Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving through the mountain pass Vršič towards Bovec. Soon after the tunnel Berebica, we will come in the village Soča, where we turn left through a bridge over the river Soča (direction tourist farm Jelinčič and camp Korita). After the bridge, we don't turn left towards the camp, but we continue driving straight on an ascending asphalt road. Further, we are ascending over ample meadows, in the middle of which stands some individual cottages, and then the road passes into the forest. Higher, the road turns quite to the left and it brings us to Pod Zjabcev, where we notice mountain signposts for mountain pasture Planina Za skalo, Dom na Komni and lakes Triglavska jezera. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
B) From Primorska, at first we drive in Bovec, and then we continue driving towards Trenta. Towards the end of the village Soča, we turn right in the direction of tourist farm Jelinčič and camp Korita. After the bridge, we don't turn left towards the camp, but we continue driving straight on an ascending asphalt road. Further, we are ascending over ample meadows, in the middle of which stands some individual cottages, and then the road passes into the forest. Higher, the road turns quite to the left and it brings us to Pod Zjabcev, where we notice mountain signposts for mountain pasture Planina Za skalo, Dom na Komni and lakes Triglavska jezera. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From Pod Zjabci we go on a marked path, which on the right side bypasses the nearby cottages. Behind the cottages, the path goes into the forest and it quickly brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue right over a stream. On the other side of the stream, the path turns left and starts moderately ascending through a dense forest. We continue the ascent on an old mule track, which is on many spots already greatly eaten away, and which higher brings us to a short steep rocky part. Through the mentioned part leads us well maintained and wide mule track, and the path above the mentioned part brings us to the vantage point, from which a beautiful view opens up on Bavški Grintavec.
From the vantage point, the path returns into the forest and quickly ascends to an old trough with water (here is by the path a small well, which in dry periods dries up). Above the trough, the path turns a little left and then it is ascending in numerous zig-zags through the forest. Higher, the footpath flattens a little and brings us on a less noticeable crossing, where the abandoned path towards the mountain pasture Za skalo branches off to the left.
From here we still continue straight, again a little steeper path, after 10 minutes of additional walking, brings us to the next, this time entirely unmarked crossing. Here unmarked footpath branches off to the right, which leads towards the nearby hunting cottage and forward towards the mountain pasture Planina za Črnim vrhom, to the left hunting path towards the mountain pasture Za skalo branches off, and we continue straight to the next nearby crossing, which is a little better marked.
Here we continue straight or slightly right, on a marked path in the direction of lakes Triglavska jezera and Komna. We continue on a gently sloping path, which through a conifer forest, brings us to a crossing.
From the crossing, we continue on the right path in the direction of Komna (left lakes Triglavska jezera), and on the right side it bypasses Dol za Bajarjem. On the other side of the valley, the path starts at first gently after that steeply ascending. The steepness quickly decreases and an increasingly panoramic path, brings us in a series of smaller valleys, through which we gently ascend to the notch Oslova škrbina.
From Oslova škrbina marked path starts descending towards the plateau Lepa Komna. During the descent, some unmarked footpaths branches off to the right (old military mule tracks, in case if we go on Lanževica shorten the path for good 20 minutes), and we follow the marked path, which lower brings us to a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Komni (sharply right Lanževica) on the path which crosses a lane of dwarf pines, and then it brings us on a less noticeable crossing, where the unmarked path towards Poljanica branches off to the left and forward towards Mala vrata or mountain pasture Planina na Kalu and lakes Triglavska jezera. Further, quite gently sloping path, which few times slightly ascends, but otherwise mostly slightly descending, continues over a series of many smaller valleys. When small valleys ends, follows a little longer descent and the path brings us to the mountain pasture Planina na Kraju, from where we continue left towards the nearby mountain hut.
From the mountain hut Koča pod Bogatinom, we continue on a wide mountain path in the direction of Komna, and after 10 minutes of additional walking brings us to the next crossing. Here we continue right (straight Koča pri Savici) and on a gently sloping path we quickly get to the mountain hut Dom na Komni.
