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.
Here in the direction of straight the path continues towards the mountain pasture Planina na Kraju and forward towards Dom na Komni, and we continue sharply right in the direction of Lanževica. The path ahead ascends through a lane of dwarf pines, and then it brings us into a smaller valley, where from the right joins already mentioned unmarked shortcut. We continue on a marked path, which turns to the left and then it brings us into next small valley, through and by which we then for quite some time continue the ascent. Higher, the footpath turns a little to the right and brings us on the ridge, which separates Primorska from Gorenjska.
When we step on the mentioned ridge we continue right (left saddle Bogatinsko sedlo) and we continue the ascent on the more and more panoramic indistinct ridge path. Higher, the footpath few times steeply ascends, and then with a view on Krn, ridge of Špičje, Triglav and other surrounding peaks, brings us on an ample peak of Lanževica.
