Ski hotel Vogel - Rušnati vrh (via Konjsko sedlo)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and then towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue driving towards Lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where we come to an intersection, and continue straight along the left (southern) side of the lake towards Ukanc and Savica Waterfall. 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.

Route description:
At the Ski Hotel, 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 an intersection. Turn onto 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, take the left road following the signs «Pl Zadnji Vogel, Komna». After just a few dozen meters of ascent, a sign on the 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, continue following the signs «Pl. Zadnji Vogel». The road then crosses the Zadnji Vogel cableway and brings us to a junction at Sirarna Zadnji Vogel. Continue straight past the sirarna and follow the signs «Komna» (left branches the path to Vogel). The path then brings us through the bushes into the forest and starts to descend slightly again. To the right, a path branches off towards the valley to 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. The path here starts ascending again and runs mostly over grassy terrain surrounded by sparse bushes. The path slowly starts turning left and brings us to a junction. To the left, the path leads to the Globoko saddle (1828m); we continue right towards Konjsko sedlo. Here we start ascending up the left side of the valley; the view is most beautiful on Konjski vrh and Bohinjski Migovec. When we reach the saddle, continue left following the signs «Vogel». The path then crosses the slopes below the peak Meja (1996). When we start approaching the neighboring peak – Rušnati vrh (1915m), the slopes above us will become somewhat less steep. Here we leave the marked path and start ascending the scree right upward. The slope becomes quite steep, but we reach the ridge without climbing slightly right of Rušnati vrh. On the ridge, where we come to an unmarked path, continue left and over grassy terrain reach the summit in a few minutes.
