Planina Blato - Planina Blato (circular path on Fužinske planine)

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 you reach a junction and continue 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 you to the toll and parking fee point, but follow it further to the next junction, where you continue left (right to Voje). Follow the road to the next junction (after quite some driving), where you turn sharply right towards Planina Blato (straight to Planina Vogar). Follow this road to the parking lot above Planina Blato.

Route description:
From the marked parking lot at Planina Blato, return a few dozen steps back, then head onto the wide and initially quite steep cart track towards Planina pri Jezeru. After ten minutes of fairly steep ascent, reach a marked junction, continuing on the left steep cart track (straight Planina v Lazu), to which a marked path from Planina Vogar joins a little higher up. Continue on the wide, partly stony cart track which temporarily levels higher up, then steeply ascends through a small cut. Further the path levels again and then crosses steep slopes (danger of slipping in snow and ice). A little further the path turns sharply left leading into the cold valley named Pungrat, where you cross the renovated pasture fence. The path ahead ascends more steeply again, then turns right and levels completely. Just a few meters further, a path from Planina Vodični vrh joins from the left, we continue straight and after five minutes of further walking arrive at Planina pri Jezeru, in the middle of which stands the mountain hut.
From the mountain hut descend to the marked junction, where signs for Planina Viševnik direct left onto an initially less visible trail. The path ascends transversely ahead, then enters the forest through which it climbs all the way to Planina Viševnik.
At Planina Viševnik continue right towards Planina Ovčarije and Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih on the path which begins to ascend more steeply on the relatively steep slopes of Griva (1757 m). The path soon levels, then continues with some shorter ascents and descents all the way to Planina Ovčarije. From the shepherd huts continue a little further, then the path leads to a marked junction, continuing right towards Planina Dedno polje.
The path ahead first ascends steeply for a short time, then begins to descend gradually towards Planina Dedno polje, which you reach after more than 30 minutes of further walking.
From Planina Dedno polje continue towards Planina v Lazu on an initially harder-to-follow and barely visible trail. Approximately five minutes away from the pasture the trail becomes more distinct and easier to follow. Follows a short ascent to an indistinct pass between Kredo and Mizčna glava, then the path begins to descend towards the path leading from Planina pri Jezeru to Planina v Lazu. When you see the mentioned path already a few dozen meters below, our path turns left and temporarily ascends slightly. Follows crossing of steep and slightly exposed slopes, then the path finally descends to the aforementioned trail. Follow the trail left and climb up to Planina v Lazu in ten minutes of gentle ascent.
When stepping onto the pasture, bypass several shepherd huts, we continue on the moderately ascending path towards Planina Krstenica. After a short ascent reach the next junction, where signs for Krstenica direct slightly left onto the path which levels completely and then continues with some shorter ascents and descents along the foot of Ogradov. Later the path begins to descend more noticeably and leads into an indistinct valley east of Ogradov. Follows a few minutes of walking through dense forest, then gradually begin ascending towards Planina Krstenica. The forest ahead becomes sparser, the path leads to Planina Krstenica after 15 minutes of further walking, from which a nice view opens.
At the pasture leave the sparse markings already from Dedno polje onwards and begin descending on an unmarked cart track towards Planina Blato. When the cart track levels on a larger meadow, you will notice a well-trodden hunter's path on the right side, which first ascends gently, then enters dense forest, where it first descends gently, lower more steeply. When the path has been descending for some time, it leads to a wide cart track, down which you descend to Planina Blato in a few minutes.
From the pasture only a short five-minute moderate ascent on the macadam road separates us from our goal (starting point).
