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 both 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 continue on the leftmost path in the direction of Pršivec (left Črno jezero, slightly left mountain pasture Ovčarija, slightly right Koča na planini pri Jezeru past Krištofojce, right Koča na planini pri Jezeru ) along the path which first ascends transversely towards the western part of mountain pasture Viševnik. The trail then turns slightly further to the left and climbs slightly steeper in passing. The steepness quickly eases and the path gradually descends towards a small valley, which is quickly reached. Here the path turns left again and leads past the May Cave (the cave has been explored to a depth of 592 m) to a steep slope covered with increasingly sparse forest. A steep climb of about 20 minutes follows, and the increasingly scenic route leads to the top of Pršivec.
Starting point - mountain pasture Viševnik 1:20, mountain pasture Viševnik - Pršivec 1:00.
