End of road on Vogar - Čelo (via Štapce)

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 leads on to a place where tolls and parking fees are collected, and we follow it on to the next crossroads, where we continue left (right Voje). Follow the road to the next crossroads (take some time), where you continue straight on (sharp right mountain pasture Blato). Follow the road past mountain pasture Vogar and follow it to the parking area at the end of the road.
From the toll booth to the starting point is about 11 km drive, the last half or a bit less is entirely gravel road.

Path description:
At the parking lot we see the signs for mountain pasture Viševnik, which direct us to the right onto the wide and initially quite steep tractor track logging trail. After a few minutes of steep climbing, logging trail is laid down and then continues through the forest without any major changes in elevation. When logging trail turns to the right, continue straight on the marked footpath, which climbs gently for a short time. When the path becomes steeper, you will see cairn on the left and next to it a path leading to Pršivec (the path later joins the normal path from Vogar), and we continue straight on along the steep mountain path. The way forward climbs steeply for some time through the forest, then it is laid and leads us to the Abyss at Gamsova glavici (the abyss has been explored to a depth of 817 m). Above the abyss, the path turns into an undistinguished and, in the upper part, steeper valley, which ascends to a small pass between Pršivecm (1761 m) on the left and Gornji Viševnik (17022 m) on the right. Here the path completely flattens out and then continues for some time across the pastures of Gornji Viševnik. On the other side, the path returns to the forest and, after a few minutes of descent, leads to mountain pasture Viševnik, in the middle of which stands Bregar's shelter.
From mountain pasture Viševnik continue slightly left (sharp left Pršivec, left Črno jezero, slight right mountain pasture at Jezero past Krištofojce, right mountain pasture at Jezero) on the path in the direction of mountain pasture Ovčarije and Triglav Lakes. The way forward first ascends crosswise to the left over a steeper slope, then gradually flattens out and leads us into a flatter world. The route continues south-west of Griva (1758 m) for some time without any major changes in altitude. A little further on, more precisely at the direction signs, an unmarked path continues in a straight direction towards mountain pasture Dedno polje, and we continue sharp left in the direction of mountain pasture Ovčarije. From the direction signs the path descends slightly, then turns right and continues for some time along a sort of contour or sink. On the other side of the conte the path begins to climb moderately again, then it lays down and leads to the shepherds' tents at mountain pasture Ovčarija. Continue between the huts along the marked mountain path, which begins to descend moderately. Slightly lower down, the path leads us past a few more huts, and then, within a few minutes of further walking, it leads to a place where it joins the wider path with mountain pasture Dedno polje. Here we continue to the left and in a few steps we reach the next crossroads.
Straight on, the path continues towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih - via Prods, and we continue to the right in the direction of the path via Štapce. The trail then climbs, first gently and then moderately, up a valley of sorts between Rušnata glava on the left and Bela glava on the right. Higher up, the path becomes a little steeper, then it flattens out and leads to a marked crossroads at Štapceah.
Here, continue left down towards the Double Lake, which is clearly visible below (Tičarica on the right). The trail starts descending steeply from Štapce on an excellent protected path (the path is guarded by a rope ladder and in the lower part by a ladder). After less than 5 minutes of descent, the trail passes a scree slope and then descends to the Double Lake, where we continue to the right towards the hut (left path over Prode and Črno jezero). The gently sloping trail then bypasses the lake on the right side and quickly leads us to the Hut at the Triglav Lakes.
From the hut, continue sharp left in the direction of Dom na Komni along the path which begins to climb crosswise along the western side of the Double Lake. After a short climb, you reach an indistinct ridge, from which the path turns right and begins to descend. After a half-hour's descent, the path leads to the mountain pasture Hatch, where there is a crossroads.
Continue right in the direction mountain pasture Behind the rock (slightly to the left, the Komna house) on a less well-trodden path which crosses the slopes of mountain pasture to the north-west. The path, which passes through tall grasses (in summer), crosses a belt of sparse forest a little higher up and then turns slightly to the left. The path then climbs steeply and within a few minutes of further walking leads into a karst world of potholes and scrapes. Here the path lays down and begins to disappear into the rocky world (follow the markings carefully). At this point, we have a wonderful view of the mountains surrounding the Triglav Lakes Valley. The marked trail is then followed only as far as the Velika vrata prevala, which is reached after a few more minutes of gentle ascent. On the other side of the Great Gate, leave the already little-visited path and continue right along the pathless world. At first, the transitions between dwarf pines and the scabrous world are relatively easy, as cairns help us find the "way", which are admittedly rare. The ascent continues in a somewhat northerly direction, but there are no direct passages due to the karst world. Because of the crevasses, we have to make quite a big detour from time to time. When the "path" just leads us to the ridge, the orientation loops are over. We continue our ascent along the increasingly scenic ridge, and the "path" then quickly leads us to the inexpressible summit of Glave za Bajto.
Next, we descend slightly, then climb the grassy slope of Čela to a little-known and even less-visited peak.
