Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then we continue driving over the Vršič pass towards Bovec. Soon after the Berebica gallery, we arrive in the village Soča, where we turn left over the bridge across the Soča River (direction tourist farm Jelinčič and camp Korita). After the bridge, we do not turn left towards the camp, but continue driving straight on the ascending asphalt road. Further, we ascend over vast meadows, in the middle of which stand some individual huts, then the road enters the forest. Higher, the road turns quite to the left and brings us to Pod Zjabcev, where we notice mountain signposts for Planina Za skalo, Dom na Komni and Triglavska jezera. We park in an appropriate place by the road.
B) From the Primorska side, we first drive to Bovec, then continue driving towards Trenta. Towards the end of the village Soča, we turn right in the direction of tourist farm Jelinčič and camp Korita. After the bridge, we do not turn left towards the camp, but continue driving straight on the ascending asphalt road. Further, we ascend over vast meadows, in the middle of which stand some individual huts, then the road enters the forest. Higher, the road turns quite to the left and brings us to Pod Zjabcev, where we notice mountain signposts for Planina Za skalo, Dom na Komni and Triglavska jezera. We park in an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From Pod Zjabcev we head onto the marked path, which bypasses the nearby huts on the right side. Behind the huts, the path goes into the forest and quickly brings us to a smaller junction, where we continue right over the stream. On the other side of the stream, the path turns left and begins to ascend moderately through dense forest. We continue the ascent along an old mule track, which is already quite eroded in several places, and which higher up brings us to a short steep rocky section. A well-maintained and wide mule track leads us through the mentioned section, and the path above it brings us to a viewpoint from which a beautiful view of Bavški Grintavec opens up.
From the viewpoint, the path returns to the forest and quickly ascends to an old water trough (there is a small spring by the path here, which dries up in dry periods). Above the trough, the path turns slightly left, then ascends in numerous zigzags through the forest. Higher up, the trail levels out somewhat and brings us to a less noticeable junction, where an abandoned path to Planina Za skalo branches off to the left.
From here we continue straight ahead, and a somewhat steeper path brings us, after 10 minutes of further walking, to the next junction, which is this time completely unmarked. Here, an unmarked trail branches off to the right leading to the nearby hunting hut and further to Planina za Črnim vrhom; to the left, a hunting path branches off to Planina Za skalo; we continue straight to the nearby next junction, which is somewhat better marked.
Here we continue straight or slightly right along the marked path in the direction of Triglavska jezera and Komna. We continue along the gentle path, which through the coniferous forest brings us to a path fork.
From the fork, we continue on the right path in the direction of Komna (left Triglavska jezera), which bypasses Dol za Bajarjem on the right side. On the other side of the valley, the path begins first gently, then more steeply to ascend. The steepness quickly eases, and an increasingly scenic path brings us into a series of smaller valleys, through which we gently ascend to Oslova škrbina.
From Oslova škrbina, the marked path begins to descend towards the Lepa Komna plateau. During the descent, a few unmarked trails branch off to the right (old military mule tracks that, if we are heading to Lanževica, shorten the path by over 20 minutes); we follow the marked path, which lower down brings us to a marked junction.
From the junction, we continue straight in the direction of Dom na Komni (sharply right to Lanževica) along the path that crosses a belt of dwarf pines, then brings us to a less noticeable junction, where an unmarked path branches off to the left towards Poljanica and further towards Mala vrata or Planina na Kalu and Triglavska jezera. Further on, the fairly level path, which rises slightly a few times but otherwise mostly descends gently, continues across a series of several smaller valleys. When the valleys end, a somewhat longer descent follows, and the path brings us to Planina na Kraju, from where we continue left towards the nearby mountain hut.
