Planina Blato - Vršaki (Srednji vrh) (via Planina v Lazu and through valley Dolina za Debelim vrhom)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue towards Bohinjsko jezero (Ribčev laz), at which you will come to a crossroads where you will turn right towards Stara Fužina. At Stara Fužina, at the crossroads by the chapel, turn sharp left onto the ascending road towards mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and the Voja valley. The road continues to the place where the toll and parking fees are collected, and we follow it to the next crossroads, where we continue to the left (right Voje). We then follow the road to the next crossroads (we drive for some time), where we take a sharp right in the direction of mountain pasture Blato (straight ahead mountain pasture Vogar). Follow this road to the parking lot above mountain pasture Blato.

Path description:
From the parking lot at mountain pasture Mud, follow the road back a little to the signs at cart track. Here we take the cart track, which climbs steeply at first and then moderately and leads us within a ten-minute walk to a crossroads where we go right in the direction of mountain pasture in Laz (left mountain pasture at Jezero). After only a few 10 steps of further walking, you reach the next crossroads, where you again continue to the right along the increasingly worse cart track (straight mountain pasture at Jezero, a steep path). The path continues to climb moderately and mostly through the forest. After an hour and a half of walking, the path branches off to the right at mountain pasture Krstenica, and we continue straight on in the direction of mountain pasture Laz. The way forward begins to descend slightly and then quickly leads us to mountain pasture.

From Planina v Lazu continue on the marked path in the direction of Vodnikov dom and Lazovški prevala. The way forward initially climbs gently along the northern part of mountain pasture, then passes into the forest, where it gradually begins to climb more steeply. Higher up, the forest thins out and the path almost completely lays down for a while. Continue up the steeper path, which you can follow, with increasingly beautiful views, to the aforementioned pass.

At Lazovški preval, leave the marked path and head left towards Debeli vrh (marked cairns). After a short climb, head slightly right to the north side of Debeli vrh. A little care is needed here, as there are some potholes along the way. Follow the moguls across the slopes below the north face of Debeli vrh and start descending on fairly steep terrain. After descending, turn right (northwards), cross the valley and then start to climb below the western slopes of Vrh Hribaric (2388m). Following the terrain marked cairns, continue to climb gently in a northwards direction until you reach the saddle between Vrhom Hribarice and Vršaki.

Here continue left to the south (left) side of the eastern summit of Vršaky. Then start climbing up the pathless slope, crossing the southern slopes of the mountain to the west. At the last part, turn right and there is a short climb up to the eastern, highest peak of Vršakov.

From the summit, descend slightly to the south side to avoid a difficult ridge and then descend down the scree. Some caution is needed in the lower part of the scree as the scree ends with a steep rocky slope. At the end of the scree, continue right and after a short traverse, start climbing again. There is one last climb to the middle (second) summit of Vršakov.
