Planina Blato - Planina pod Mišelj vrhom (via planina Spodnja Grintovica)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue towards Bohinjsko jezero (Ribčev laz), at which you will come to a crossroads where you will turn right towards Stara Fužina. At Stara Fužina, at the crossroads by the chapel, turn sharp left onto the ascending road towards mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and the Voja valley. The road leads to a place where tolls and parking fees are collected, and we follow it to the next crossroads, where we continue to the left (right Voje). We then follow the road to the next crossroads (we drive for some time), where we take a sharp right in the direction of mountain pasture Blato (straight ahead mountain pasture Vogar). Follow this road to the parking lot above mountain pasture Blato.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the dirt road, which takes a few steps past the ramp to a right-hand bend. On the right-hand side of this bend, you will see the start of a hunting trail, which leads us over a short, very steep slope with the help of a jeklenice. The path soon enters the woods and turns slightly to the right, where you come out onto the wide open cart track (you can also follow the road to this point, or the higher cart track). Follow Cart track to the right (the hunting trail continues straight on towards mountain pasture Krstenica), and it climbs steeply for some time. Follow Cart track, from which a few blind branches branch off, to a slightly larger and partially marked crossroads, where you can see the sign Grintovica on one of the trees.
Here, leave the wide cart track and continue along the slightly narrower one on the right, which climbs gently for some time. The path continues slightly downhill a few times, and then we see signs for Grintovica, which direct us right into the dense forest (here we leave the increasingly worse cart track). In the forest, the path disappears completely, and we continue in the same direction, where we come to a large number of fallen trees. Here we cross a marked path leading from the valley of Voja towards mountain pasture Krstenica (the fallen trees make the crossing almost imperceptible, but we must take care not to continue on the marked path). On the other side of the marked trail, cross a small clearing, and the trail returns to the forest and gradually begins to descend more steeply. After a short steep descent, the path is laid and leads to steep slopes, over which we descend mostly crosswise. During the crossing, a few short, slightly exposed slopes are crossed, then the slope is flattened and the route continues with a few short ascents and descents. A little further on, leave the forest and enter the southern part of mountain pasture Zgornja Grintovica, where the first wooden huts can be seen. The path continues through the lane of a forest and leads to a water trough, next to which stands Kef's cottage. We continue on, again through the lane of the forest and follow the path to the upper part of the mountain pasture, where we see some more old shepherd's huts. At the last upper part of mountain pasture, on the right-hand side, near the dilapidated hut, you will see a wide path going into the woods and beginning to descend crosswise towards mountain pasture Spodnja Grintovica. After about 10 minutes of descending, you reach the above-mentioned mountain pasture, where you also join the marked path from the Voja valley.
The way forward returns to the forest, where it starts to climb steeply again. The rather monotonous path then leads us into an unmarked valley (Jurjevčeva vrtača), where it gradually lays down. Further on, the forest becomes a little thinner and the path turns slightly to the right, where after a few minutes of further walking we arrive at a less well-marked crossroads.
At the crossroads continue left (right Vodnikov dom) and continue the ascent along the path, which becomes completely level and leads us in a few minutes of further walking to the intermittent lake near mountain pasture below Mišelj vrh. Here you continue sharp left and after a short cross-climb you reach the aforementioned mountain pasture.
