Koča pri Savici - Čelo

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. We continue driving towards the lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight on the left (south) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanc and waterfall Savica. This more and more narrow road, we then follow to a large parking lot at the mountain hut Savica. The parking lot is payable.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the road which over a bridge crosses a river Savica. Further, we follow the path in the direction of Triglavska jezera. At first gently sloping path soon becomes steep and is ascending on the lower southern slopes of Komarča. After a good half an hour of walking, the path becomes even steeper and it brings us to technically demanding spots. The path on a wall of Komarča is nicely routed, but still at every step, the caution is needed, so that we don't slip. On harder spots we have fixed safety gear for help which help us to ascend safer to the top of the wall. The steep ascent, which lasts approximately one hour ends with a view into the valley on a parking lot, where we have parked the car. The steepness then decreases and the path in five minutes of easy walking brings us to the lake Črno jezero.
At the beginning of the lake, the path on the mountain pasture Viševnik and Pršivec branches off to the right, and we continue straight on the right side of the lake. On the other side of the lake, the path brings us to the next crossing. We continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (left Komna). The path ahead is ascending below the walls of Stador on the right and virgin forest Lopučnica on the left. Eventually, the path brings us on a grassy clearing, where the marked path turns right steeply upwards. After 15 minutes, the steepness decreases and after additional 15 minutes, the path brings us to the next crossing, where we continue left (right mountain pasture Ovčarija, Dedno polje and Blato). A gentle ascent follows to the spot, where in front of us we notice lake Dvojno jezero. The path ahead slightly descends to the lake and then continues on the right side. Here we come to a crossing, where right upward, the path to Tičarica branches off. We continue on the bottom path, which after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih, which we see in front of us.
From the mountain hut, we continue sharply left in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Komni on the path which starts to ascend diagonally on the west side of the lake Dvojno jezero. After a short ascent, we come on an indistinct ridge, from which, the path turns right and starts descending. After half an hour of a gentle descent, the path brings us on the mountain pasture Lopučnica, where there is a crossing.
We continue right in the direction of the mountain pasture Za skalo (slightly left Dom na Komni) on a badly beaten path, which crosses slopes of the mountain pasture towards the northwest. The path which runs through high grass (in the summer months) little higher crosses a lane of thin forest and then turns a little towards the left. The path ahead steeply ascends and in few minutes of additional walking brings us on karst terrain of abysses and limestone pavements. Here the path flattens and on rocky terrain starts vanishing (we carefully follow the blazes). On this part, a breathtaking view opens up on mountains, which surround the valley Dolina Triglavskih jezer. We then follow the marked path only to a saddle Velika vrata, which we reach after few additional minutes of a light ascent.
On the other side of Velika vrata we leave an already little-visited path and we continue right on pathless terrain. At first, the passages among dwarf pines and limestone pavement terrain are relatively easy, because we get help from cairns, which are actually rare. We continue the ascent somehow in the direction towards the north, but there aren't any direct passages because of karst terrain. Because of the cracks, we occasionally have to do quite a large turn. When "path" finally brings us on the ridge, the orientation problems end. We continue the ascent on a more and more panoramic ridge and "path" then quickly brings us on an indistinct peak Glava za Bajto.
Further, we slightly descend, after that on a grassy slope of Čelo we ascend on a little known and even less visited peak.
