Planina Blato - Prvi Vogel

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.
Here we leave a wide path which leads towards the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih. We continue right (direction saddle Vratca, Hribarice and Prehodavci) at first slightly downwards past the shepherd huts on the mentioned mountain pasture. On the other side of the mountain pasture, the path again starts ascending and it brings us to a less noticeable crossing, where the path on the mountain pasture Planina v Lazu branches off to the right. We continue straight upwards on the path which gradually starts ascending steeper. The path which leads us past a watering-place for animals (watering place is dry) is ascending mostly through a conifer forest (larches and spruces). After approximately half an hour of walking from the mountain pasture Dedno polje terrain flattens and a nice view opens up on peaks, which surround the initial part of the valley Za Kopico. The path ahead is ascending on the southern slopes of Slatna and later slopes of Prvi Vogel.
When we get to the southern slope of Prvi Vogel, we leave the marked path and go right on pathless terrain. We look for area, where there isn't too much dwarf pines and we start ascending steeply. When we get to the ridge of the secondary peak, we already see the peak of Prvi Vogel. From the secondary peak, we descend few meters and follows only the last quite steep ascent on the southern slope towards the summit.

On the way: Koča na Planini pri Jezeru mountain hut (1453m), Planina Dedno Polje (1560m)
