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 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 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 the Triglav Lakes. The way forward first ascends crosswise to the left over a steeper slope, and 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, 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 continue left in the direction of the Vratca Pass, Hribarice and Prehodavci (straight ahead Koča na planini pri Jezeru ), initially slightly downhill and past shepherds' huts. On the other side of mountain pasture the path starts to climb 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 becomes steeper. The path, which takes you 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. After a few easy steps, you will notice a path that branches off the marked path to the right (there are usually cairns signs at the crossroads) and crosses the scree uphill. The path from the scree slope changes to a grassy slope, after which you come to a small, indistinct scree slope. Here the track is briefly lost, but in good weather you will have no difficulty finding your way. The trail continues to climb through an increasingly narrow valley, passing between Prvni Vogl on the left and Slatna on the right. Follow this sometimes quite steep path to the saddle between the two peaks. Here the trail finally disappears and we continue to the right, where we reach the top of the panoramic and vast Slatna in 10 minutes on an easy and grassy slope.
