Pod Zjabci - Plaski Vogel (via Travnik)

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 left in the direction of the mountain pasture Za skalo (straight the path continues towards Komna and lakes Triglavska jezera) on the path which crosses slopes towards the left. We will soon step out of the forest, where the footpath slightly descends towards the left (here from the left joins another, in the description unmentioned footpath), and we continue on at first well visible footpath which descends to the mountain pasture Za skalo and TNP cottage.
From the mountain pasture, we return a little back and in front of us, we will on a slope notice a footpath which in ascent crosses scree towards the valley Travnikova dolina. We go on the mentioned unmarked footpath which ascends on already slightly overgrown scree. After that, the path passes on a grassy slope, turns slightly to the right and steeply ascends. On this part of the path, we also get help from a steel cable. After that, the path becomes less steep and still runs on a grassy slope past increasingly rare trees. The footpath then runs on the right side of the valley, where we will on our right notice entrance in abyss. We continue with the ascent through the valley and on the right side soon a view opens up towards Čelo. On this part, the footpath becomes hard to follow but orientation isn't too difficult, because we just continue on a wide valley. In front of us we can already see the peak Travnik. When the valley starts turn-off to the right, we go left and start ascending on steep grass towards the notch Travniška škrbina (notch left from Travnik). Top of Travnik we can otherwise reach also through notch at the end of the valley on the right side of Travnik. When we reach notch Travniška škrbina we go right and we continue on a panoramic ridge upwards to the top of Travnik.
From the top of Travnik we continue on the ridge towards Plaski Vogel. When the ridge already becomes quite steep we descend slightly right downwards towards the scree, where we will then found passage on a steep grassy slope towards the south ridge of the mountain. When we reach the ridge, we continue left upwards and we are ascending by relatively steep ridge towards the summit. In the last part of the path (by south ridge) when looking for easier passages we also get help from numerous cairns.
