Kneške Ravne (Prošček) - Vogel (via Žabiški Kuk)

Access to the starting point:
From the Bača pri Modreju - Podbrdo road, in the Kneža settlement, turn onto the road in the direction of Kneške Ravenske. Continue up the road, which continues along the valley of the Kneža stream. The road, which is at first quite slippery and partly macadam, starts to climb steeply higher up, and on the steep part the road is mostly asphalted. Higher up, the road splits, and we take a slightly right road leading to mountain pasture in Prodih and becomes macadam (Kneške Ravne on the left). There is another 100 metres of climbing on the macadam road, and then we park in a suitable place in front of a barrier.

Path description:
From the starting point we continue along the macadam road over which there is a lock, and we follow it in a few serpentines and after about 35 minutes we arrive at the forestry hut.
At the hut, leave the road and walk along the right-hand side of the hut into the forest, where a well-traced and still unmarked path continues. The ascent follows, mostly through the forest, but occasionally with some views towards the foothills. Then we cross a torrent and reach the outskirts of mountain pasture in Prodih, where we also get on the marked trail.
Continue to the left (there is a hunting lodge a few 10 steps to the right) and continue walking along the Geological Trail, which also leads to the European Footpath E7. The trail ascends gently to the left, crossing the occasionally steeper slopes of the Lower Bohinj Mountains. When you reach the ridge between the Ljubinski Stěny and Masovnik, you get a beautiful view towards Kojce, and the path stops climbing and gradually starts descending at the foot of these walls. Below the walls, the once-marked path from Kneški Raven is almost imperceptibly joined from the left.
Continue straight on towards mountain pasture Razor, and the path leads us directly under the cliffs, where, especially in spring, there is an increased chance of falling rocks. There is a cross-climb and the path leads into the forest, where it leads past a spring. After the spring, the path climbs steeply and after two serpentines, it lays down again. A little further on, we cross a grazing fence, and the path leads us out of the forest to the upper part of the mountain pasture Kuk, to an area called Močila, where we pass a few huts on the lower side. After the huts, you reach a carriage road, which you follow to the right (to the left mountain pasture Kuk and the parking lot), and quickly reach a crossroads, where the path to Žabiški Kuk (also called Žabijski Kuk) branches off to the right - the path past Gradič (an old military trail).
Continue on the above-mentioned path (straight ahead Koča na planini Razor for 30 minutes), which starts to disappear on the grassy slope. During the ascent we are helped by wooden poles, which are painted red in the upper part. As we get higher into the forest, more paths appear, and we continue along the one with the red lines. We traverse a fairly steep slope to the right for some time, then emerge from the woods and arrive on steep grassy slopes. There is a slight downhill, where there is a risk of slipping, especially in wet conditions, and then the path turns left into a steep, mainly grassy gully, surrounded by dwarf pines. Following the unmarked gully, the path, which continues to be marked by red lines, climbs straight up, so that the steepness of the path is considerable. Higher up, the path curves slightly to the right and the slope also flattens out a little, and we reach an old mulatier with good views. We climb up the old mulatier for a while, and then the path goes from dwarf pines to the edge of the ridge, where we climb along the edge of the steep slopes. Higher up, the ridge becomes a little more distinct, and in a few more minutes we reach the miniature Aljaž Tower, located at Žabiški Kuk (1844 m). From the registration box, continue along the ridge for a short time, and then the red lines will direct you to a fainter path that bypasses Kota 1881 on the left, which is the highest point on the ridge of Žabiská Kuka. With beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, the path soon returns to the ridge and descends to the saddle between Žabiški Kuk and Vogel. From the saddle, there is a short climb to reach the marked path leading from mountain pasture Razor towards Vogel.
Continue ascending and after 10 minutes of further walking you will reach the viewpoint.
