Ski hotel Vogel - Rušnati vrh (via Konjsko sedlo)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue driving towards Bohinjsko jezero (Ribčev laz), at which you will come to a crossroads, where you will continue straight along the left (south) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanec and the Savica waterfall. Follow this road to the bottom station of the pendulum at Vogel, then buy a ticket and take the cable car to the top station, which is the starting point for our tour.

Path description:
At the Ski Hotel, turn right (west) and follow the macadam road past the Merjasec mountain hut. The road begins to descend gently and leads to a crossroads. Take the road to the right after the signs "Komna, Cheese factory Zadnji Vogel". The road continues to descend gently and soon we are back at the crossroads. This time take the road to the left after the signs "Pl Zadnji Vogel, Komna". After only a few tens of metres of ascent, a sign on a rock (Vogel) directs us to a footpath that goes right into the forest. The path through the forest runs parallel to the road and begins to descend gently. When you rejoin the road, follow the signs "Pl. Last Vogel". The road then crosses the cable car "Last Vogel" and leads to the crossroads at the cheese cottage "Last Vogel". Continue straight on past the cheese cottage and follow the signs "Komna" (the path to Vogel branches off to the left). The path then takes us through dwarf pines into the forest and starts to descend slightly again. To the right, a path branches off, leading down into the valley towards the Hotel Zlatorog, and we continue along the left path, which soon leads us out of the forest and opens up to beautiful views of the surrounding peaks. The path starts to climb again here and runs mostly on grassy terrain surrounded by rare dwarf pines. The path slowly starts to turn to the left and leads to a crossroads. To the left the path leads to the Globoko saddle (1828m), and we continue to the right towards Konjski sedlo. Here we start to climb up the left side of the valley, with the most beautiful views of Konjski vrh and Bohinjski Migovec. When you reach the saddle, continue to the left after the "Vogel" signs. The path then crosses the slopes below the Meja peak (1996). As we start to approach the neighbouring Rušnati vrh peak (1915m), the slopes above us will become slightly less steep. Leave the marked path here and start climbing up the scree to the right. The slope becomes quite steep and the ridge is reached without climbing slightly to the right of Rušnatý vrh. At the ridge where you reach an unmarked path, continue left and follow the grassy terrain to reach the summit in a few minutes.
