Planina Blato - Krsteniški Stog (hunting path)

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). Then we follow the road to the next crossroad (we drive for quite some time), where we turn sharply right in the direction of the mountain pasture Blato (straight mountain pasture Vogar). We follow this road to the parking lot above the mountain pasture Planina Blato.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which past a gate in few steps brings us to a right turn. On the right side of the mentioned turn, we will notice the beginning of the hunting path, which with the help of steel cables leads over a shorter very steep slope. The path soon passes into the forest and turns slightly towards the right, where soon crosses a wide cart track (to here possible also on the road, or higher cart track). Further, we are ascending on a pleasant forest path, which is ascending parallel with a relatively steep cart track. Higher, the path turns to the left, and from the right joins the footpath which leaves the cart track approximately 15 minutes above the mountain pasture Blato.
The hunting path further continues through the forest with some shorter steep ascents and after a good hour of walking, it brings us to a smaller hunting cottage on the left side of the path. Here a minute long path to the vantage point branches off to the left, where below us we can notice a mountain pasture Blato.
From the hunting cottage ahead, the path soon brings us out of the forest, where we again join the cart track. Next follows only a good five minutes of walking to the mountain pasture Krstenica, where a beautiful view opens up on Ogradi, Krn and Spodnje Bohinjske gore.
From the shepherd huts we walk on the eastern side of the mountain pasture, and then we continue the ascent on a panoramic grassy ridge, which is moderately rising towards the north. On the upper part of the mountain pasture we will again step on a well visible footpath which right before steep slopes of Krsteniški Stog turns right. The path ahead crosses smaller scree, and then in a moderate ascent continues over panoramic and partly grassy slopes, from which a nice view is opening up on Tosc and valley Voje. Higher, the path is turnning more and more to the left, so that we soon pass over on the northern slopes, and those are occasionally also a little steeper, but not exposed. When we step on the northern side of Krsteniški Stog, a nice view opens up also on Jezerski Stog and Triglav, and a moderately steep path we follow to the main ridge of Stogi, and we reach it a little south from the saddle between Krsteniški and Jezerski Stog. When we step on a ridge we go left and we continue the ascent on at first a poorly visible footpath which is further ascending through a lane of dwarf pines. The path ahead turns slightly towards the left, and after a short steep ascent brings us on a ridge, where we quickly step on a secondary peak of Krsteniški Stog. A gentle descent follows and then a gentle ascent to the nearby peak on a very panoramic and on some spots slightly exposed ridge.
