Stara Fužina - Krsteniški Stog

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 right in the direction of gorge Korita Mostnice on a wide path, on which in few minutes we get to Hudičev most (devil's bridge), from which we can already get a first look into the gorge. At the bridge, we step on a rough road which we follow to the left, and there we walk only for a short time because then signs for gorge point us to the right on a well-settled tourist path. The path ahead soon brings us to the main part of the gorge, by which we are then gently ascending. During the ascent by the gorge, we run into signs "Slonček" (a rock, which is carved by water in the shape of an elephant - worth seeing). The path ahead is for some time ascending by Mostnica, and then turns a little towards the left, where after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a forest road which leads towards the gable of the valley Voje. We follow the road to the right, and it quickly brings us to NOB monument (to here also possible with a car, this shortens the path for approximately 45 minutes).
At the monument, we leave the road and we continue left on a gentle cart track, and it quickly brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue on the left marked path. We continue the ascent on a moderately steep path, which after a short ascent brings us on a ridge covered with a forest. Here the path turns to the right and for some time flattens. A little further, we will by the path notice a smaller cross, and from here on the path is becoming steeper and steeper.
Further for quite some time, we are steeply ascending through a dense forest. At the altitude approximately 1300 meters, the path flattens, and which some altitude meters higher brings us to the spot, where we cross an unmarked path mountain pasture Blato - mountain pasture Zgornja Grintovica. Crossing of the mentioned path is almost unnoticeable, because right on this part there's many fallen trees, which cover both paths.
Here we continue in the same direction and soon we again step on an easy to follow, but poorly marked path. The path ahead is for some time ascending through a dense forest and then it is slowly getting closer to the nearby mountain pasture. Higher the forest is becoming thinner, and the path less and less steep. A little further, we step out of the forest, where in front of us an unvegetated terrain of the mountain pasture Krstenica opens up. Again poorly visible footpath, here turns slightly towards the left and at first in a moderate ascent, and then in a gentle descent brings us to shepherd huts on the mountain pasture Krstenica.
From the shepherd huts we return a little towards the east, and then we continue the ascent on a panoramic grassy ridge, which is moderately rising towards the north. On the upper part of the mountain pasture we will again step on a well visible footpath which right before steep slopes of Krsteniški Stog turns right. The path ahead crosses smaller scree, and then in a moderate ascent continues over panoramic and partly grassy slopes, from which a nice view is opening up on Tosc and valley Voje. Higher, the path is turnning more and more to the left, so that we soon pass over on the northern slopes, and those are occasionally also a little steeper, but not exposed. When we step on the northern side of Krsteniški Stog, a nice view opens up also on Jezerski Stog and Triglav, and a moderately steep path we follow to the main ridge of Stogi, and we reach it a little south from the saddle between Krsteniški and Jezerski Stog. When we step on a ridge we go left and we continue the ascent on at first a poorly visible footpath which is further ascending through a lane of dwarf pines. The path ahead turns slightly towards the left, and after a short steep ascent brings us on a ridge, where we quickly step on a secondary peak of Krsteniški Stog. A gentle descent follows and then a gentle ascent to the nearby peak on a very panoramic and on some spots slightly exposed ridge.
