Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica, Ribčev Laz and ski slope Vogel. We park on a large settled parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway on Vogel.
Path description:
Below bottom station of the cableway on Vogel we notice a forest road (in the winter time ski track), which starts moderately ascending towards the west. The path ahead is for some time gently to moderately ascending, and then it brings us out of the forest on a panoramic slope, from where a beautiful view opens up on Komarča, Pršivec and Lake Bohinj.
After that the road starts turning more and more to the left and is becoming steeper and steeper. Higher, we continue on a relatively steep ski track, on which all the time leads worse and gravel transport road. After a time the road or ski track for some time flattens, and then it again steeply ascends and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Ski hotel on Vogel (straight bottom station of two-seater chairlift Zadnji Vogel).
Only a little further, we get to the next crossing, where we continue right towards the mountain pasture Zadnji Vogel (slightly left Ski hotel on Vogel and mountain hut Planinska koča Merjasec). On ski track we walk a little less than 10 minutes and the path brings us to cheese cottage on the mountain pasture Zadnji Vogel.
From the mountain pasture Zadnji Vogel we continue slightly right in the direction of Komna and Vogel, and the path towards Komna we follow only few 10 meters, after that caption on rock for Vogel, points us left on a moderately ascending path. The path ahead is ascending through a lane of dwarf pines, and then descends in pleasant grassy valley. Next follows a gentle ascent on the mentioned small valley, and then the path starts moderately ascending. A little higher we get to a marked crossing, where it says left saddle Šija, right Vogel. Here we continue left or right, because both paths after few minutes again join. From the spot, when both paths join, only a short ascent follows and the path brings us to the next crossing.
Here we continue straight upwards in the direction of Vogel (left Šija, right Komna) and we continue the ascent on the path, on which we quickly get to a saddle (1668 meters), which borders on Primorska and from which a nice view opens up on Primorska side.
Here from the left joins the path from Šija, and we continue slightly right on a marked footpath in the direction of Vogel. Further, we short time continue on the ridge and then the path turns slightly to the right, where passes into a lane of dwarf pines. Dwarf pines quickly ends, and a moderately steep path leads over some slopes, and then returns on the ridge, where for a short time steeply ascends. Next follows a short little exposed passage, and then the path passes on the northern slopes of Vogel, where in the early summer we can run into snow fields. After the crossing of slope below Vogel, the path ascends a little steeper and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue sharply left in the direction of Vogel (straight Globoko and Komna). Next follows an ascent to the saddle between Vogel and Vrh Krnic, from which a nice view opens up on Primorska side. Here we continue left on a panoramic ridge, on which we ascend in few minutes to the summit of 1922 meters high Vogel.
