End of road on Vogar - Slatna (via Griva)

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, in the last part it is a 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.
From the mountain pasture Viševnik we continue slightly left (sharply left Pršivec, left lake Črno jezero, slightly right mountain pasture Planina pri Jezeru past Krištofojca, right mountain pasture Planina pri Jezeru) on the path in the direction of the mountain pasture Ovčarija and lakes Triglavska jezera. The path ahead at first ascends diagonally towards the left over steeper slope, and then it gradually flattens and brings us in more plateau terrain. We continue southwest from Griva (1758 meters) for some time without large changes in altitude. A little further, more precisely at signposts in the direction of straight continues a footpath which leads towards the mountain pasture Dedno polje, and sharp to the left continues a marked path towards the mountain pasture Ovčarija.
At the mentioned crossing, we continue straight, and the path ahead leads us on a little less beaten footpath which continues without large changes in altitude. After a little less than 15 minutes of additional walking, we reach a marked path which leads from the mountain pasture Dedno polje towards the mountain pasture Ovčarija, and the mentioned path we follow to the right. Further follows few minutes of moderate descent and the path which leads us through mostly thin forest, brings us to the mountain pasture Dedno polje, where there are several shepherd huts and a cheese cottage.
From the marked crossing on the mountain pasture, we continue left in the direction of saddle Vratca, Hribarice and Prehodavci (straight mountain hut Koča na planini pri Jezeru) at first slightly downwards and past the shepherd huts. On the other side of the mountain pasture, the path again starts ascending and it brings us to a less noticeable crossing, where the path branches off to the right on the mountain pasture Planina v Lazu.
We continue straight upwards, on the path which gradually becomes steeper. The path which leads us past a watering-place for animals (watering place is dry) is ascending mostly through a conifer forest (larches and spruces). After approximately half an hour of walking from the mountain pasture Dedno polje, terrain flattens and a nice view opens up on peaks which surround the initial part of the valley Za Kopico. After few light strides we will notice a footpath which from the marked path branches off to the right (by the crossing are usually cairns) and it ascends diagonally on the scree upwards. The path from scree passes on a grassy slope, after which we step on a smaller indistinct saddle. Here, the footpath for a short time vanishes, but in good weather, we won't have problems with orientation. The path ahead is ascending through more and more narrow valley, that runs between Prvi Vogel on the left and Slatna on the right. This occasionally quite steep path, we then follow to the saddle between the both mentioned peaks. Here, the footpath vanishes completely, and we continue right, where on undemanding and with grass vegetated upper slope in 10 minutes we reach the peak of panoramic and ample Slatna.
The starting point - Planina Viševnik 1:20, Planina Viševnik - Planina Dedno polje 55 minutes, Planina Dedno polje - Slatna 1:30.
