Planina Blato - Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (via Štapce)

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 in front of mountain pasture Blato.

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.
Continue straight ahead towards the hut at Triglav Lakes (right valley Za Kopica) along the path, which continues to climb gently to moderately through mostly sparse forest. The path from which we open a beautiful view of the Lower Bohinj Mountains then descends and leads us to mountain pasture Ovčarija, where the next crossroads. Continue along the right-hand path in the direction of the hut by the Triglav Lakes over Štapce (straight path over Prode). The way forward initially climbs moderately through a rare larch forest, then climbs steeply and leads us over lane of dwarf pines to the scenic Štapce.
Here we continue left down towards the Double Lake, which is clearly visible below us (Tičarica on the right). The trail starts to descend steeply from Štapce on a perfectly protected path (the path is guarded by a rope ladder and in the lower part by a ladder). After less than 5 minutes of descent, the trail turns into a scree slope and then descends to the Double Lake, where we continue to the right towards the hut (left path over Prode and Black Lake). The gently sloping trail then bypasses the lake on the right and quickly leads us to the hut at the Tičičaritsa Triglav Lakes.
At the hut, head in the direction Triglav straight ahead. Just a few metres from the hut, go around the artificial lake Močivec, which is the source of drinking water at the hut. The path then climbs moderately up the valley of the Triglav Lakes. During the ascent, you can admire the walls of Tičarice and Kopica on the right, while to the left you can admire the views towards the Špičja ridge. The way forward leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue slightly to the right along the path in the direction of Prehodavci and Triglav (Veliko Špičje on the left). The forest along the way is becoming increasingly sparse and the path leads us to the largest Triglav lake, Ledvice. The trail bypasses the lake on the right side over extensive scree, which is slowly but steadily filling in the lake. A beautiful high-mountain path then leads to the next Zeleno jezero, which has a characteristic green colour.
From Zeleno jezero, continue along the left-hand path in the direction of Zasavska hut (right Hribarice), which soon splits into two parts. Continue along the left path, which ascends directly towards Zasavska hut (the right path leads past Rjavo jezero) and after a few minutes leads us to an indistinct ridge (the border between Primorska and Gorenjska). Here, continue to the right (left Veliko Špičje, straight down Trenta) along the path, which leads us past the winter bivouac in a few minutes of easy walking to Zasavska hut na Prehodavci.
