Trail description

Planina Vogar (1,054 m) hangs on a shelf above the northern shore of Lake Bohinj — and the viewpoint ledge by the Kosi hut is where most of the lake’s famous photos are taken: the blue-green water far below, Vogel and the Bohinj mountains above. The pasture is also a gateway for tours towards Pršivec and the Triglav Lakes Valley.

The trail starts in Stara Fužina: 1–1.5 hours of steep but well-marked forest climbing (+500 m). You can extend the walk to Planina Blato along a forest road. Vogar is at its best from spring to late autumn — and Lake Bohinj below makes the perfect finish: a swim after the descent.

Safety information

  • Steep but well-marked forest trail.
  • Kosi hut open in summer and at weekends.
  • The viewpoint ledge is precipitous — mind children.
