Ski hotel Vogel - Rušnati vrh (via Konjsko sedlo)

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. We follow this road to the bottom station of the cable car on Vogel, then we buy a ticket and go with a cableway to the upper station, which is the starting point for our tour.

Path description:
At Ski Hotel we go right (towards the west) and we continue on a macadam road which goes past the mountain hut Merjasec. The road starts slightly descending and it brings us to a crossroad. We go on the right road following the signs »Komna, Sirarna Zadnji Vogel«. The road is still slightly descending and we are soon at a crossing again. This time we go to the left road following the signs »Pl Zadnji Vogel, Komna«. Already after few ten meters of ascent a sign on rock (Vogel) point us on a footpath which goes right in the forest. The path through the forest runs parallel with the road and starts slightly descending. When we again join the road we continue by following the signs »Pl. Zadnji Vogel«. The road then crosses a cableway Zadnji Vogel and it brings us to a crossing at the cheese cottage Zadnji Vogel. We continue straight past cheese cottage and we follow the signs »Komna« (left path on Vogel branches off). The path then through dwarf pines it brings us into the forest and again starts descending a little. The path which runs into a valley towards the hotel Zlatorog branches off to the right, and we continue on the left path, which soon brings us out of the forest and nice views open up on surrounding peaks. The path here starts ascending again and runs mostly on a grassy terrain surrounded by rare dwarf pines. The path slowly starts turning to the left and it brings us to a crossing. Left leads the path towards the saddle Globoko (1828m), and we continue right towards the saddle Konjsko sedlo. Here we start ascending on the left side of the valley, and view is the most beautiful on Konjski vrh and Bohinjski Migovec. When we reach the saddle we continue left following the signs »Vogel«. After that, the path crosses slopes below Meja (1996). When we will start getting closer to the neighbouring summit – Rušnati vrh (1915 meters), will slopes above us became a little less steep. Here we leave the marked path and we start ascending on the scree right upwards. The slope becomes quite steep, and we reach the ridge without climbing slightly right from Rušnati vrh. On the ridge where we come on an unmarked footpath we continue to the left and on a grassy terrain in few minutes we reach the peak.
