Vrh Bače - Šavnik

Access to starting point:
1. From Bohinjska Bistrica we drive towards Soriška planina. Only about 400 meters before the parking lot on Soriška planina, a forest road branches off to the right. We follow this road to its end, where we park.
2. From Železniki or Podbrdo we drive towards Soriška planina. From Soriška planina we start descending towards Bohinjska Bistrica. After approximately 400 meters from the parking lot, a forest road branches off to the left. We head onto this road and follow it to the parking lot at the end of the road.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the saddle Vrh Bače, and there signs for Možic and Šavnik point us to the left on an ascending footpath. The path ahead for a short time steeply ascends through the forest and then it brings us on a grassy plain, where the path for some time flattens. The path then returns into the forest, where already after a short ascent, it brings us to an old military bunker, which is converted into some kind of holiday cottage, and the path bypasses it on the right side. A moderately steep path then brings us by the edge of the ridge (here we can in a few steps ascend to a nice vantage point - a view on Baška grapa and Kobla) by which we are then ascending through more or less dense forest. Higher, the path turns to the left and entirely flattens. Next follows a good 5 minutes of walking, and then the path brings us on a larger grassy slope between Šavnik and Slatnik. We continue here on an easy path, which turns to the right and after a few steps it brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue slightly left in the direction of Šavnik (straight mountain pasture Planina za Šavnikom and Možic) on the path which passes into a lane of forest through which it starts ascending steeper. Higher, we step out of the forest on grassy and raspberry bushes vegetated slopes, through which in a diagonal ascent we ascend on the southeastern ridge of Šavnik. Here the path turns slightly towards the left and then continues on and by the already mentioned ridge. This relatively steep and increasingly panoramic path, we then follow all the way to a panoramic summit.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
