Pod Zjabci - Travnik

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving over the Vršič pass towards Bovec. Soon after the Berebica gallery, we arrive in the village of 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 straight on the ascending asphalt road. Further on, we ascend over vast meadows, in the middle of which stand a few individual huts, then the road enters the forest. Higher up, the road turns sharply left and brings us to Pod Zjabcev, where we notice mountain signposts for Planina Za skalo, Dom na Komni and Triglav Lakes. We park in a suitable spot by the road.
B) From the Primorska side, we first drive to Bovec, then continue towards Trenta. Towards the end of the village of Soča, we turn right in the direction of the tourist farm Jelinčič and camp Korita. After the bridge, we do not turn left towards the camp, but continue straight on the ascending asphalt road. Further on, we ascend over vast meadows, in the middle of which stand a few individual huts, then the road enters the forest. Higher up, the road turns sharply left and brings us to Pod Zjabcev, where we notice mountain signposts for Planina Za skalo, Dom na Komni and Triglav Lakes. We park in a suitable spot by the road.

Path description:
From Pod Zjabci we head onto the marked path that 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 a 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 that is already quite eroded in several places, and this brings us higher to a short steep rocky section. A well-maintained and wide mule track leads us through this section, and the path above it brings us to a vantage point from which a beautiful view opens onto Bavški Grintavec.
From the vantage point, 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; a somewhat steeper path then brings us, after 10 minutes of further walking, to the next junction, which is this time completely unmarked. Here a 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, while we continue straight to the next nearby junction, which is somewhat better marked.
Here we continue left towards Planina Za skalo (straight ahead the path continues to Komna and the Triglav Lakes) along the path that crosses the slopes to the left. Soon we step out of the forest, where the trail descends slightly to the left (here another trail, not mentioned in the description, joins from the left), but we continue along the initially clearly visible trail that descends to Planina Za skalo and the TNP hut there.
From the mountain pasture we return a little and ahead of us on the slope we notice a trail that ascends across the scree towards Travnikova dolina. We head onto this unmarked trail, which ascends over already slightly overgrown scree. The path then transitions to a grassy slope, turns slightly right and ascends steeply. On this section of the path a steel cable assists us. The path then becomes less steep and continues along the grassy slope past increasingly sparse trees. The trail then runs along the right side of the valley, where on our right we notice the entrance to an abyss. We continue ascending up the valley and soon a view opens towards Čelo on the right side. On this section the trail becomes increasingly hard to follow, but orientation is not overly difficult as we simply continue up the wide valley. Ahead we can already see the summit of Travnik. When the valley starts turning right, we head left and begin ascending steep grass towards Travniška škrbina (the saddle left of Travnik). The summit of Travnik can also be reached via the saddle at the end of the valley on the right side of Travnik. Upon reaching Travniška škrbina we turn right and continue up the panoramic ridge to the summit of Travnik.
