Stara Fužina - Planina Krstenica

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 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 dolina Voje. Follow this road to the parking lot where road toll and parking fees are collected.

Route 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 reach Hudičev most in a few minutes. Continue straight (right over the Uskovnica bridge via planina Blatce and Stara Fužina), a little further at the information board for 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 Mostnica gorges (adult entrance fee was 3 euros in June 2018).
At the mentioned spot the path splits, and we choose the left or right path. Both paths continue near the gorges (off the right path there is a branch to see the slonček, a natural feature), later they merge into one path along which we ascend to a gravel road. Follow the road right, past the NOB monument we quickly reach the Mountain Hut at Voje.
A few tens of meters before the Hut at Voje, at the monument leave the road and continue left westwards along a gentle cart track, which quickly brings us to a small junction where we continue on the left marked path. Continue ascent on a moderately steep path which after a short climb brings us to the forest-covered ridge Ravno brdo. Here the path turns right and temporarily flattens. A little further we notice a small cross by the path, and from here the path becomes steeper.
Further on we steeply ascend through dense forest for some time. At about 1300 m elevation the path flattens, and a few elevation meters higher it brings us to the place where we cross the unmarked path planina Blato - planina Zgornja Grintovica. Crossing the mentioned path is almost unnoticeable as there is a lot of fallen timber exactly there covering both paths.
Here continue in the same direction and soon step again onto a nicely traceable but poorly marked path. The path ahead climbs through dense forest for a while longer, then slowly approaches the nearby planina Krstenica. Higher the forest becomes sparser, the path less steep. A little further we exit the forest where the open world of planina Krstenica opens before us. The again poorly visible trail turns slightly left here and first in moderate ascent then in slight descent brings us to the shepherds' huts on planina Krstenica.
