Planina Blato - Visoka glava

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 continues to the place where the toll 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.
In winter, the road is often impassable, which lengthens the journey by between half an hour and an hour and a half (depending, of course, on where you leave the car).

Path description:
From the marked parking lot at mountain pasture Blato go back a few 10 steps, then take the wide and initially quite steep cart track in the direction of mountain pasture at Jezero. After 10 minutes of relatively steep ascent, you reach a marked crossroads where you continue along the left steep cart track (straight mountain pasture in Laz), only to be joined a little higher by the marked path with mountain pasture Vogar. Continue along the wide, partly stony cart track, which is crossable at a higher level and then climbs steeply through a small hairpin bend. Just ahead, the path bends sharply to the left and leads into a cold valley called Pungrat, where it crosses an abandoned pasture fence. The path ahead starts to climb steeply again, then turns to the right and lays completely flat. Just a few metres further on, we join the path with mountain pasture Vodični vrh on our left, and we continue straight on and after 5 minutes of further walking we arrive at mountain pasture near Jezero, in the middle of which stands a mountain hut.
From the mountain hut, continue slightly to the left and initially downhill to a marked crossroads, from which take the right path in the direction of Dednega polje (to the left mountain pasture Viševnik and Pršivec). The wide path continues, first gently and then climbing moderately to steeply through a sparse spruce forest. Higher up, a path branches off to the left across Krištofojca, leading towards mountain pasture Viševnik, and we continue along the wide path, which gently slopes upwards and then turns slightly to the right, where we see mountain pasture Dedno polje ahead. Here the path turns to the left and after a few further steps leads to mountain pasture Dedno polje, at the edge of which there is a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads at mountain pasture Dedno polje, continue straight on in the direction of Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih, and we follow the marked path for about 10 minutes, or until we reach a place where a beautiful passage opens up to our right into an initially small and unmarked valley. We continue our ascent on a completely trackless path, keeping to the smaller valley between Kovačičeva glava on the right and the less distinct peak Visoka glava on the left. The "path" then climbs steeply and the valley flattens out, leading to a more difficult to traverse world covered in dwarf pines. During the dwarf pines we look for passages, but we keep slightly to the left all the time, where we get higher up on a very scenic and folded ridge. We climb the ridge, which is still covered with dwarf pines, to the top, where there are a few individual larch trees.
