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. Follow this road to the parking lot where tolls and parking fees are collected.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue right towards the Mostnice riverbeds along a wide path, which will take you to the Devil's Bridge in a few minutes, from which you can get your first view of the riverbeds. At the bridge, turn left onto a minor road, which you follow for a short distance, as the signs for the troughs then direct you to the right onto a well-maintained tourist trail. The path ahead soon leads us to the central trough, along which we then climb steeply. During the ascent along the troughs, we come across the "Elephant" markers (a rock hollowed out by water in the shape of an elephant - worth a look). The way forward continues to climb for some time along Mostnica, then turns slightly to the left, where after a few minutes of further walking it leads us to a forest road leading towards the valley of the Voja valley. Follow the road to the right and it will quickly lead you to the NOB monument (you can also drive here, this will shorten the journey by about 45 minutes).
At the monument, leave the road and continue to the left following the gently sloping cart track, which quickly leads to a small crossroads where you continue along the left marked path. The ascent continues on a moderately steep path which, after a short climb, leads to a woded ridge. Here the path turns to the right and transitively lays down. A little further along the way you will notice a small cross, and the path from here on becomes steeper and steeper.
For some time, the path climbs steeply through the dense forest. At an altitude of approximately 1300 m, the path is laid, and a few metres higher up it leads us to a place where we cross the unmarked path mountain pasture Blato - mountain pasture Zgornja Grintovica. The crossing of this path is almost imperceptible, as there are a lot of fallen trees covering both paths.
Continue in the same direction and soon you will rejoin the well-traced, but less well-marked path. The way ahead climbs for some time through the dense forest and then slowly approaches the nearby mountain pasture. Higher up, the forest becomes thinner and the path less steep. A little further on, we emerge from the forest, where the unspoilt world of mountain pasture Krstenica opens up before us. Again a less visible path, it turns slightly to the left and leads us first in a moderate ascent and then in a slight descent to the shepherds' tents at mountain pasture Krstenica. From mountain pasture continue along the path which is initially slightly less visible on the west (left) side of mountain pasture. After a few tens of metres, several smaller paths merge into one clearly visible path. The path continues with a few short ascents and descents, crossing the slopes of Krstenišký (Little) and later Jezerski Stog. After about half an hour's walk from mountain pasture Krstenica, the path leads us into the grassy world of the abandoned mountain pasture Jezerce.
From mountain pasture we continue to a water trough and climb a few tens of metres up towards the Jezersko Preval. Leave the marked path here and head left into a small valley below the scree, where you will see an unmarked path. The path, which climbs gently at first, then crosses the slopes below the cliffs on our right in a gentle descent. A little further on, the path turns right and starts to climb along a path that is less visible in places. The path then leads us through a series of small valleys to the slopes of Prevalski Stog. Here we see Mišeljski preval in front of us, located between Škednjovec on the left and Prevalski Stog on the right. The path, which climbs quite steeply in the last metres, leads us to the above-mentioned preval.
At the pass, turn right and steeply upwards. Follow the steep and dangerously slippery ridge path in the wet to the top slopes of Prevalski Stog. After less than ten minutes the steepness eases and there is a further five-minute walk along the panoramic grassy slopes of the mountain.
