Access to starting point:
We drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, and then we continue driving in the direction of the lake Bohinj. In Ribčev Laz from a crossroad at the beginning of the lake Bohinj we continue right in the direction of Srednja vas, Studor and Stara Fužina. The road then leads us over a bridge and past the church of St. John the Baptist, few 100 meters further and we already get to Stara Fužina. In Stara Fužini at first we drive past the boarding house Lipa, apartments Triglav, bus stop, Mercator store, and then we get to a crossroad, by a chapel, where we continue on the left road in the direction of the parking lot, Korita Mostnice, Hudičevega most and mountain paths on the mountain pasture Blato and Vogar and the path into a valley Voje. From the crossroad some ascending follows, when the settlement ends, we get to payable parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue right in the direction of Mostnica Gorge, where we walk on a wide path which in few minutes brings us to the bridge Hudičev most, from which we can already get the first view into a gorge. At the bridge, we step on a worse road which we follow to the left, and there we walk only for a short time because signs for gorge point us to the right on a well-settled tourist path. The path ahead quickly brings us to the main part of the gorge, by which we are then gently ascending. During the ascent by the gorge, we to sign "Slonček" (Slonček is a rock which was carved by water and has a shape of an elephant). The path ahead is for some time ascending by Mostnica, and then turns a little towards the left, where after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a forest road which leads towards the gable of the valley Voje. We follow the road to the right, and it quickly brings us to the mountain hut Planinska koča na Vojah (to here we can also come with a car, this shortens the path for approximately 45 minutes).
From the mountain hut, we continue on a gently sloping macadam road which then leads us by the edge of extensive pastures of valley Voje. A little further, the road splits into two parts, and we can continue both on the left road (direction Velo polje) or on few minutes longer right road which at the gable of a valley brings us to the waterfall Mostnica.
If we visited the waterfall, we return few meters back, and then over a small bridge, we join "left" a little shorter path. The path ahead passes into a dense forest, where at first it ascends above the waterfall, and then gradually turns to the left, where it is ascending on relatively steep slopes. After approximately one hour ascent through the forest, the path turns right and after few minutes of a diagonal ascent brings us out of the forest on the mountain pasture Spodnja Grintovica, where there is trough with water (because of possible frost we can open a tap only in the summer months).
The path ahead returns into the forest, where it again starts ascending steeper. A considerably monotonous path then brings us into a small indistinct valley (Jurjevčeva vrtača), where it gradually flattens. Further, the forest becomes a little thinner, and the path turns slightly towards the right, where after few minutes of additional walking, we get to a poorly marked crossing.
We continue on the right path (left mountain pasture Planina pot Mišelj vrhom, Malo polje and Velo polje), which again starts considerably ascending. Further, we are ascending by an indistinct ridge of a less known peak Na Zagonu (1824 meters), and then the path flattens and in few steps of additional walking brings us to the spot, where we join the significantly better beaten path from Pokljuka.
We go in the direction of Vodnikov dom and we continue on a gently sloping path, which crosses slopes of Tosc (2275 meters). The path ahead crosses also some smaller scree (in the early summer are here still possible snow fields), then quickly brings us to the mountain hut Vodnikov dom na Velem polju.
From the hut, we continue straight in the direction of Triglav (right upward Bohinjska vratca).
Further, we are moderately ascending and we cross slopes below Vernar (2225 meters). We soon run into the first steel cable, which helps us to overcome a short ledge. The path ahead is ascending on the scree and it brings us to a steep rocky jump. A well-secured path on steep stairs brings us to the top of that jump. Next follows few meters of crossing on a steep slope, and then the path brings us on ample slopes near the saddle Konjski preval, which we reach after a short descent.
From Konjski preval we continue in the direction of Kredarica and Staničev dom (left - Planika, right - Krma), and a wide path towards Kredarica we follow only few steps, after that caption Staničev dom on rock points us slightly to the right on easy to follow, but poorly beaten footpath. The path ahead with some shorter ascents and descents crosses the slopes towards the right, and crosses some gullies, which in the early summer can still be under the snow. The path ahead crosses a lane of dwarf pines, and then passes on a grassy slope on which we diagonally ascend. The path after that flattens and only a little further crosses a path which leads from Krma through Kalvarija on Kredarica.
We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Staničev dom (sign on rock) and we continue the ascent on a moderately steep path, which is getting closer to scree below Rž. On a pleasant path over Ržki podi, we get to on the already mentioned scree, through which we start ascending diagonally. When we get on the other side of the scree, the path turns slightly left and starts ascending steeply on a rugged rocks. The steepness quickly decreases and after few minutes of additional walking, we join the path which leads from Krma.
We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Staničev dom and in few minutes of a moderate ascent we get on an indistinct ridge, where the marked path on Rjavina branches off to the right. We continue straight and we follow the path which starts moderately descending, with a view on Triglav, Begunjski vrh and Visoka Vrbanova špica, to the mountain hut Dom Valentina Staniča pod Triglavom, which we reach after approximately 10 minutes of a descent.
The starting point - Koča na Vojah 45 minutes, Koča na Vojah - Spodnja Grintovica 2:00, Spodnja Grintovica - Vodnikov dom 2:00, Vodnikov dom - Staničev dom 3:00.
