Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. We continue driving towards the Lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we come to the crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Stara Fužina. In Stara Fužina at the crossroad at the chapel, we turn sharply left on an ascending road in the direction of the mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and valley Voje. The road ahead brings us to the spot, where the road toll or parking fee has to be paid, we follow it forward to the next crossroad, where we continue left (right Voje). The road we then follow to the next crossroad (we drive for quite some time), where we continue straight (sharply right mountain pasture Planina Blato). Then we follow the road past the mountain pasture Vogar and we drive there to the parking lot at the end of the road.
From the spot, where a road toll has to be paid to the starting point is a little less than 11 km of driving, last half or a little less is macadam road.
Path description:
By the parking lot we notice signs for mountain pasture Planina Viševnik, which point us to the right on a wide and at first also quite a steep logging trail. After few minutes of a steep ascent cart track flattens, and then continues without large changes in altitude still through the forest. When the logging trail turns to the right, we continue straight on a marked footpath, and at first, it is for a short time ascending gently. When the path becomes steeper we will notice on the left side a cairn and by it path which leads on Pršivec (path later joins the normal path from Vogar), and we continue straight on a steep mountain path. The path ahead is for some time still steeply ascending through the forest, after that for some time flattens and it brings us to abyss Brezno pri Gamsovi glavici (abyss is explored to depth 817 meters). Above the abyss, the path passes into indistinct and in the upper part also steeper small valley, through which we ascend on a smaller saddle between Pršivec (1761 meters) on the left and Gornji Viševnik (17022 meters) on the right. Here the path entirely flattens, and then it for some time continues through pastures of Gornji Viševnik. On the other side, the path returns into the forest and in few minutes of descent brings us to the mountain pasture Planina Viševnik, in the middle of which stands cottage Bregarjevo zavetišče.
