Koča pri Savici - Kal (via Lepa Komna)

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 a wide path, which ascends by the river Savica (direction Komna and waterfall Savica). After two minutes of easy walking we come to a small cottage (a stand), where the path towards the waterfall branches off to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Komni. The path ahead leads us on an old military mule track and is ascending in numerous hairpin turns, all the time through the forest. When we walk the 48 hairpin turns the path brings us into a small indistinct valley between Dobračeva glava and Pleša. This small valley is called Pekel. Ascent ahead runs on a less steep slope, where on the right side we can notice a cave, which they made during the war. Ten minutes before the mountain hut Dom na Komni we come to a crossing, where we go left (right lake Črno jezero). And only few steps ahead we come to the next crossing, where the path branches off to the right, which leads towards the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih. We continue left and a little steeper path we follow all the way to the mountain hut Dom na Komni.
From here we continue behind the mountain hut, in the direction towards the mountain hut Koča pod Bogatinom. After 15 minutes of easy walking we come to a pyramid from which to the mountian hut is only few steps of light descent.
From the mountain hut, we continue forward in the direction of Lanževica and Bogatin, but only few meters. The path again brings us to a crossing, where we continue slightly right in the direction of Lanževica and Soča (straight saddle Bogatinsko sedlo). The path ahead at first gently, and then moderately ascends on a grassy slope surrounded by dwarf pines. After that ascent, the path over an indistinct band brings us into a smaller valley.
The path ahead runs on a plateau of Lepa Komna and only occasionally ascends a little. On series of valleys, the path brings us to an abandoned mountain pasture Poljanica, where we leave the marked path and we go right (north) towards the saddle Mala Vrata. A little before the saddle, we then turn right and we start ascending on the western slope of Kal towards the ridge. On the ridge, we turn left and then follows a shorter ascent towards the summit. The path over Lepa Komna and on slopes of Kal is quite overgrown with dwarf pines, therefore the ascent on Kal is more appropriate in the winter, when dwarf pines are covered with sufficiently thick snow cover.

On the way: Dom na Komni mountain hut (1520m), Koča pod Bogatinom mountain hut (1513m)
