Koča pri Savici - Planina za Migovcem (via Dom na Komni)

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 left (south) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanc and waterfall Slap 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 footpath in the direction of waterfall Savica and Dom na Komni. After a short gentle ascent the path already brings us to a marked crossing, where the tourist path towards the waterfall Savica branches off to the right, and we continue slightly left or straight on the wide path in the direction of Komna. The path ahead is for a short time still ascending by Savica, and then it brings us on the first of 48 marked hairpin turns. After an hour and a half of a moderate ascent through the forest, the path brings us to the mentioned 48th hairpin turn, from which a beautiful view opens up on lake Bohinj. Here the path turns a little to the right and passes into a valley named Pekel, where for some time it is ascending gently, and then turns to the right and it ascends a little steeper again. Already after few 10 strides the path turns left again and is then ascending parallel with the valley. Ahead gentle to moderately steep path, gradually passes into thinner forest, from which we can soon see the mountain hut Dom na Komni. The path ahead leads us past a smaller artificial cave, and higher also past a natural abyss, which is fenced, so that the hikers don't fall in it. Further, the path ascends a little steeper and after few steps of additional walking brings us to a crossing, where the path towards the lake Črno jezero branches off to the right.
We continue straight on a wide path (mule track), which only a little higher brings us to the next crossing. We again continue left (right mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih) on the path which ascends even a little steeper and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Dom na Komni.
From the hut, we continue left in the direction of the mountain pasture Govnjač, Vogel and Mahavšček (right saddle Bogatinsko sedlo and Krn) on the path which soon after the mountain hut starts steeply descending. The path soon flattens and after good 5 minutes from Dom na Komni brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain pasture Govnjač and Vogel (on the mentioned crossing we can continue also straight on a little shorter, but in parts quite an overgrown path, which cuts mountain pasture Govnjač). The path ahead runs on an old military mule track and it is with the exception of few shorter ascents, descending. After approximately 30 minutes of walking from Dom na Komni, we come to the information board on the mentioned mountain pasture.
From the mountain pasture Govnjač we continue sharply left in the direction of Vogel (straight Mahavšček, right mountain hut Koča pod Bogatinom) and we continue on a wide footpath, that is gently ascending towards the east. Next follows a short descent, and then the path starts crossing moderately steep and with dwarf pines vegetated slopes above pastures area named Krošnja. Here from the left joins already mentioned and approximately 15 minutes shorter path from Dom na Komni, and we continue straight and we diagonally ascend on a small saddle between the peaks Mohor and Pleše. Here we cross a grazing fence and we leave plateau Spodnja Komna. The path ahead passes on the east slopes of the peak Mohor, and from the path which is for some time moderately descending, a nice view opens up on Lake Bohinj and Ski hotel on Vogel. When the descent ends, the path turns a little to the right and starts ascending through a lane of bushes. Higher slope flattens, and bushes are replaced by dwarf pines, and footpath turns slightly to the left. Few minutes of easy walking follows on the path which past some karst abysses and cracks, brings us to the mountain pasture Planina za Migovcem, which we recognize by old abandoned border building, larger meadow and poorly visible crossing, where from the left joins unmarked footpath from Ukanška Suha or Ukanc.
