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). Only few steps ahead we come to the next crossing, where the path which leads towards the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih branches off to the right (left Dom na Komni 5 minutes).
We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih on the path which already after few additional strides, it brings us to the next crossing. We again continue right (left mountain hut Koča pod Bogatinom) and we continue the ascent on the path which few times slightly ascends and then descends again.
A little further joins the path from the mountain hut Koča pod Bogatinom, and we continue ahead in the direction of the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih. Pleasant mountain path then crosses abandoned mountain pasture Razor, and a little later also swampy mountain pasture Planina na Kalu. Further, the path a little more descends and brings us on abandoned mountain pasture Lopučnica.
Savica - Komna 2:30, Komna - Lopučnica 1:45.
