje, or right along the path a few minutes longer that leads past the Mostnica waterfall.
Near the waterfall, at the head of Voje valley, both paths merge, and we follow the marked path towards Triglav and Vodnikov dom na Velem polju.
The fairly wide path further enters dense forest and climbs above the waterfall, which we can partially see below the path, then the path turns left and climbs westwards in a few switchbacks, leading us along relatively steep slopes. At an altitude of about 1150 meters, the path levels out, a little further it takes us out of the forest to planina Spodnja Grintovica, where there is a water trough that is open only in summer months.
At the beginning of the planina, a path branches left towards planina Zgornja Grintovica and planina Krstenica, but we continue straight and on the upper part of the planina re-enter the forest, the path further on is narrower and no longer resembles a mulatjera. A steeper ascent follows through the forested slopes of Tisovec, which is a side ridge of the Stogov ridge, when higher up the path crosses to the northern slopes of the mentioned hill, it levels out and enters the indistinct valley Jurjevčeva vrtača.
Here, at the beginning of the valley, a fairly inconspicuous path branches right downwards towards the former planina Vrtača.
Continue along the marked path, which leads us through gradually sparser forest, the path higher up turns right and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a poorly marked junction at the area called Razorje, from which we continue slightly left (right marked path towards Vodnikov dom na Velem polju) along the path that completely levels out and brings us in a few minutes of further walking to the seasonal lake near planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
We bypass the small lake on the right side, then at a small pass we reach the marked path planina pod Mišelj vrhom - Velo polje.
Continue right towards Velo polje and descend to Malo polje, where the path leads along an interesting winding stream, on the other side of Malo polje we climb to the pass that separates Malo polje from Velo polje.
Here, a path from Pokljuka or Uskovnica joins from the right, but we keep to the left direction and after a short descent arrive at Velo polje.
