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 marked parking lot at mountain pasture Blato go back a few 10 steps, then take the wide and initially quite steep cart track in the direction of mountain pasture at Jezero. After 10 minutes of relatively steep ascent, you reach a marked crossroads where you continue along the left steep cart track (straight mountain pasture in Laz), only to be joined a little higher by the marked path with mountain pasture Vogar. Continue along the wide, partly stony cart track, which is crossable at a higher level and then climbs steeply through a small hairpin bend. Just ahead, the path bends sharply to the left and leads into a cold valley called Pungrat, where it crosses an abandoned pasture fence. The path ahead starts to climb steeply again, then turns to the right and lays completely flat. Just a few metres further on, we join the path with mountain pasture Vodični vrh on our left, and we continue straight on and after 5 minutes of further walking we arrive at mountain pasture near Jezero, in the middle of which stands a mountain hut.
From the mountain hut, continue slightly to the left and initially downhill to a marked crossroads, from which take the right path in the direction of Dednega polje (to the left mountain pasture Viševnik and Pršivec). The wide path continues, first gently and then climbing moderately to steeply through a sparse spruce forest. Higher up, a path branches off to the left across Krištofojca, leading towards mountain pasture Viševnik, and we continue along the wide path, which gently slopes upwards and then turns slightly to the right, where we see mountain pasture Dedno polje ahead. Here the path turns to the left and after a few further steps leads to mountain pasture Dedno polje, at the edge of which is a marked crossroads.
Continue straight ahead towards the hut at Triglav Lakes (right valley Za Kopica) along the path, which continues to climb gently to moderately through mostly sparse forest. The path from which we open a beautiful view of the Lower Bohinj Mountains then descends and leads us to mountain pasture Ovčarija, where the next crossroads.
Continue along the right-hand path in the direction of the hut by the Triglav Lakes over Štapce (straight path over Prode). The way forward initially climbs moderately through a rare larch forest, then climbs steeply and leads us over lane of dwarf pines to the Štapce lookout. At Štapce continue slightly right in the direction of Tičarice and Zelnarice (slightly left Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih) and continue the ascent along the path which first climbs through lane of dwarf pines, then leads to a short steep and especially in the wet dangerous for slipping jump. Above the jump, the path flattens out and turns to moderately steep grassy slopes, which are ascended in a few minutes' further walking to a small saddle where a marked path branches off to the left to Little Tičarica.
Continue in the direction of Zelnarice along a relatively steep path which first crosses the slopes of Mala Tičarica and then Velika Tičarica. After Velika Tičarica, the path changes to a wide grassy ridge along which we then climb. After a few minutes of easy walking, the path begins to climb steeply up a partly grassy slope. The steepness quickly wears off, and the path leads to the vast meadows south of the precipitous and overhanging Kopica. Cross the open meadows to the base of the summit slope of Kopica, then, on reaching the edge of the cliff, the waymarked path turns right and crosses a small scree slope. Beyond the scree, the path turns left and then begins to climb steeply in a cross-climb. At a small, indistinct hollow, the marked path approaches the ridge and turns gently to the right. At this point, leave the marked trail and climb the ridge of Kopice in a few steps on an easier trackless path over a moderately steep grassy slope. Here, turn left and continue along the increasingly narrow but technically easy ridge. After less than 5 minutes' walk from the point where we left the marked trail, we reach the Kopice peak, which is very scenic and precipitous.
In the fog it will be difficult to find the start of the trackless climb to Kopica.

Res je to lahko brezpotje,ki pa je že postala neonačena uhojena pot.Je kratka,ravno tako bi jo bilo potrebno trasirati in namestiti Žig in vpisno knjigo.Zgoraj ni nič posebnega ,od spodaj pa zgleda mogočna skala.

Jz bi glede Kopice tkole napisala: je precej zapostavljen vrh, ki je tudi izredno lahko dostopen. Glede na to, kako mogočna izgleda iz Doline sedmerih jezer in iz Velega polja, potem si res zasluži žig in vpisno knjigico.

Meni je pa čisto všeč tako kot je. Ali moramo ljudje res vedno povsod pustiti svoje sledove? Mislim, da lahko kaj pustimo tudi tako, kot je. Dodajam še nekaj slikic Kopice, ki sem jih naredila prejšnji petek na poti na Vogle. Videla sem pet ljudi in 30 gamsov.

Kako je z nadaljevanjem poti proti sedlu Vrata? Koliko časa je potrebno z Vrha Kopice do omenjenega sedla? LP Janez
