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 on the mountain pasture Blato we go on the road a little back to the signposts at a cart track. Here we go on a cart track which at first steeply ascends and then it is moderately ascending and in ten minutes of walking, it brings us to a crossing, where we go left (straight mountain pasture Planina v Lazu). We then follow the cart track through the forest all the way to cottages on the mountain pasture Planina pri jezeru. Here a view opens up on surrounding hills. We bypass the mountain hut on the left side and the path in a gentle descent brings us to a crossing, where we continue straight on a cart track (left mountain pasture Viševnik). Mostly rocky cart track which runs on an indistinct small valley few times steeply ascends and after a half an hour of walking from the mountain pasture Planina pri Jezeru brings us to a mountain pasture Dedno polje, where we come to the next crossing.
We continue in the direction towards the mountain pasture Ovčarija and after approximately half an hour of walking, we come to a poorly visible crossroad, where the path which runs direct to shepherd huts on the mountain pasture Ovčarija branches off to the left. A little after that crossroad we will on the right side of the path notice a smaller meadow. Here we leave the marked path and go right. By the path there is also a smaller cairn. If we don't find the turn off, it is possible to continue on a marked path towards Mala Tičarica and then at foot of the Mala Tičarica descend right in the valley between Bela Glava and Tičarica. If we successfully found the turn off, we go through a meadow and then in a thin forest. Here we walk mostly on pathless terrain, only on some spots we walk on a poorly visible footpath. When the forest ends, we continue on a narrow small valley, which isn't covered with dwarf pines. This small valley nicely leads us past dwarf pines and it brings us to a meadow between Bela Glava and Mala Tičarica. We continue through a meadow towards the north and a little before the end of a meadow we will notice sharply right through dwarf pines a narrow path. At the beginning we try to stick to nortwestern slopes of the mountain, after that a little below the summit we cross western slopes and we reach the peak from the south side. Bela Glava is from all sides covered with dwarf pines and rarely anyone succeeds to get through a labyrinth system without climbing through dwarf pines.
