Planina Blato - Vodnikov Vršac (Vršac nad Zadnjico) (via valley Za Kopico)

Access to the starting point:
From the Gorenjska highway (exit Lesce), Železnikov or Soriška planina, take the Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Lake Bohinj. In Ribčev Laz, just before the lake, turn right towards Stara Fužina, where you first cross a bridge with a nice view of Bohinjsko jezero and pass the church of St. John the Baptist. When you arrive in Stara Fužina, at the crossroads by the chapel, turn sharp left onto the ascending road towards mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and the Voje 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 marked parking lot above mountain pasture Blato.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot, retrace your steps back along the road and then follow the ascending cart track in the direction of mountain pasture at Jezero, mountain pasture at Lazo and mountain pasture at Dedno polje. The path along cart track climbs quite steeply at first and after about 10 minutes leads to a marked crossroads where you continue along the left-hand, upper cart track (straight ahead mountain pasture at Lazo and a steep path up to mountain pasture at Jezero).
After less than 5 minutes of further ascent, at a right turn, a path with mountain pasture Vogar joins us from the left, and we continue to the right in the direction of mountain pasture at Jezero. We continue up the slightly less steep cart track, which lays completely flat for a short time, then climbs more steeply and leads us through an artificial "narrow". After the 'narrows', the cart track is laid down again, and the abovementioned steep path joins us behind two benches on the right. After the crossroads, the path turns left and leads to a pasture fence, beyond which you enter a small valley where the cold air usually stays. The path ahead gradually becomes steeper again, and then, as it flattens out, turns right. A little further on, a path joins us from the left, leading over or past mountain pasture Vodični vrh.
From this crossroads onwards, the forest begins to thin out, and when we finally leave the forest, we are already at mountain pasture near Jezero, where we are only a few steps away from the nearby mountain hut, which is only a short 10-step walk away.
From the mountain hut, continue slightly to the left and initially downhill to a marked crossroads, from which you take the right path in the direction of Dednega polje (left mountain pasture Viševnik and Pršivec). The wide path continues, first gently, 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 is a marked crossroads.
Here you leave the wide path leading to the hut by the Triglav Lakes. Continue to the right (direction Vratca Preval, Hribarice and Prehodavci), initially slightly downhill past shepherd's huts to the above-mentioned mountain pasture. On the other side of mountain pasture the path starts climbing again and leads to a less visible crossroads where the path branches off to the right to mountain pasture in Laz. Continue straight up the path, which gradually starts to climb steeper. The path, which takes us past the animal watering point (the watering point is dry), climbs mostly through coniferous forest (larch and spruce). After about half an hour's walk from mountain pasture Dedno polje, the world flattens out and a fine view opens up of the peaks that surround the initial part of the Za Kopica valley. The route continues up the southern slopes of Slatna and Prvego Vogel, then gradually passes into the central part of the Za Kopico valley. This valley is then followed all the way to the Vrata saddle, where the path from the Štapce pass (the ridge of Tičarica, Kopica and Zelnarica) joins us from the left. Here we continue on, initially slightly downhill, crossing the slopes of Vršaki, where we cross a wide but slightly exposed short shelf (not difficult) and then we reach a crossroads where the path from Hribarice joins us. Continue left down the path, which after a short descent leads us to a crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Prehodavcev (the crossroads is near the Green Lake). The way forward leads us to Rjavo jezero and behind it begins to climb towards Zasavska hut, which is located on a lookout hill.
From the hut, continue north-eastwards and initially descend slightly. The path then leads to a crossroads where a path to the right leads to drinking water.
Here the path begins to climb again and crosses the slopes above Jezero pod Vršacem. The path then climbs a little steeper and leads us to the saddle between Kanjavec and Vodnik's Vršac.
From the saddle, continue for a few more tens of metres along the marked path, which begins to descend. Leave the marked path and turn left onto a trackless path. Here you walk on an easy grassy slope, with some cairns to help you find your way. After a short climb, you reach the slopes on the south side of the summit and then climb up the scenic slope to the summit.
