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:
At the beginning of the parking lot the signs for gorge and waterfall Mostnice point us to the right on a wide path, on which in few minutes we get to Hudičev most (devil's bridge). We continue straight (right over the bridge Uskovnica through mountain pasture Blatce and Stara Fužina), a little further, at the information board for gorge Korita Mostnice we go slightly right. At the next crossing, we go once again slightly right (left Vogar, possible also in Voje), and then we get to the spot, where a fee for path maintenance has to be paid (entrance fee for adults was in June 2018, 3 eur).
On the mentioned spot path splits, and we choose the left or right. Both paths further run near the gorge (by the right path is a turn-off to see an elephant), and later they join into one path, on which we ascend to a macadam road. We follow the road to the right, and then we quickly get to the mountain hut Planinska koča on Vojah.
We continue on the road which continues through the valley Voje, and we follow the signs for waterfall Mostnice. A little further, the road splits, mi choose the right path in the direction towards Uskovnica, waterfall Mostnice and a snack bar Slap (left Triglav, Velo polje and pa also a waterfall Mostnice).
The path ahead leads us over a small bridge and past a sign, and then we already get to the upper part of the valley Voje, where the path leads through meadows and past few cottages. Valley then starts to narrow, and the path brings us to a snack bar Slap Voje, from where we continue straight towards the waterfall. Few strides ahead from the left joins the second path which leads towards a waterfall, and we continue straight to the next crossing.
This time we continue right in the direction of Uskovnica (straight waterfall Mostnice 3 minutes) and start ascending through the forest, on a path, which is becoming steeper and steeper, and is mostly ascending diagonally towards the right. Higher, we cross a little bigger torrent, and the steepness gradually starts decreasing. When a little further we step out of the forest, on the bottom side we bypass first cottage on Uskovnica, and the path after that returns into the forest, through which is for some time ascending gently towards the right. Further, we reach a macadam road, by which there are the cottages on Uskovnica more frequent, and at the crossroads, we follow the blazes or signs for mountain hut Koča na Uskovnici. With nice views on Julian Alps, then in a few shorter ascents and descents and some crossroads, we reach the mountain hut Koča na Uskovnici.
The starting point - Koča na Vojah 45 minutes, Koča na Vojah - snack bar Slap Voje 30 minutes, snack bar Slap Voje - waterfall Mostnice 5 minutes, waterfall Mostnice - Koča na Uskovnici 1:40.
