End of road on Vogar - Prvi Vogel (via Griva)

Access to the starting point:
From the Gorenjska highway (exit Lesce), Železnikov or Soriška planina, take the Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving towards Lake Bohinj. In Ribčev Laz, just before the lake, turn right towards Stara Fužina, where you first cross a bridge with a nice view of Bohinjsko jezero and pass the church of St. John the Baptist. When you arrive in Stara Fužina, at the crossroads by the chapel, turn sharp left onto the ascending road towards mountain pasture Blato, mountain pasture Vogar and the Voje 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 part of the road is gravel.

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 ascent, logging trail is laid down and the route 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. As the path becomes steeper, you will see cairn on your left and alongside 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 Ovčarija and the Trijglav Lakes. The way forward first ascends crosswise to the left over a steeper slope, and then gradually lays down 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, a path continues in a straight line towards mountain pasture Dedno polje, and a marked path continues sharp left towards mountain pasture Ovčarija.
At this crossroads, continue straight ahead, and the path ahead leads along a slightly less well-trodden track, which continues without major changes in altitude. After about 15 minutes of further walking, we reach a marked trail leading from mountain pasture Dedno polje towards mountain pasture Ovčarija, and we follow the trail to the right. There are a few minutes of moderate descent and the path, which leads through mostly sparse forest, leads to mountain pasture Dedno polje, where there are several shepherd's huts and a cheese cottage.
From the marked crossroads at mountain pasture Dedno polje continue left in the direction of the Vratca Pass, Hribarice and Prehodavci (straight ahead Koča na planini pri Jezeru ), initially slightly downhill and past shepherd's huts to the above-mentioned mountain pasture. On the other side of mountain pasture the path starts climbing again and leads to a less visible crossroads where the path branches off to the right to mountain pasture in Laz. Continue straight up the path, which gradually starts to climb steeper. The path, which takes us past the animal watering point (the watering point is dry), climbs mostly through coniferous forest (larch and spruce). After about half an hour's walk from mountain pasture Dedno polje, the world flattens out and a fine view opens up of the peaks that surround the initial part of the Za Kopica valley. The route continues up the southern slopes of Slatna and later of Prvega Vogel.
When you reach the southern slope of the First Vogel, leave the marked path and turn right onto the trackless road. Find an area where there is not too much dwarf pines and start climbing steeply. When you reach the crest of the headland, you can already see the top of the First Vogel. We descend a few metres from the summit and there is one last fairly steep climb up the south slope towards the summit.
