Koča pri Savici - Planina Govnjač

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, we take the Lesce exit 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. We then follow this increasingly narrow road to the large parking lot at Koča pri Savici. The parking lot is chargeable.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the wide footpath in the direction of Slap Savica and Dom na Komni (to the right, the 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 ahead along the wide footpath in the direction of Komna. The path then ascends briefly alongside 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 mentioned 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 more steeply again. After just a few dozen steps, the path turns left again and continues ascending parallel to the valley. Further on, the gentle to moderately steep path gradually transitions into a sparser forest, from which we soon see Dom na Komni. The path then leads us past a small interesting cave, and higher up it brings us to a crossroads, where the path to Črno jezero branches off to the right, but we continue left and proceed further along the wide path. This is followed by 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.
A little further on, the path splits once again, and 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 (to the right, Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih).
This is followed by an ascent past the hut Pri Hubertu and in a few minutes we reach Dom na Komni.
From Dom na Komni, we pass a small chapel, then go left in the direction of Planina Govnjač, Vogel and Mahavšček (to the right, Koča pod Bogatinom, Bogatinsko sedlo and Krn) along the path that soon after the mountain hut begins to descend more steeply and after about five minutes of further walking leads us to a marked crossroads, where we continue right in the direction of Planina Govnjač (slightly left, Vogel and Škrbina).
The path then follows an old military mule track and initially ascends a bit more, then gradually descends. This is followed by a few minutes of walking through the dwarf pines and we arrive at Planina Govnjač, where there are some ruins and an information board.
