Koča pri Savici - Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (via 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 footpath in the direction of waterfall Savica and Dom na Komni. After a short gentle ascent the path already brings us to a marked crossing where the tourist path towards the waterfall Savica branches off to the right, we continue slightly left or straight on a wide footpath in the direction of Komna. The path ahead is for a short time still ascending by Savica, and then it brings us on the first of 48 marked hairpin turns. After an hour and a half of a moderate ascent through the forest, the path brings us to the mentioned 48th hairpin turn, from which a beautiful view opens up on lake Bohinj. Here the path turns a little to the right and passes into a valley named Pekel, where for some time it is ascending gently, and then turns to the right and it ascends a little steeper again. Already after few 10 strides the path turns left again and is then ascending parallel with the valley. Further, gentle to moderately steep path, gradually passes into a more thin forest, from which we can soon see the mountain hut Dom na Komni. The path ahead leads us past a smaller artificial cave, and higher also past a natural abyss, which is fenced, so that the hikers don't fall in it. Further, the path ascends a little steeper and after few steps of additional walking brings us to a crossing, where the path towards the lake Črno jezero branches off to the right.
We continue straight on a wide path (mule track), which only a little higher brings us to the next crossing. We continue right (left Dom na Komni 5 minutes), where already after few steps we get to the next crossing. This time we continue right in the direction of Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (straight Koča pod Bogatinom 15 minutes) and we continue the ascent on a little less, but still well-beaten footpath. The path ahead few times ascends and descends, and after approximately 30 minutes of additional walking brings us to the spot, where from the left joins the path from the mountain hut Koča pod Bogatinom. Ahead almost unnoticeably we stride across abandoned mountain pasture Razor, behind which, the path gradually starts moderately ascending. Eventually, the path turns right and brings us on panoramic small indistinct saddle, on which we notice old signs for Triglav national park.
Next follows a short descent and the path brings us to swampy mountain pasture Planina na Kalu. After that, the path gradually passes into a thin forest, where then with some shorter ascents and descents continues all the way to the mountain pasture Lopučnica. On the mountain pasture Lopučnica is marked crossing, and we continue slightly right in the direction of lakes Triglavska jezera (left Velika vrata and mountain pasture Za Skalo). On the other side of the mentioned mountain pasture path again passes into the forest and gradually starts moderately to steeply ascending. After approximately half an hour ascent, the path flattens and turns sharply to the left. Follows only few minutes of descent and the path brings us to the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih.
Savica - Komna 2:30, Komna - Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih 2:30.
