Planina Blato - Ogradi (via Planina Krstenica)

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.
On the mountain pasture Krstenica we reach also a marked path which leads from Stara Fužina towards the saddle Jezerski preval, and on the mentioned path we walk to the western part of the mountain pasture, where we notice signs for mountain pasture Planina v Lazu. We continue in the direction of the mentioned mountain pasture and at first, we start descending towards the valley, which separates Ogradi from the ridge of Stogi. When the descent ends the path leads us through occasionally more dense forest, and in doing so at first crosses a valley, and then also slopes by the foot of Ogradi towards the east. A little further, the path starts considerably ascending and turns right. Ascent doesn't last long, because the path quickly flattens. Next follows few minutes walk with gentle ascents and descents, and then we get to a crossing, by which usually a cairn is situated.
We continue here sharply right (straight mountain pasture Planina v Lazu) on an unmarked path which leads towards the summit of Ogradi.
Clearly visible, but unmarked path ahead steeply ascends and in few minutes brings us to the ruins of abandoned mountain pasture on the southern slopes of Ogradi. Here the path turns left, and the steepness gradually decreases. Ahead we are ascending on occasionally little poorly visible footpath which is ascending on a grassy slope of the mountain. The increasingly panoramic path then again a little steeper ascends and in few additional minutes of walking, it brings us to the summit.
