Koča pri Savici - Kanjavec (via Triglavska jezera)

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 you reach a crossroads, from which you continue straight along the left (southern) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanc and the Savica Waterfall. Then follow this increasingly narrow road to the large parking lot at the Savica Lodge. The parking lot is chargeable.

Path description:
From the parking lot, head right towards Black Lake, the Triglav Lakes Hut and the Zlatorog Hotel (straight to Savica Waterfall and the Dom na Komni). The path initially leads along a gravel road that crosses the Savica River via a bridge. Just a little after the bridge, the signs for Komarča direct us left (straight to Zlatorog Hotel) onto an initially quite wide and relatively gentle forest path. However, the path soon begins to ascend more steeply and brings us a bit higher to a point where the path to the source of the Savica and the Velika Savica Cave branches off to the left, while we continue right along the increasingly steep path.
The well-maintained and relatively wide mountain path soon transitions to the very steep and slippery slopes of Komarča, where there is also a high risk of falling rocks. The path continues steeply ascending through the mostly forested wall of Komarča, where safety features, especially wire cables, assist us at the more difficult sections.
Higher up, some views towards Bohinj open from the path, and it leads us to a short technically demanding section where, with the help of pegs and a wire cable, we cross a gully that is not particularly exposed. The path continues to ascend steeply for a while longer and, with the aid of some safety features, brings us to the edge of Komarča, from where a beautiful view opens to our starting point. A short moderately steep ascent follows, after which the path begins to descend gently towards Black Lake, which we reach in 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, while we continue slightly left and proceed along the marked path that bypasses Black Lake on the right side. On the other side of the lake, the path from Dom na Komni joins from the left, and we continue along a relatively gentle path that runs along the edge of the Lopučniška Valley. Higher up, the path begins to ascend moderately and brings us along the edge of overhanging cliffs to a small spring, which 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, after which the path levels out and brings us to a marked junction where the path from Planina Blato via Prode joins from the right. We continue left towards the Triglav Lakes Hut and proceed along a relatively gentle path, arriving at Double Lake in ten minutes of further walking. The marked path bypasses the lake on the right side and brings us to a junction before reaching the other side, where the path to Štapci and Mali Tičarica branches off to the right.
Here we continue straight and arrive at the Triglav Lakes Hut in a few minutes of further walking.
From the hut, continue towards Triglav, Dolič, Hribarice, Prehodavci and Veliki Špič, where the path first leads past the dam and the artificial Močivec Lake. The path bypasses the lake on the right, eastern side and then ascends moderately through the Valley of Triglav Lakes, which is overgrown with increasingly sparse forest.
Still in the belt of sparse forest, the path forks, and we continue along the slightly right path towards Prehodavci and Hribarice (left path to Velika or Lepa Špičja via the Zgornje Komne plateau) which first leads through sparse larch forest, then under the scree of the mighty Kopica and later Male Zelnarice. Later, the path ascends a bit more and brings us to a small pass from which a beautiful view opens to the Lake in Ledvice.
The marked path bypasses the mentioned lake on the right side, continuing through extensive scree at the foot of both Zelnarice. After the lake, the path returns from the scree to the Valley of Triglav Lakes, along which we continue a relatively gentle ascent. The already fully alpine path ascends more steeply for a short time higher up, then levels out completely and brings us to Green Lake in a few minutes of further walking.
At Green Lake, continue right towards Triglav, Dolič and Hribarice (straight to Rjavo Lake and Prehodavci) and begin ascending towards the scree under Poprovec, where the path from Prehodavci joins from the left, leading past Rjavo Lake, while we continue right towards Hribarice.
A traverse ascent across the scree to the right follows; when we reach the valley below Hribarice, we join the path leading over the Vrata Pass (path along the Za Kopico valley or along the Zelnarice ridge).
Continue left towards Triglav, Dolič, Kanjavec and Hribarice (right to Vrata Pass) and begin ascending towards the Hribarice plateau. At the beginning of the Hribarice plateau, the first path towards Kanjavec branches off to the left.
Here we leave the path towards the Dolič Hut and Triglav and continue slightly left towards Kanjavec.
The path further leads us into a smaller and relatively steep valley located between the two peaks of Kanjavec. The increasingly scenic path continuing through the aforementioned valley levels out higher up and brings us to the saddle between the western and eastern peak of Kanjavec.
Here continue right (left to the western peak along an unmarked trail) and in a few minutes ascend to the scenic and precipitous summit.
