Access to starting point:
We drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, and then we continue driving towards Lake Bohinj. When in Ribčev Laz we get to the lake we continue right over a bridge and past the church of St. John the Baptist we drive to the nearby crossroad, where signs for a parking lot point us to the left. From the crossroad, we drive for approximately 300 meters and then we park on a parking lot near the lake. The parking lot is payable, payable is also majority of the nearby parking lots. Settled free parking lot is at the beginning of Ribčev Laz, this extends the path for approximately 15 minutes.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we notice signs for Ukanc, the path behind the lake, which point us to the right on a wide path which continues by swimming area Fužinski zaliv. At first from the path, a nice view opening up on lake and surrounding mountains, and when we leave the area of Fužinski zaliv path passes into the forest, which occasionally gets thinner, so that occasionally we can still admire lake. Further, the path leads us over more torrents and some streams, and then after former fish farm cart track narrows in footpath. For some time we still walk by northern coast of the lake, and then we go a little away from the lake and we cross a torrent of mighty Govic. The path after that returns to the lake, and it brings us also to a marked crossing, from which we continue right in the direction of waterfall Savica (if we continue by the lake we get to Ukanc).
From the crossing, we short time walk on a narrower footpath, and then we join the cart track which past cottages Janko and Metka brings us to the spot, where the path branches off to the right towards panorama Ukanc, and we continue straight and after few minutes of additional walking, we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the right.
We short time continue on the asphalt road, and then yellow signs for waterfall Savica point us slightly right on a macadam path, which at first still leads past few cottages, and then passes into the forest. Through the forest, we are moderately ascending, and when higher the path flattens, we get to a marked crossing, where the path branches off to the right over Komarča, and we continue straight on a gently sloping path towards the mountain hut Koča pri Savici. Next we cross a bridge, and then we already get to the mountain hut Koča pri Savici.
