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. After series of valleys and meadows path brings us to a crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Lanževica (right Soča and mountain pasture Planina za Skalo). The path ahead continues on an old military mule track, which is except some rocky bridges already quite overgrown. A little further, we come on a larger meadow, which path almost circles. On the other side, the path starts ascending through the valley upwards. We are ascending between gentle slopes of Lanževica and Vrh nad Gracijo. Grassy slopes on which we walk are slowly changing into rocky. When we leave this valley, the path brings us on an indistinct small ridge, where the path from the saddle Bogatinsko sedlo joins (option of return). We continue right upwards in the direction of Lanževica, which we reach after 20 minutes of a light ascent on its upper slope.
