Depends on fitness and time for breaks/photographing. More than 10h I'd say.

I for (probably) shorter tour (Koča pri Savici-Tičarice-Zelnarica-Kanjavec-Prehodavci-V. Špičje-Koča pri Savici) needed ca. 11.5h from car to car. But it was summer, so long day and no rush.
Now we have autumn and would need to speed up to get back to the car in daylight. But why rush the nice pace on such a beautiful tour; especially in autumn Triglav Valley is too kitschy* and deserves a longer visit. Better take a 2-day long tour nasmeh

*kitschy - in the good sense of the word nasmeh

The post is probably a bit outdated regarding current weather, as Thursday and Friday were completely different from yesterday on descent to the valley, but anyway...
We started at Savica on Thursday morning and climbed via Komarča. It was quite wet, as it rained the previous day. From Black Lake onwards (some brave ones even dipped in cold water there) along Lopučniška valley we had to be careful, rocks wet and muddy. At Seven Lakes already some people, mostly foreigners. Original plan was to cross Tičarice and Zelnarice, but fog was hanging over summits, so we chose valley variant. Nice marmot rewards us with posing near Ledvička... At Green Lake we turn right towards Hribarice and since fog clears, we head over Kanjavec to Dolič. On ascent to summit marks faded and hard to follow, so a bit by feel. Excellently newly marked on the other side to Dolič... where we overnight. Hut full of people.
Morning clear, we wait for one of last helicopter deliveries and instead of summit head towards Trenta to junction for Kanjavec ledges. Path for gourmets, offering superb views... on ledge we chase away king with big horns - no slip for him nasmeh
Path really narrow in places, sometimes need to bend, via ferrata gear carried unnecessarily, as cables only at two spots. They say no headache from summit velik nasmeh
Descent on scree steep path to Prehodavci spiced by black slug, first time I saw one. First was ca 3cm, good didn't step on it nasmeh Some gentians still blooming.
Since day still perfect, decide to cross Lepo Špičje too... again views to fall into, path interesting, bit exposed, end 2 cables on descent from Veliko Špičje. Caution needed whole way, especially descent on very steep grass.
Since Saturday forecast rainy, continued to Hut under Bogatin. This one drags like spring snake... bit down, bit up... left right through impenetrable forest, at moments feel like walking in circle velik nasmeh
Finally spot cute hut that served as hospital in WWI. Locals preparing memorial mass for 100th anniversary of war end. If you don't know, they have best struklji in world !!!
Weather spoiled it, rain started before 8am, so didn't wait for mass. On descent met priest, who probably prayed too little previous day for nice weather or prayed for rain so no need to go up velik nasmeh
Driving by Bohinj lake home, pouring like from bucket, but memory superb tour, new acquaintances and friendly staff of all four huts...

Yesterday from Blato pasture to Dedno polje pasture. There turned into valley behind Kopica. Path to saddle Vrata dry, snow only few meters and not steep.
From saddle Vrata traversed on traverse under Vršaki. This path also snow-free.
Descent to valley of Triglav Lakes and on to Double Lake.
Whole path now real botanical garden. Flowers blooming already that usually only end of July.
Return via Fužinar pastures to car, where last half hour decent rain soaked us.

On Monday there was perfect weather for viewing all the Triglav Lakes. Around 6:30 at Blato there was barely any free spot left (well, along the road there were), the path to Pl. pri Jezeru went in pleasant shade. From there mostly sun, except here and there in the Za Kopico valley, where we scared a curious chamois and met very few people. At Vratih we decide to go to Zelnarica too, where we haven't been yet. Good decision, the path really takes no more than 1 hour with photos and all. To Zasavska koča it drags a bit, as I know, especially down by the lakes like in a kettle. Hot. Gibanica and drink at the hut were great. Down the valley to Dvojno jezero we amused ourselves with searching for marmots, full of them. On the screes under Tičarice a family amused us for a long time, the kids curious and not obeying the retreat whistles. Pity only because the path there was very busy, which scared them anyway. At Koča pri Dvojnem jezeru we see they care only for beer stocks, so we continue towards Črno jezero. Legs already tired, steep step descents in the first part unnecessary. Little water in the lakes, it shows a lot in Črno. We go on, first time on the path to Planina Viševnik. Once I read here that the path is boring and muddy. Well, in this drought we met no bad mud, the path passed quite fast too. At Bregarjevo zavetišče some tourists playing with cows, so we go on here too - or back, however you take it - to Planina pri Jezeru. There we finally treat ourselves to a drink and before dark catches us we are at the car. Home in pitch darknasmeh
