Planina Blato - Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (via Prodi)

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 before the mountain pasture Blato.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot on the mountain pasture Blato we return few 10 strides back, and then we go on a wide and at first also quite a steep cart track in the direction of Planina pri Jezeru. After 10 minutes of relatively steep ascent, we come at the marked crossing, where we continue on the left steep cart track (straight mountain pasture Planina v Lazu), and a little higher joins also the marked path from the mountain pasture Planina Vogar. We continue on a wide, partly rocky cart track which higher for some time flattens, and then it steeply ascends through a smaller carved passage. Further, the path again flattens and then crosses steep slopes (in snow and ice dangerous for slipping). Only a little further, the path turns sharply to the left and it brings us in a cold small valley named Pungrat, where we cross an abandoned grazing fence. The path ahead again starts ascending steeper, and then turns to the right and entirely flattens. Only few meters ahead from the left joins the path from the mountain pasture Vodični vrh, and we continue straight and after 5 minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain pasture Planina pri Jezeru, in the middle of which stands a mountain hut.
From the mountain hut, we continue slightly left and at first downwards to a marked crossing, from which we go on the right path in the direction of the mountain pasture Dedno polje (left mountain pasture Viševnik and Pršivec). Still a wide path is at first gently, and then moderately to steeply ascending through a thin spruce forest. Higher, the path over Krištofojca branches off to the left, which leads towards the mountain pasture Viševnik, and we still continue on a wide path, which higher flattens a little and then turns slightly to the right, where in front of us we notice mountain pasture Dedno polje. Here the path turns to the left and after few additional strides, it brings us to the mountain pasture Dedno polje, by the edge of which there is a marked crossing.
We continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (right valley Za Kopico) on the path which is further gently to moderately ascending through mostly a thin forest. The path from which a nice view opens up on the mountain chain Spodnje Bohinjske gore then descends and brings us on a mountain pasture Ovčarija, where there is the next crossing.
Here we continue slightly left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (over Prodi) on the path which after few additional minutes brings us to a nice vantage point (a view on Spodnje Bohinjske gore). Here the path turns sharply right and in a moderate descends crosses steep grassy slopes. Further, the path goes into the forest and for a short time starts ascending steeper. The steepness then decreases and the path from a dense forest brings us to a crossing, where from the left joins the path from the lake Črno jezero. We continue straight on the path which is slightly ascending and after few minutes brings us to the spot, where in front of us, we notice lake Dvojno jezero. The path ahead slightly descends to the lake and then continues on the right side. Here we come to a crossing, where right upward, the path to Tičarica branches off. We continue on the bottom path, which after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih, which we see in front of us.
At the mountain hut, we go in the direction of Triglav straight ahead. Only few meters from the mountain hut, we bypass artificial lake Močivec, which is a source of drinking water at the mountain hut. The path is then moderately ascending through the valley Dolina Triglavskih jezer upwards. During the ascent, we can admire walls of Tičarica and Kopica on the right, and on the left views opening up towards the ridge of Špičje. The path ahead brings us to the next crossing, where we continue slightly right on the path in the direction of Prehodavci and Triglav (left Veliko Špičje). Forest by the path becoming thinner and the path brings us to largest Triglav lake Ledvica. The path bypasses the lake on the right side over extensive scree, which slowly but persistently filling up the lake. Nice high mountain path then brings us to the next lake Zeleno jezero, which has a characteristic green color.
From the lake Zeleno jezero we continue on the left path in the direction of the mountain hut Zasavska koča (right Hribarice), and it soon splits into two parts. We continue on the left, which ascends direct towards the mountain hut Zasavska koča (and the right path leads past the lake Rjavo jezero) and after few minutes it brings us to an indistinct ridge (border between Primorska and Gorenjska). Here we continue right (left Veliko Špičje, straight downwards Trenta) on the path which past the winter bivouac in few minutes of easy walking it brings us to the mountain hut Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih.
