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 Bohinj Lake (Ribčev laz), where we come to a junction, continuing right in the direction of Stara Fužina. In Stara Fužina, at the junction by the chapel, turn sharply left onto the ascending road in the direction of Planina Blato, Planina Vogar and Voje Valley. The road further brings us to the spot where toll is collected, and we park here on the arranged paid parking lot.

Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, signs for the gorges and Mostnica waterfall direct us right onto a wide path, along which we arrive at Hudičev most in a few minutes. We continue straight (right across the Uskovnica bridge via Planina Blatce and Stara Fužina), a little further, at the information board for Mostnica gorges we go slightly right. At the next junction we go slightly right again (left Vogar, possible also to Voje), then we arrive at the place where they collect the fee for maintaining the path through Mostnica gorges (adult entrance fee was 3 EUR in June 2018).
At the mentioned place the path splits, we choose left or right path. Both paths further run near the gorges (by the right path there is a branch-off for viewing the slonček, a natural feature), later they merge into one path, along which we ascend to the gravel road. We follow the road right, along which we quickly arrive at Planinska koča na Vojah.
We continue along the road continuing through Voje valley, following signs for Mostnica waterfall. A little further the road splits, we can continue left along the slightly shorter road alongside which there are signs for Velo polje, or right along a few minutes longer path leading past Mostnica waterfall.
Near the waterfall, at the head of Voje valley both paths merge, we follow the marked path towards Triglav and Vodnikov dom on Velo polje.
The fairly wide path further enters dense forest and ascends above the waterfall which we can partly see below the path, then the path turns left and ascends westwards in a few switchbacks, leading us along relatively steep slopes. At approx. 1150 m elevation the path levels out, a little further it takes us out of the forest to Planina Spodnja Grintovica, where there is a water trough open only in summer months.
At the beginning of the pasture a path branches left to Planina Zgornja Grintovica and Planina Krstenica, we continue straight and on the upper part of the pasture re-enter the forest, the path further is narrower and no longer resembles a mulatjera. Follows a steeper ascent through forested slopes of Tisovec, a side ridge of Stog ridge, higher when the path crosses to northern slopes of the mentioned hill it levels and enters indistinct dolinica Jurjevčeva vrtača.
Here, at the beginning of the dolinica a fairly inconspicuous trail branches right downwards to former Planina Vrtača.
We continue along the marked path leading through gradually sparser forest, higher the path turns right and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a poorly marked junction at the area named Razorje, from which we continue slightly left (right marked path to Vodnikov dom on Velo polje) along the path that completely levels out and brings us in a few minutes of further walking to the intermittent lake near Planina pod Mišelj vrhom.
We bypass the lake on the right side, then at a small pass we reach the marked path Planina pod Mišelj vrhom - Velo polje.
We continue right towards Velo polje and descend to Malo polje, where the path leads along an interesting meandering stream, on the other side of Malo polje we ascend to the pass separating Malo polje from Velo polje.
Here from the right joins also the path from Pokljuka or Uskovnica, we keep the left direction and after a short descent arrive at Velo polje.
