Koča pri Savici - Triglav (via Triglavska jezera)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. We continue driving towards the lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight on the left (south) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanc and waterfall Savica. This more and more narrow road, we then follow to a large parking lot at the mountain hut Savica. The parking lot is payable.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go right in the direction of the lake Črno jezero, mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Hotel Zlatorog. The path at first leads on a macadam road which over a bridge crosses the river Savica. Only a little after the bridge, signs for Komarča point us to the left (straight Hotel Zlatorog) on at first quite wide and relatively gentle forest path. The path soon starts ascending steeper and a little higher brings us to the spot, where the path towards the source of Savica branches off to the left, and we continue right on the more and more steep path.
Well maintained and relatively wide mountain path, soon passes on very steep and for slipping dangerous slopes of Komarča (there's also a great danger of falling stones). The path ahead is steeply ascending on mostly forested wall of Komarča, where on harder spots we have fixed safety gear for help (mainly steel cables).
Higher from the path some views open up towards Bohinj, and the path brings us to short technically demanding spot, where with the help of stemples and a steel cable we cross otherwise not very exposed gully. The path ahead is for some time still steeply ascending and with the help of some fixed safety gear brings us to the top of Komarča, from where a beautiful view opens up on our starting point. Next follows a short moderately steep ascent, and then the path starts gently descending towards the lake Črno jezero, which we reach after less than 5 minutes of additional walking.
Near the lake is marked crossing, where the path towards the mountain pasture Viševnik branches off to the right, and we go slightly left and we continue on a marked path, which on the right side bypasses lake Črno jezero. On the other side of the lake from the left joins the path from the mountain hut Dom na Komni, and we continue on a relatively gently sloping path which continues by the edge of valley Lopučniška dolina. Higher, the path starts moderately ascending and by the edge of overhung cliffs, brings us to a smaller well, which in dry periods dries up.
We continue on a marked path, and which near Bela skala turns sharply to the right and steeply ascends. Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent, and then the path flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing, where from the right side joins the path from the mountain pasture Blato. We continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and we continue on a relatively gently sloping path, on which in 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the lake Dvojno jezero. The marked path bypasses the lake on the right side and before we come on the other side brings us to a crossing, where the path towards Štapce branches off to the right.
Here we continue straight and in few minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih.
From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Prehodavci and Hribarice and we continue past the artificial lake Močivec. Already immediately behind the lake path starts moderately ascending on a less and less vegetated valley. Pleasant and a panoramic path then leads us through the valley of Dolina Triglavskih jezer, and it quickly brings us to a marked crossing, where the path on Veliko or Lepo Špičje branches off to the left.
We continue in the direction of Prehodavci and we continue on a relatively gently sloping path, which at first crosses a lane of thin larch forest and then we continue on a pleasant small valley. The path ahead moderately ascends and brings us on a smaller saddle, from which a nice view opens up on lake Jezero v Ledvicah.
The marked path mentioned lake bypasses on the right side, where continues on extensive scree by the foot of the both peaks of Zelnarica. Behind the lake path from scree returns in the valley of Dolina Triglavskih jezer, on which we continue relatively gently sloping ascent. Already entirely high mountain path, higher ascends steeper for a short time, after that entirely flattens and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the lake Zeleno jezero.
Immediately after the lake signs for Hribarice point us to the right upward (left Prehodavci). Further, we are ascending on the scree towards Hribarice. After approximately half an hour of ascent from the lake from the right joins the path from the valley Za Kopico. We continue straight upwards on stone path, which brings us on ample slopes of Hribarice. On Hribarice are two crossings in both we go straight (both left Kanjavec). Next follows a crossing of plateau Hribarice to a saddle Čez Hribarice. The path ahead starts descending on the scree downwards towards the saddle Dolič. After half an hour of descent follows light ascent to a saddle, where there is the next crossing. We continue left towards the mountain hut Koča na Doliču, which we already see in front of us (right Velo polje), and we come there after light 5 minutes descent.
From the mountain hut, we continue right towards the west and we continue the ascent on a mule track, which is relatively steeply ascending. After a half an hour of walking from the mountain hut terrain flattens and the path doesn't gain altitude anymore. Now in front of us, we clearly see Triglav. Further, we walk in the direction of Triglav on karst terrain, where caution is needed, that we don't step into some hole and twist a leg. Further, we come to a crossing, where the path from Plemenice joins. We continue right on the scree upwards all the way to the wall. The path ahead with the help of numerous fixed safety gear ascends diagonally and brings us below the notch Triglavska škrbina. Further, we ascend to the notch, where we come to a crossing. We continue left upwards (straight downwards Planika) on a steep but well-secured path. After few minutes, the steepness decreases and to the top there is only few minutes of ascent on the upper slope of Triglav.
