Koča pri Savici - Lanževica (via Lepa Komna)

Access to starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. We continue driving towards Bohinjsko jezero (Ribčev laz), at which we arrive at an intersection, where we continue straight along the left (southern) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanc and Slap Savica. Then we follow this increasingly narrow road to the large parking lot at Koča Savica. The parking lot is paid.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the wide footpath in the direction of Slap Savica and Dom na Komni (right path over Komarča). After a short gentle ascent, the path leads us to a marked crossroads, where the tourist path to Slap Savica branches off to the right, but we continue slightly left or straight on the wide footpath in the direction of Komna. The path continues for a short time ascending along the Savica, then leads us to the first of the marked 48 switchbacks. After an hour and a half of moderate ascent through the forest, the path leads us to the aforementioned 48th switchback, from which a beautiful view of Bohinjsko jezero opens up. Here the path turns slightly to the right and enters the valley called Pekel, where it ascends gently for some time, then turns right and ascends somewhat steeper again. After just a few dozen steps, the path turns left again and continues ascending parallel to the valley. The further gentle to moderately steep path gradually enters a sparser forest, from which we soon see Dom na Komni. The path ahead leads us past a small interesting cave, higher up it leads us to a crossroads, where the path to Črno jezero branches off to the right, but we continue left and further on the wide path. There follows some traverse ascent; at the natural abyss, which is fenced for safety, the path turns right, then ascends to the next crossroads, where the path from Črno jezero joins us.
Just a little further, the path splits once more, but we choose the left path in the direction of Dom na Komni, or we can also take the slightly shorter path that continues straight and bypasses Dom na Komni (right Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih).
There follows an ascent past the hut Pri Hubertu and in a few minutes we reach Dom na Komni.
From Dom na Komni, we go past a small chapel and follow the signs for Koča pod Bogatinom (left Vogel, Tolminski Kuk and Planina Govnjač), but we soon merge with the aforementioned slightly shorter path.
We continue slightly left in the direction of Koča pod Bogatinom and along the wide and quite scenic path quickly arrive at Planina na Kraju, where past the pyramid (ossuary at Koča pod Bogatinom - mountain memorial) we reach Koča pod Bogatinom, which is located in the middle of the pasture.
We bypass the hut on the right side and quickly arrive at a marked crossroads, where we leave the wide path that continues towards Bogatinsko sedlo and continue the path to the right in the direction of Lanževica, Planina za Skalo and Soča. In the continuation, we first gently, then moderately ascend through the dwarf pines and after about 20 minutes of walking from Koča pod Bogatinom we arrive at Turška vratca, where the path flattens.
The path ahead leads us through a series of small valleys of the Lepa Komna plateau and only occasionally ascends slightly, otherwise the path is quite gentle. Later we arrive at the edge of the abandoned Planina Poljanica, where an unmarked path branches off to the right towards Mala vratca, but we continue on the marked path, which splits a few minutes further.
We continue left in the direction of Lanževica (right Soča and Planina za Skalo via Oslova škrbina) and continue the path on the old military mule track, which except for a few stone bridges or passages is already quite overgrown. In the continuation, we semi-circle around a grassy sinkhole, then begin ascending through the valley between Vrh nad Gracijo on the left and Lanževica on the right. In the lower part the still quite grassy valley higher becomes more rocky, when we leave the valley we merge with the path that leads over Bogatinsko sedlo, or Vratca.
We continue right towards Lanževica (on the left path we can return to the starting point via a partially circular path) and begin ascending along the increasingly scenic and quite wide southeastern ridge of Lanževica, whose summit we reach after about 20 minutes of further walking.
