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 passes into the forest and turns slightly to the right, where it soon crosses the wide cart track (you can also follow the road to here, or the higher cart track). Continue along a pleasant forest path, which climbs parallel to a relatively steep track. Higher up, the path curves to the left, and a track joins from the right, leaving the track about 15 minutes above mountain pasture Blato.
The hunting trail continues through the forest with a few short steep climbs and after a good hour's walk leads us to a small hunting lodge on the left side of the trail. Here, a minute-long path branches off to the left to a viewpoint where we can see mountain pasture Blato below us.
From the hunting lodge onwards, the path soon leads us out of the forest, where we rejoin the cart track. It is only a good five-minute walk to mountain pasture Krstenica, where we have a beautiful view of Ogradi, Krn and the Lower Bohinj Mountains.
From mountain pasture continue along the path, which is initially slightly less visible on the west (left) side of mountain pasture. After only a few dozen metres, several smaller paths merge into one clearly visible path. The path continues with a few short ascents and descents, crossing the slopes of the Malá and Jezerski Stog. After about half an hour's walk from Planina Krstenica, the path leads to the grassy world of the abandoned Mountain pasture Jezerce.
At mountain pasture continue straight on and you will soon come to an unmarked crossroads where the marked path turns right. At this crossroads we turn slightly left and continue along the path which leads further down the valley. Soon we are at the crossroads again, this time we turn left onto a less well-trodden track, and to the right the path leads to Mišeljski Preval.
The trail continues westwards and climbs steep terrain covered with dwarf pines. The poorly trodden path, which is also slightly damaged by torrents in some places, then leads to Lazovški preval where we join the marked path for a short time.
At Lazovški preval you can continue right on the marked path for a short distance, then leave the marked path at the right turn and head off to the trackless area to the north-west (towards Debele Peak). Continue up the trackless area until you reach the slopes below the north face of Debeli vrh. Continue up the trackless area until you reach the slopes below the north face of Debeli vrh. Here you need to be a bit careful, as there are some potholes along the way. Follow the moguls across the slopes below the north face of Debeli vrh and start descending on fairly steep terrain. After descending, turn right (northwards), cross the valley and then start to climb below the western slopes of Vrh Hribaric (2388m). Following the terrain marked cairns, continue to climb gently in a northwards direction until you reach the saddle between the top of Hribarice and Vršaki.
From the saddle continue straight towards Kanjavac. When you join the marked trail, continue slightly to the left and then follow the marked (western) trail to Kanjavec. The path climbs quite steeply and follows an undistinguished valley between the eastern and western peaks. At the saddle between the two peaks, leave the marked trail and head left, followed by a short climb to the western summit of Kanjavec.
From the summit, continue westwards along a very scenic ridge, initially descending slightly. Continue walking along the easy ridge and climb to the top of Teme.
From Temena, continue walking westwards and after a short descent and ascent, reach the summit of Poprovec.
