Stara Fužina - Planina Zgornja Grintovica

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 Voje valley. The road then takes us to the toll booth area, where we park at the organized paid parking lot.

Route description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, signs for the Mostnica gorges and waterfall direct us right onto a wide path, along which we arrive at Hudičev most in a few minutes. Continue straight ahead (right across the Uskovnica bridge via planina Blatce and Stara Fužina), a little further, at the information board for the Mostnica gorges, we go slightly right. At the next junction, go slightly right again (left Vogar, also possible to Voje), then we reach the place where they collect the fee for maintaining the path through the Mostnica gorges (adult entrance fee was 3 euros in June 2018).
At the mentioned place, the path splits, and we choose the left or right path. Both paths continue near the gorges (there is a side path from the right path to see the elephant, a natural feature), later they merge into one path, along which we ascend to the gravel road. Follow the road to the right, along which we quickly reach Planinska koča na Vojah.
Continue along the road that runs through the Voje valley, following the signs for the Mostnica waterfall. A little further, the road splits, and we can continue left along the slightly shorter road with signs for Velo polje, or right along the slightly longer path that leads past the Mostnica waterfall.
Near the waterfall, at the head of the Voje valley, both paths merge, and we follow the marked path towards Triglav and Vodnikov dom na Velem polju.
The fairly wide path further enters dense forest and ascends above the waterfall, which we can partially see below the path, then the path turns left and ascends in a few serpentines to the west, leading us along relatively steep slopes. At an altitude of approximately 1150 meters, the path levels out, a little further it takes us out of the forest to planina Spodnja Grintovica, where there is a water trough that is open only in the summer months.
On the planina, we notice the inscription "Pl. Grintovica", which directs us left to the water trough (straight Triglav and Velo polje), but it is better to continue along the left edge of the planina to the nearby cairn, where we notice the continuation of the path towards planina Zgornja Grintovica. Here the path turns sharply left, just a few tens of meters further we join the path that leads past the aforementioned water trough. We continue along the wide path, which after a little more than ten minutes of further walking takes us out of the forest to planina Zgornja Grintovica.
