Koča pri Savici - Vodnikov Vršac (Vršac nad Zadnjico)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, and then we follow the signs for Lake Bohinj. We bypass the lake on left, south side and past the parking lot for ski slope Vogel, we drive to the mountain hut Koča pri Savici, where we park on a payable parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go right in the direction of the lake Črno jezero, mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Hotel Zlatorog. The path at first leads on a macadam road which over a bridge crosses the river Savica. Only a little after the bridge, signs for Komarča point us to the left (straight Hotel Zlatorog) on at first quite wide and relatively gentle forest path. The path soon starts ascending steeper and a little higher brings us to a spot, where the path branches off to the left towards the source of Savica, and we continue right on an increasingly steep path.
Well maintained and relatively wide mountain path, soon passes on very steep and for slipping dangerous slopes of Komarča (there's also a great danger of falling stones). The path ahead is steeply ascending on mostly forested wall of Komarča, where on harder spots we have fixed safety gear for help (mainly steel cables).
Higher from the path some views open up towards Bohinj, and the path brings us to short technically demanding spot, where with the help of stemples and a steel cable we cross otherwise not very exposed gully. The path ahead is for some time still steeply ascending and with the help of some fixed safety gear brings us to the top of Komarča, from where a beautiful view opens up on our starting point. Next follows a short moderately steep ascent, and then the path starts gently descending towards the lake Črno jezero, which we reach after less than 5 minutes of additional walking.
Near the lake is marked crossing, where the path towards the mountain pasture Viševnik branches off to the right, and we go slightly left and we continue on a marked path, which on the right side bypasses lake Črno jezero. On the other side of the lake from the left joins the path from the mountain hut Dom na Komni, and we continue on a relatively gently sloping path which continues by the edge of valley Lopučniška dolina. Higher, the path starts moderately ascending and by the foot of the overhung cliffs, brings us to a smaller well, which in dry periods dries up.
We continue on a marked path, and which near Bela skala turns sharply to the right and steeply ascends. Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent, and then the path flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing, where from the right side joins the path from the mountain pasture Blato. We continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and we continue on a relatively gently sloping path, on which in 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the lake Dvojno jezero. The marked path bypasses the lake on the right side and before we come on the other side brings us to a crossing, where the path towards Štapce branches off to the right.
Here we continue straight and in few minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih.
From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Prehodavci and Hribarice and we continue past the artificial lake Močivec. Already immediately behind the lake path starts moderately ascending on a less and less vegetated valley. Pleasant and a panoramic path then leads us through the valley of Dolina Triglavskih jezer, and it quickly brings us to the next marked crossing, where the path branches off to the left on Veliko or Lepo Špičje.
We continue in the direction of Prehodavci and we continue on a relatively gently sloping path, which at first crosses a lane of thin larch forest and then we continue on a pleasant small valley. The path ahead moderately ascends and brings us on a smaller saddle, from which a nice view opens up on lake Jezero v Ledvicah.
The marked path mentioned lake bypasses on the right side, where continues on extensive scree by the foot of the both peaks of Zelnarica. Behind the lake path from scree returns in the valley of Dolina Triglavskih jezer, on which we continue relatively gently sloping ascent. Already entirely high mountain path, higher ascends steeper for a short time, after that entirely flattens and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the lake Zeleno jezero.
From the lake Zeleno jezero we continue on the left path in the direction of the mountain hut Zasavska koča (right Hribarice), and it soon splits into two parts. We continue on the left the path which ascends direct towards the mountain hut Zasavska koča (and the right path leads past the lake Rjavo jezero) and after few minutes brings us to an indistinct ridge (border between Primorska and Gorenjska). Here we continue right (left Veliko Špičje, straight downwards Trenta and Zadnjica) on the path which past the winter bivouac in few minutes of easy walking it brings us to the mountain hut Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih.
From the mountain hut, we continue towards the northeast and at first, we descend a little. The path then brings us to a crossing where right leads the path to a drinking water.
Here the path again starts ascending and crosses slopes above the lake Jezero pod Vršacem. The path then ascends a little steeper and brings us on the saddle between Kanjavec and Vodnikov Vršac.
From the saddle, we continue few ten meters on a marked path which starts descending. We then leave the marked path and go left on pathless terrain. Here we walk on undemanding grassy slope, at orientation we also get help from few cairns. After a short ascent, we come on slopes on the south side of the peak and follows an ascent on a panoramic slope to the top.
