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 Koča pri Bogatinu we follow the signs Bogatin and Krn. The path which is very wide leads us through a small valley towards the saddle Bogatinsko sedlo (Vratca). The path which is only slowly ascending after a good hour of walking from the mountain hut Koča pod Bogatinom brings us on a saddle Bogatinsko sedlo, where a view opens up on Primorska side.
Here is also a crossing, where we go on the right path, which runs on Lanževica (left Bogatin, straight downwards lake Krnsko jezero. If there is a fog we will have from here on problems with orientation. The path further slightly ascends and runs on a wide ridge. After that, the path bypasses Vrh nad Gracijo on the left side and it brings us to the next crossing, where we continue left towards Lanževica (right Lepa Komna, option of a circular path) to which we have only 20 more minutes of walking on gentle upper slope.
The starting point - Koča pod Bogatinom 2:45, Koča pod Bogatinom - Lanževica 2:15.
