Ski hotel Vogel - Dom na Komni

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway, we take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. We continue driving towards Bohinj Lake (Ribčev laz), where we come to an intersection, and continue straight along the left (south) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanc and Savica Waterfall. We follow this road to the lower station of the Vogel cable car, then buy a ticket and take the cable car to the upper station, which is the starting point for our tour.

Path description:
At the Ski Hotel we turn right (towards the west) and continue on the macadam road that goes past the mountain hut Merjasec. The road starts to descend slightly and brings us to a junction. We take the right road following the signs »Komna, Sirarna Zadnji Vogel«. The road continues to descend slightly and soon we are at another junction. This time we take the left road following the signs »Pl Zadnji Vogel, Komna«. Already after a few dozen meters of ascent, a sign on a rock (Vogel) directs us onto a footpath that goes right into the forest. The path through the forest runs parallel to the road and starts to descend slightly. When we rejoin the road, we continue following the signs »Pl. Zadnji Vogel«. The road then crosses the Zadnji Vogel cableway and brings us to a junction at the Sirarna Zadnji Vogel. We continue straight past the sirarna and follow the signs »Komna« (to the left, the path to Vogel branches off). The path then brings us through dwarf pines into the forest and starts to descend slightly again. To the right, a path branches off that leads into the valley towards the Hotel Zlatorog; we continue on the left path, which soon takes us out of the forest and beautiful views open up on the surrounding peaks. Here the path starts to ascend again and runs mostly over grassy terrain surrounded by sparse dwarf pines. The path slowly starts to turn left and brings us to a junction. To the left, the path leads towards the saddle Globoko (1828m); we continue right towards Konjsko sedlo. Here we start ascending up the left side of the valley, with the finest view on Konjski vrh and Bohinjski Migovec. When we reach the saddle, we continue right following the signs »Komna« (to the left, the path leads towards Vogel). From the saddle, the path starts to descend and crosses the slopes on the west side of Bohinjski Migovec (1901m). Soon we are at another junction. To the left, the path leads towards Škrbina (1910m) and further towards the Koča na Planini Razor hut; we continue right mostly over grassy terrain surrounded by sparse dwarf pines. The path turns slightly right and the dwarf pines become denser. We continue descending slightly and on the right side a wonderful view opens up towards Bohinj Lake. Here the path turns left and starts to ascend slightly again through the dwarf pines. Soon we come to another junction where we turn right following the signs »Komna 45min« (to the left, the path leads towards Planina Govnjač). There follow a few shorter ascents and descents along a narrow trail. The surroundings here are very overgrown and there are not many views. When we reach the next junction, we turn right and only a few minutes of ascent remain to the hut.
