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:
A little before the mountain pasture on a parking lot cart track branches off left steeply upwards. After ten minutes we come to a crossing where we go left. We follow a wide cart track ahead all the way to the mountain hut Koča na Planini pri Jezeru. Mountain hut has a winter room. From the mountain hut, we descend few meters and we follow signposts for lakes Triglavska jezera. After a half an hour of walking on the wide path we come on the mountain pasture Dedno polje. Here stands a shepherd hut where we can buy some sour milk or something like that. This cottage is included in Bohinj cheese tour. Here on the mountain pasture Dedno polje we turn right towards the mountain hut Zasavska koča. Immediately above the mountain pasture, the path steeply ascends and already after a half an hour steepness decreases. The path is then ascending on the southern slopes of Slatna and Prvi Vogel. We soon come into a valley named Za Kopico. This valley we follow all the way to a saddle Vrata. We continue here ahead at first a little downwards. We cross slopes of Vršaki, where we cross wide but slightly exposed short ledge and then we come to a crossing where nam joins the path from lakes Triglavska jezera. Here we go right. Already after few minutes of ascent we are at the crossing where the path on Kanjavec branches off to the left and we continue straight. Here the steepness decreases and the path leads us on high mountain terrain over Hribarice. Soon another path branches off to the left on Kanjavec. We again continue straight. After Hribarice the path starts descending. We descend on the scree towards the mountain hut Tržaška koča na Doliču. Next follows also short light ascent and a shorter descent to the hut. Mountain hut also has a winter bivouac. From the mountain hut, we continue towards the west. Further, we walk on a mule track, which is relatively steeply ascending. After a half an hour of walking from the mountain hut terrain flattens and the path doesn't gain altitude anymore. Now we already see Triglav. We walk in the direction of Triglav. The path now for some time runs on karst terrain (carefully). We come to a crossing where joins the path from Vrata over Plemenice. Here we turn left on an unmarked path, which we follow approximately 10 minutes to Morbegna. Car - Dedno polje 1:30. Dedno polje - Vrata 2:30. Vrata - Dolič 1:15. Dolič - Morbegna 1:40.
