Koča pri Savici - Glava za Bajto (via Dvojno jezero)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue the drive towards Lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we arrive at a junction, continuing straight along the left (south) side of the lake towards Ukanc and Savica Waterfall. Follow this increasingly narrow road to the large parking lot at Koča pri Savici. The parking lot is paid.

Route description:
From the parking lot we head right in the direction of Črno jezero, Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Hotel Zlatorog (straight Slap Savica and Dom na Komni). The path first leads along a gravel road which crosses the Savica river over a bridge. Just a little after the bridge the signs for Komarča direct us left (straight Hotel Zlatorog) onto a path that is initially still quite wide and relatively gentle forest path. The path soon begins to ascend more steeply and brings us somewhat higher to the place where the path to the source of Savica and the Velika Savica cave branches off to the left, and we continue right along the increasingly steep path.
The well-maintained and relatively wide mountain path soon enters the very steep and slippery slopes of Komarča, where there is also a high risk of falling rocks. The path ahead ascends steeply through the mostly forested wall of Komarča, where safety gear, mainly wire ropes, assist us on the more difficult sections.
Higher up, some views towards Bohinj open from the path, and the path brings us to a short technically demanding spot where with the help of pegs and wire rope we cross a gully that is not particularly exposed. The path continues steeply ascending for some time and with the aid of some protections brings us to the edge of Komarča, from where a nice view of our starting point opens. A short moderately steep ascent follows, then the path begins to descend gently towards Črno jezero, which we reach after less than five minutes of further walking.
Near the lake there is a marked junction where the path to Planina Viševnik and Pršivec branches off to the right, we continue slightly left and follow the marked path which bypasses Črno jezero on the right side. On the other side of the lake the path from Dom na Komni joins from the left, we continue along the relatively gentle path which continues along the edge of Lopučniška dolina. Higher up the path begins to ascend moderately and along the edge of overhanging cliffs brings us to a small spring, which however dries up in dry periods.
We continue along the marked path, which near Bela skala turns sharply right and ascends steeply. A few minutes of steep ascent follow, then the path levels out and brings us to a marked junction where the path from Planina Blato, specifically the path over Prode, joins from the right. We continue left in the direction of Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and follow the relatively gentle path along which we arrive at Dvojno jezero in ten minutes of further walking. The marked path bypasses the lake on the right side and before we reach the other side brings us to a junction where the path to Štapci and Mali Tičarici branches off to the right.
Here we continue straight and in a few minutes of further walking arrive at Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih.
After resting and enjoying the views, we continue the path in the direction of Dom na Komni. The path ahead leads along the right (western) side of the lake and ascends transversely. A little further, near the hunting hut which is not visible from the path, the path curves semicircularly right and gradually begins to descend. Somewhere in the middle of the descent towards Planina Lopučnica, on a small flat area where the marked path we follow turns left, an unmarked trail branches off to the right leading towards the plateau of Zgornje Komne and Gladki and Debelem Laštu (the mentioned path gets lost higher up in the karst world).
When we reach Planina Lopučnica lower down, where there is a junction, we continue right in the direction of Planina Za skalo (slightly left Dom na Komni) along a poorly maintained path that crosses the slopes of the pasture towards the northwest. The path, which runs among tall grasses (in summer months) somewhat higher crosses a belt of sparse forest and then turns somewhat to the left. The path ahead ascends steeply and brings us in a few minutes of further walking to the karst world of scree and gravel. Here the path levels out and begins to disappear in the rocky world (carefully follow the marks). On this section a wonderful view opens to the mountains surrounding Dolina Triglavskih jezer. We then follow the marked path only to the pass Velika vrata, which we reach after a few more minutes of gentle ascent.
On the other side of Velika vrata we leave the already little frequented path and continue right through pathless terrain. Initially the passages between the bushes and gravelly terrain are relatively easy, as the "path" is helped by cairns, which are admittedly rare. We continue the ascent roughly in the direction north, but there are no direct passages due to the karst world. Due to crevices we occasionally have to make quite a large detour. When the "path" finally brings us to the ridge, the orientation loops end. We continue the ascent along the increasingly scenic ridge, and the "path" quickly brings us to the indistinct summit of Glava za Bajto.
