Ski hotel Vogel - Zeleni vrh

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue driving towards Lake Bohinj (Ribčev laz), where you arrive at a junction and continue straight along the left (southern) side of the lake in the direction of 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.

Path description:
At the Ski Hotel, turn right (towards the west) and continue on the macadam road that passes the mountain hut Merjasec. The road begins to descend slightly and leads us to a junction. 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 take the left road following the signs «Pl Zadnji Vogel, Komna». Already after 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 begins to descend slightly. When we rejoin the road, continue following the signs «Pl. Zadnji Vogel». The road then crosses the Zadnji Vogel cableway and leads us to the junction at Sirarna Zadnji Vogel.
Continue straight past the sirarna and follow the signs «Komna» (left branches the path to Vogel). The path then through the dwarf pines leads us into the forest and begins to descend slightly again. To the right branches a path that leads into the valley towards the Zlatorog Hotel; we continue on the left path, which soon takes us out of the forest and beautiful views open up onto the surrounding peaks. Here the path begins to ascend again and runs mostly over grassy terrain surrounded by sparse dwarf pines. The path slowly begins to turn left and leads us to a junction. To the left is the path to the Globoko saddle (1828 m); we continue right towards Konjsko sedlo. Here we begin to ascend up the left side of the valley, with the best views of Konjski vrh and Bohinjski Migovec. Upon reaching the saddle, continue right following the signs «Komna» (left to Vogel). From the saddle, the path descends and crosses the slopes on the western side of Bohinjski Migovec (1901 m). Soon we are at another junction.
Here continue left (right to Komna) in the direction of Koča na planini Razor, on the path that begins to ascend diagonally to the right. After a short traverse, the path leads past a small valley where we step from the slopes of Bohinjski Migovec onto the rockier slopes of Vrh nad Škrbino. Here the path turns slightly right and across a small rough scree leads us to a small gully, after which we enter a very short belt of dwarf pines. Above the dwarf pines, the path ascends steeply for a short time, then levels out and crosses steep scree to the right (this section is usually still under snow in early summer, so crampons and ice axe are mandatory then). Ahead, the path bypasses a small cirque on the left side, where snow persists throughout the year. On the other side of the cirque, the path begins to ascend steeply towards Škrbina, which we reach after about 15 minutes of further ascent.
When we step onto Škrbina, a beautiful view opens to the Primorska side, and at the junction we continue right in the direction of Kuka (left to Vrh nad Škrbino, straight down to Koča na planini Razor). Ahead, the path begins to ascend diagonally across steep slabs, then both the path and the slope level out somewhat. Ahead, the path passes below the short wall of Vrha Kont, then begins to descend gently across occasionally steeper scree. Ahead on the Primorska side, the path also crosses Podrto gora and Mali vrh, then returns to the main ridge of the Spodnje Bohinjske gore, which it reaches right at the saddle between Mali vrh and Zeleni vrh. From here continue in the same direction, only now the path moves from the slopes onto a locally exposed ridge. Follow the marked path, which occasionally ascends quite steeply, then with ever better views, all the way to the grassy Zeleni vrh.

On the way: Konjsko sedlo (1782m), Škrbina (1910m)
