Ukanc - Dom na Komni (via Žagarjev graben)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica, Ribčev Laz and ski center Vogel. The path starts at a large well-maintained parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway on Vogel.
B) From Primorska we first drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, and then we follow the signs for Lake Bohinj and Vogel. The path starts at the parking lot at the bottom station of the cable car on Vogel.

Path description:
Under the bottom station of the cableway on Vogel we notice a forest road (in winter a ski track), which starts moderately ascending towards the west. The path ahead continues gently to moderately ascending for some time, then it brings us out of the forest onto a panoramic slope, from where a beautiful view opens up on Komarča, Pršivec and Lake Bohinj.

After that the road starts turning more and more to the left and becoming steeper and steeper. Higher we continue on a relatively steep ski track, along which a worse and gravelly transport-rescue road leads us all the time. Eventually the road or ski track flattens temporarily, then turns right and continues on the bottom part of the valley Žagarjev graben. On the part where the road or ski slope slightly descends and brings us into a small valley, we leave it and a few steps to the right in the forest we notice an old mule track along which we continue parallel to the ski slope.

The path ahead leads us along the mule track, beside which we notice quite frequent older blazes, at a smaller crossing we go right in the direction of Globoko. The path soon turns back to the left and we gradually start ascending transversely across steep slopes, where the mule track is damaged in several places, but there are no more difficult sections. When the slope flattens a little, the signs for Globoko and Vogel direct us left from the mule track, where we quickly arrive in a small valley (straight ahead the mule track, which reaches the marked path Ski hotel Vogel - Dom na Komni only a little before we reach it along the path described further on, but parts of it are completely overgrown and difficult to pass), where the trail starts to disappear among lush vegetation. Here at first it is somewhat harder to follow the old blazes and the trail, which can be seen under the overgrown section. The direction of the further ascent is quite similar, namely we mainly ascend along or slightly left of the small valley of Žagarjev graben. Higher the terrain becomes somewhat less overgrown, and it is easier to follow the blazes and trail. After the cairn on the rock we join a maintained and better-trodden path that leads from the Ski hotel on Vogel towards Dom na Komni.

We follow the mentioned path to the right, after a short ascent we reach a marked junction.

We continue straight in the direction of Komna (left Globoko pass), where after a few minutes of further ascent we reach the plateau-like terrain south of Konjski vrh (1558 m), from where along a pleasant path we descend towards a smaller valley, where on the left we notice an interesting swamp that during stronger rain turns into a small lake. We continue for a few minutes along the valley, at the indistinct spur the path turns somewhat to the left and ascends the slope of Rušnati vrh or Meja. Even before the slope becomes steeper, the path turns sharply to the right, then ascends transversely all the way to Konjsko sedlo, which we reach with nice views of Bohinjski Migovec (1896 m) and neighboring Konjski vrh (1739 m).

From Konjsko sedlo, which is located below the summit of the almost 2000 meters high Meja, we start descending transversely in the direction of Komna (sharply left Vogel and Globoko pass), and the path leads us across the screes of Bohinjski Migovec. Lower we arrive in more level terrain, still mostly descending, and during the descent we are accompanied by wonderful views of the Julian Alps. Lower the path leads us past a viewpoint that is less than a minute away from the path and from which a nice view opens up on Lake Bohinj. A few minutes of descent follow and we arrive at a junction, from which we continue sharply right towards Komna (straight Škrbina).

From the junction we descend a little further and arrive at the central part of the indistinct Planina za Migovcem.

We continue in the direction of Komna, and further we bypass the nearby and mostly dwarf pine-covered Mohor on the right side. At first we walk without major changes in elevation, then we start descending transversely, and from the path a nice view opens up on Lake Bohinj. When we start ascending again, an unmarked path through Ražnova Suha joins almost unnoticeably from the right. We continue on the marked path, along which we quickly ascend to the pass between Mohor on the left and Mali vrh on the right, where we cross a grazing fence. A moderate descent towards the frost hollow Krošnja follows, which the path bypasses on the right side. A few minutes of easy walking follow and we arrive at a marked junction, from which we continue right upwards (straight Planina Govnjač and Dom na Komni via the mentioned planina).

From the junction a few minutes of ascent follow, then somewhat more descent. Lower the path levels out and from the left the path leading across Planina Govnjač joins us.

We continue in the direction of Dom na Komni, which we reach after a few minutes of further walking.
