Koča pri Savici - Vodnikov Vršac (Vršac nad Zadnjico)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then follow the signs for Bohinjsko jezero. We bypass the lake on the left, southern side, passing the Vogel ski slope parking lot, and drive to Koča pri Savici, where we park in the paid parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, head right towards Črno jezero, Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Hotel Zlatorog (straight Savica Waterfall and Dom na Komni). The path initially leads along a gravel road that crosses the Savica River over a bridge. Just after the bridge, signs for Komarča direct us left (straight to Hotel Zlatorog) onto an initially quite wide and relatively gentle forest path. The path soon begins to climb more steeply and higher up brings us to the point where the path to the Savica spring and Velika Savica cave branches left; we continue right on the increasingly steep path.
The well-maintained and relatively wide mountain path soon enters very steep and slippery slopes of Komarča, with high risk of falling rocks. The path continues steeply up the mostly forested wall of Komarča, with safety equipment, mainly cables, assisting on difficult sections.
Higher up, views open towards Bohinj from the path, which leads to a short technically demanding spot where pegs and a cable help cross a not very exposed gully. The path climbs steeply a bit longer with some safety gear and reaches the edge of Komarča, offering a nice view of the starting point. A short moderately steep ascent follows, then the path gently descends to Črno jezero, reached in less than five minutes.
Near the lake is a marked junction where the path to Planina Viševnik and Pršivec branches right; we go slightly left along the marked path bypassing Črno jezero on the right. On the other side, the path from Dom na Komni joins from the left; we continue on the relatively gentle path along the edge of Lopučniška dolina. Higher, it ascends moderately along overhanging cliffs to a small spring that dries in dry periods.
Continue on the marked path, which near Bela skala turns sharply right and climbs steeply. After a few minutes of steep ascent, it levels and reaches a marked junction where the path from Planina Blato via Prode joins from the right. Continue left towards Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih on a relatively gentle path, reaching Dvojno jezero in ten minutes. The marked path bypasses the lake on the right and before the other side reaches a junction where the path to Štapci and Mala Tičarica branches right.
Here go straight and reach Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih in a few minutes.
From the hut continue towards Triglav, Dolič, Hribarice, Prehodavci and Veliko Špičje, first past the dam and artificial Močivec lake. The path bypasses the lake on the right, eastern side and moderately ascends through Dolina Triglavskih jezer with increasingly sparse forest.
In the sparse forest belt, the path forks; take the slightly right one towards Prehodavci and Hribarice (left to Veliko or Lepo Špičje via Zgornje Komne plateau), leading through sparse larch forest, then under screes of Kopica and later Male Zelnarice. Later it ascends more to a small pass with a nice view of Jezero v Ledvicah.
The marked path bypasses the lake on the right over extensive screes at the foot of both Zelnarice. After the lake, it returns to Dolina Triglavskih jezer for a relatively gentle ascent. The fully alpine path climbs steeply briefly higher up, then levels and reaches Zeleno jezero in a few minutes.
From Zeleno jezero go straight towards Prehodavci (right Hribarice, Dolič and Triglav); the path forks soon again.
Take the left one ascending directly to Zasavska koča (right past Rjavo jezero, 1-2 minutes longer) and after a few minutes reach the indistinct ridge separating Gorenjska from Primorska (Plate area).
Here go right to Zasavska koča (left Veliko Špičje, straight down to Trenta) past the winter bivouac to Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih in a few easy minutes.
From the hut go northeast, descending slightly first. The path reaches a junction where right leads to drinking water.
The path ascends again, crossing slopes above Jezero pod Vršacem, then steeper to the saddle between Kanjavec and Vodnikov Vršac.
From the saddle continue a few dozen meters on the marked descending path. Leave it and go left off-trail on easy grassy slopes with some cairns for orientation. After short ascent, reach south slopes of the peak and ascend the scenic slope to the summit.
