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. We follow this road to a parking lot, where a road toll or a parking fee has to be paid.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which continues towards the mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and valley Voje. At first relatively steep road quickly flattens, and then it brings us to religious symbol, by which there is marked crossing.
At the religious symbol, we leave the asphalt road and we continue left in the direction of Vogar and Pršivec. Further, we at first diagonally ascend over panoramic pasture, and then the path passes into the forest, through which it is ascending on a rocky cart track. In some long zig-zags we ascend a level higher, where the path flattens a little. Only a little further, we notice signs for NOB monument, which is situated by nice viewpoint and paragliding airfield, from which a nice view opens up on Lake Bohinj, Rudnica and mountain chain Spodnje Bohinjske gore.
From the viewpoint, we return on a marked path, and it quickly brings us on the eastern edge of the mountain pasture Spodnji Vogar. The path ahead is mostly ascending gently through meadows, and we notice by the path larger number of former shepherd huts, which are today mostly converted into a holiday cottages. This path which continues to ascend gently, we follow to the mountain hut Kosijev dom na Vogarju, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
We continue here ahead on a cart track in the direction of Pršivec. Cart track in few minutes brings us to a crossing, where we go left on the bottom cart track. We follow this cart track ahead in the forest, where we further stick to direction of Pršivec. Because cart track has quite a few crossings be careful, that we don't miss the blazes towards Pršivec. Cart track on which we walk mostly only crosses slopes in a gentle ascent and only rarely steeply ascends. Cart track then brings us to a crossing, where from the right side joins the path from the end of the road on Vogar.
We continue straight on a cart track which is still moderately, only occasionally a little steeper ascending. A little higher, the cart track changes into in parts a very steep footpath which is mostly ascending through a dense spruce forest. Higher the forest is becoming thinner, and to spruces more often larches are joining, which in the autumn with their colors fascinate almost every mountaineer.
And still steep path gradually passes on a panoramic ridge on which we are then ascending. In wet and snow is on this part dangerous for slipping. The path which offers nice views on Spodnje Bohinjske gore and the main Julian Alps flattens a little and among individual trees quickly brings us on a panoramic peak.
The starting point - Vogar 1:15, Vogar - end of the road 1:00, end of the road - Pršivec 1:30.
