Yesterday on Veliki Bogatin aka Mahavšček. At 9:30 at Savica parking, few cars, also on Komna very few people. Dom closed until 15.12., as per PZS site. Through Gracija valley to Bogatinsko sedlo and under Mali Bogatin to Mahavšček summit. Morning dull cloudy, just before summit it cleared up, views wonderful. From B. sedlo onwards the wind was blowing with full force. So short stop at summit, then back same way. Below B. sedlo wind calmed, further sunny, warm, anyway as always nice. Just above hut under Bogatin we met a fox. It worried me a bit, because I don't know how to deal with such beasts.
Water falls over Komarče in several waterfalls, Savica roars to the last upper bend. Really noticeable that it rained the day before. Safe and happy to all. nasmeh

First view towards the snow-covered Triglav

View from the path to the sea, clouds breaking

The path to the summit is nicely and densely marked and well trodden

Summit of Mahavšček with view to the east

To the west, snow-covered Mangart and Jalovec, distant views to unknown mountains

Return through the sunlit Gracija Valley

Snapshot on the return, lake already in shadow

On Sunday, 6. 7. 2025, from Savica to the hut on Komna and further via Planina Govnjač to Veliki Bogatin. Planina Govnjač is deserted, full of flowers, gentian prevails in the head of the valley. We didn't go via the shortcut, but along the path on the edge of the valley. The path disappears in places, but it presents no problem. With the ascent, increasingly beautiful views accompanying you all the way to the top of Mahavšček. Very windy at the summit, otherwise great viewpoint. Weather changing, but no rain. We didn't meet anyone on the path except observed two marmots, one of which wasn't in a hurry anywhere. Even snow in one cirque, which is obviously a fixture on this path.
Circular return via Bogatinski sedlo to the hut below Bogatin, where we ate a tasty lunch and were the only guests. Interesting and beautiful path. nasmeh

Signposts in front of remains of military buildings.

As we ascend, scree fields in the valley of Triglav Lakes come into view.

View back, the snowfield is already far away

Traverse and at the end of the trail Bogatin

Circular return past the hut below Bogatin

Has anyone hiked towards the saddle these days? Would it be possible to go on Saturday? Thanks.

Well, we tackled it on Sunday. Start from Savica at 4:30. We put on crampons at switchback 43. Quick continuation to the hut under Bogatin and towards the saddle. Before the saddle we branch left, walk under Bogatin and, when we're right under the summit of Mahavšček, we head almost directly to the top. Real suffering due to snow sinking. A bit to the right under the summit we reach the ridge where the snow is hard. At 9:00 we're at the top. We descend along the ridge further and when it ends we turn left and walk under Mahavšček, again towards the saddle and before the saddle right, back the same way. Rest in the hut under Bogatin and return to the car at 13:30. Nice tour and new two-thousander.

29.07. 2026. Lepena- Behind Lepoče and off-trail to Mahavšček or Veliki Bogatin. To the northernmost peak in the ridge. We didn't even think that this off-trail part would be so long. Or rather we didn't know how it was routed. The path is marked on some maps. But we didn't find a description. We missed the Trenta fairy tale about Zlatorog. Because we didn't go to the neighboring slightly lower Bogatin. On the way we still nasmeh

found treasures of beauty and exciting experiences. We visited the barracks behind Lepoče which was used by the Italian border guard. We stopped at the monument to the nine soldiers buried by an avalanche. Next viewing one of the four concrete fortifications that we hadn't seen yet. The stairs are in poor condition though. We looked inside. Continuation off-trail to the summit of Mahavšček where everything was unknown to us. We descended by the usual path to Bogatinsko sedlo and by the ascent path to Lepena. The tour wasn't short either. We walked 23 km. The watch showed 1600 meters of elevation.
