Planina Blato - Pršivec

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 Lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we come to a crossroad, where we continue right over a bridge 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 (marked with signposts). The road brings us to a parking lot, where a road toll has to be paid or a parking fee (depending on this, if you drive ahead, or park). Toll in the year 2009 is 10 €. We drive on narrow, winding, partly asphalt, partly macadam road which is moderately ascending past the turn-off for Voje and then quite some time on mostly asphalt road to the next crossroad, where we turn sharply right from asphalt on a macadam road in the direction of the mountain pasture Blato (asphalt branch of the road straight runs on the mountain pasture Vogar). On the macadam road, we then drive short time to the parking lot above the mountain pasture Blato, which is at the end of the road, few 10 meters after notice board and signposts for mountain pastures Planina pri jezeru and Laz, which we see while driving on our left side.

Path description:
From the parking lot on the mountain pasture Blato we go on the road a little back to the signposts at steep, wide cart track which is for traffic closed with metal gate. Cart track, which at first steeply ascends, and is then moderately ascending, after 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.
At the mountain hut, we go left a little downwards to the signposts, where they point us to the left, steeply upwards on a grassy slope past some shepherd huts (direction mountain pasture Viševnik and Pršivec). The footpath is at the beginning barely visible and only a little higher above huts is already easier to follow, and then all the time well visible and very well-marked. The path then goes into the forest and the steepness soon decreases. Next follows a walk on mostly rocky footpath which is in parts ascends a little steeper, but mostly steepness is moderate. After approx 40 minutes of walking from the mountain pasture Planina pri jezeru we again come out of the forest. Here in front of us we already see mountain pasture Viševnik on which stands cottage Bregarjevo zavetišče, which is open in the time of summer season. Here we can quench thirst with various drinks, possible are also overnight stays.
From the mountain pasture, we continue left in the direction of Pršivec on the path which ascends diagonally towards the western part of the mountain pasture. After that, the path turns a little more left and starts ascending steeper, again on mostly rocky footpath, past some smaller abysses. The path then slightly descends and before it again starts ascending steeply towards the summit of Pršivec we get to Majska jama (abyss explored to depth 592 meters), entrance in which we see on our right side below blacken rocks. After steep ascent then after approximately 20 minutes of additional walking on the more and more panoramic slope we get to the top. The view from the peak is nice on all sides, and below us we can see Lake Bohinj.
