Ukanc - Vrh Planje (above Globoko) (via Globoko)

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 the Vogel ski resort. 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, 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:
Below the bottom station of the cableway on Vogel we notice a forest road (in winter a ski slope), which starts to ascend moderately 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 becomes steeper and steeper. Higher we continue on a relatively steep ski slope, along which a worse and gravelly transport-rescue road leads us all the time. After a while the road or ski slope temporarily flattens, then turns right and continues along the lower part of the Žagarjev graben valley. On the section where the road or ski area 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 area.

The path ahead leads us along the mule track, alongside which we notice quite frequent older blazes, at a smaller junction we go right in the direction of Globoko. The path soon turns back to the left and we gradually start to ascend diagonally across steep slopes, where the mule track is damaged in several places, but there are no more difficult sections. When the slope flattens somewhat, the signs for Globoko and Vogel direct us left from the mule track, where we quickly arrive in a small valley where the path starts to get lost among lush vegetation. Here at first it is somewhat more difficult to follow the old blazes and the path, 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 Žagarjev graben valley. Higher the terrain becomes somewhat less overgrown, and it is easier to follow the blazes and the path. After the cairn on the rock we join a maintained and better-trodden path that leads from the Ski Hotel on Vogel towards the Dom na Komni.

We follow the mentioned path to the right, in the direction of Komna we walk only to the nearby marked junction, from which we go left onto a less trodden but well-marked path in the direction of the Globoko saddle and Koča na planini Razor (straight Konjsko sedlo and Komna).

The path ahead continues along the grass-covered mule track, which the marked path also cuts across several times. Higher we ascend amid ever better views, and we along the mule track, which makes a few longer zigzags, arrive at a junction where we join another path leading from the Vogel ski area towards Komna.

We continue right towards the Globoko saddle and in a few minutes past the ruins we ascend to a junction below the Globoko saddle.

We head slightly right and upwards onto the path in the direction of the Globoko saddle and Koča na planini Razor (left Vogel, right Konjsko sedlo and Komna). A steep ascent follows, where a steel cable assists us on a short section, after 15 minutes of steep ascent we reach the Globoko saddle, from where a beautiful view also opens up towards the south. Here we leave the marked path, which starts descending towards the Razor pasture, and continue sharply right onto a poorer unmarked path, along which in a minute or two we ascend to Vrh Planje.
