Planina Blato - Planina Zgornja Grintovica

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, we continue on a macadam road which past a gate in few steps brings us to a right turn. On the right side of the mentioned turn, we will notice the beginning of the hunting path, which with the help of steel cables leads over a shorter very steep slope. The path soon passes into the forest and turns slightly towards the right, where we step on a wide rough cart track (to here possible also on the road, or higher cart track). We follow the cart track to the right (straight continues hunting path towards the mountain pasture Krstenica), and for some time it is steeply ascending. Cart track, from which some dead-end branches branch off, we follow to a little bigger and partly marked crossing, where on one of the trees we notice a caption Grintovica.
Here we leave a wide cart track and we continue on the right a little narrower, which is for some time gently ascending. The path ahead few times slightly descends, and then we notice signs for Grintovica, which point us to the right into a dense forest (here we leave worse cart track). In the forest footpath entirely vanishes, and we continue in the same direction, where we come to a large number of the fallen trees. Here we cross a marked path which leads from the valley Voje towards the mountain pasture Krstenica (because of the fallen trees is crossing almost unnoticeable, but we have to be careful, to not continue on a marked path). On the other side of a marked path we cross a smaller clearing, and the path after it returns into the forest and gradually starts steeply descending. After a short steep descent path flattens, and it brings us on steep slopes, on which we are mostly diagonally descending. During the crossing we walk past few shorter slightly exposed slopes, after that slope flattens, and the path continues with some shorter ascents and descents. A little further, we step out of the forest, where we step on the south part of the mountain pasture Zgornja Grintovica, where we notice the first wooden cottages. The path ahead crosses a lane of a forest and it brings us to a trough with water, by which stands cottage Kefova koča. We still continue, again through a lane of a forest and we follow the path to the upper part of the mountain pasture, where we also notice some old shepherd huts.
