Actually it would be more correct to say it's paying for road use to Blato, not parking, since there's no guarantee you'll find space up there if you're not early enough

Despite expensive parking fee aka toll, on weekends so far no decrease in traffic seen. Anyway, currently right that the ramp is down, since there's still snow aka ice on the road and last year many cases where cars went too far and then called various towing services, locals with SUVs, tractors etc...

jax, if you're so sensitive about parking in Ljubljana, you could at least answer the question. That "3 euros per hour isn't anywhere in Ljubljana" says nothing.
korl, that about the inn holds. Coffee after tour usually really costs me more than "parking fee" in some backwater spot.

As a Gorenjka, whenever possible I park where it's free  If not, I pay. And for Blato I don't mind paying, because with that money they maintain the road. Ok, 15 eur isn't little, but considering we mostly start full-day tours from Blato, those 15 eur still aren't that much if we're there e.g. 10 or 12 hours. At least not for me. It's true though that I park at Blato 1-2x per season. For comparison, parking at Savica for full day costs 10 eur.
I see Bohinj folks have currently dropped parking rates at and around the lake to 0.50 eur/hour, in summer much more expensive - if I'm not mistaken up to 3 eur/hour. That's expensive considering average parking per hour is around 1 euro. As one already wrote, if you don't like something, just don't go there. If you do go, you take into account right away you'll have to pay something for it.

@polona, as a regular visitor to Lake Bohinj I can confirm that parking right at the lake in summer is 3 EUR/hour, a bit further away it's cheaper from 1.50 to 2.50 EUR. In winter (and probably late autumn) it's much cheaper. It's probably also expensive at the gorges, so for a full-day tour even 15 EUR isn't that bad - we also don't go that often, so it's not so bad.
Bojan and Drago have given a very concrete option, more people in the car and not each separately up, then it's also cheaper

Touristically speaking the Bohinj area is exemplarily well arranged, not just nature, lots of nice and interesting stuff, even tasty things to find. Under Kobla in Bohinjska Bistrica parking is free, bus to lake and surrounding hamlets the same (at least last year). So swimming, cycling, sunbathing, walking by the lake, inns and museums, no problem. But if you take for example a solo tour to Škednjovec and pretend to be a Gorenjec even if not, it costs you best case 15€. If you want to swim after the tour, already 17€ or 18€ and if you add coffee to swimming we're at 20€ plus. And basically you just went to mountains and jumped in water, which is "public good"  If you think also of SUP after the tour and lunch before, then almost necessary Thursday visit to the bank and ask for extraordinary limit. Sure is sure

These debates drag on from year to year like green snakes, but they change nothing. Some agree with the payments, others don't, and above all everyone argues from their own position. The one not from Ljubljana criticizes the height of the parking fee in the city, the one not from Bohinj, there. Interesting, very rarely, actually I don't know if I've seen it on the forum yet, that criticism would refer e.g. to parking in Piran, even though you roam the coast quite a bit. Always Ljubljana on the tongue and in rural Bohinj; resolution and change always lacking.
Actually I'm really only interested in one thing, who among those who don't mind paying 10 or 15 EUR for parking, would pay it to someone who would also go but can't afford it? ...and there are many like that in Slovenia.

Actually we have to come to terms with it if we decide to go to those areas. But I can still comment that it's exploitation of people by the municipality - if you drive up, just pay. I think that because there are tolls abroad too, but not so high. For example in the Dolomites you pay rarely, if at all, prices are lower. Obviously Slovenes have too high a standard and nice salaries.

That someone can't pay parking but can go to mountains every week is a bit far-fetched. I assume those who post here are frequent at this location.
Sometimes need to reduce number of trips, then it works. Or visit places without parking fee.
Planina Blato hasn't seen me yet, maybe never will.
And one more. Ljubljana is our capital and should be accessible to all, just like Triglav with its parking lots. That's why comparison of parking prices.

This year there are municipal elections. Everyone can contribute with their vote to a more reasonable regulation on public parking areas. Otherwise, "online" parking zones will be everywhere.

Dprapr, you've probably never been in such a situation. Mountains can keep you 'above water'. And yes, those who are more or less permanently in such a situation will probably never choose Blato as a starting point. For those who can afford it, it depends on preferences, but that's not the topic here.

@feliks
Don't compare with Dolomites, they have their prices (e.g. parking under Seceda), compare also the rest of South Tyrol or Austria.
I wouldn't list all examples, because it costs quite a bit.
You have a choice: if you want to drive, pay or go on foot. And nobody complains.

Everyone decides their own way. From tomorrow there will be paid parking also on Planina Kuhinja, 10 euros. Of course if they brought the parking meter up. I mean hikers will drive there too and pay for parking. Like on Planina Blato.

Also for Mojstrana to Sleme there's now paid parking, I think 10 euros/day. Last year there was no paid parking there. This year there will be new paid parking in Završnica and road to Valvazorjev dom closed with barrier, can't go further in valley. Yeah if more people in car costs shared so even 15 euros for Blato not much in that case, if alone quite expensive. I have car converted to gas to drive cheaper around.

Cars for 10, 20 thousand euros and more, gear usually best off, phone for thousands, but 15 € for road too much.
No problem spending greens on status symbols, then hop to discount and watch which yogurt cheaper by 5 cents.
Understand who can.
Next time buying car, buy 1k € cheaper and have for 66 trips to Blato and still for coffee left.

Yes, Kuhinja is a new example of the greed of local sheriffs and how bad examples (mainly from Gorenjska) are pulling even to us. Some just have no measure, that's why I extremely rarely visit such places. If I do, I have the habit that in places where their goal is fleecing visitors I don't leave even a cent for local products or in the inn. When I go to Porezen from P brda, I'll gladly buy something on the farm and pay 2Eur voluntary contribution for parking.

Please, no more commenting with me about parking fees.
We're just taking example from neighbors, which is right, only the difference is what you get for that parking price somewhere. Maybe they'll mature here too, that if you pay for road use or parking, you expect some things to be arranged, surroundings, benches, arranged road ...
I myself welcomed it when they started charging on Velika planina.
But I'll always ask, what have you arranged with that money? If we pay, let the municipalities make an effort for better situation and arrangement.
In Austria on one tour we paid for forest road use if we wanted to drive higher, it's private land and it seems completely normal, nothing is free, as we're used to here for a long time.

The problem is not only pl. Blato, how to get to Ratitovec etc. More and more roads to starting points for visiting pastures are being closed arbitrarily by farmers or locals who interpret the laws their own way, although it's taxpayers who contribute money for maintaining those roads. But we'll gladly take our money elsewhere, where they welcome us with open arms and know how to treat guests, even if we're just day visitors.

Thanks lijaneja, I'll take that as a compliment. Herd thinking never suited me well. Anyway, these debates about parking fees are always the same and drag on like a spring snake. I just say that everyone can think for themselves if they're really that prudent with all expenses/purchases throughout the year, that they can't afford one or two hikes to a place with paid parking. And since we're on the road to Blato (and far from defending Bohince), for that money you now have asphalt pulled up there. Those of older vintage know how it was before, especially after some rain.
