Bohinjsko sedlo - Šavnik

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenica take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica turn left towards Tolmin and Soriška mountain pasture. Follow this road to a large parking lot near the Soriška ski centre mountain pasture.
From Železniki go to Podbrdo or vice versa, but only as far as where the signs for Soriška planina direct you to the ascending road. Follow this road to the large parking lot at the foot of the Soriška ski slope mountain pasture.

Path description:
From the parking lot at Bohinj saddle, follow the macadam road towards Litostrojska hut on Soriška mountain pasture. After less than 5 minutes of gentle ascent, you will reach the mountain hut, from which you will have a view of the nearby grassy slopes of the surrounding peaks.
From the hut continue along the marked path in the direction of Šavnik, Možica and Lajnar. After a few 10 steps, you will reach a less visible crossroads, where the path to Mozic branches off slightly to the right (inscription on a tree, straight ahead Lajnar). Take the above-mentioned path, which continues to climb gently along the edge of the grassy slopes of the Soriška mountain pasture. A little higher up, the marked path turns to the right and begins to climb steeply through lane of sparse forest and scrub. The path soon leaves the wods and leads into a small valley, at the edge of which you then climb up to an old military barracks (a barracks converted into a sheepfold, with a small shepherd's hut next to it).
From the barracks, past a small chapel, we climb up an undistinguished ridge, where the path from Lajnar joins us on the left. Continue straight down (left along the grassy ridge to the top of Slatnik for 5 minutes) along the path which begins to descend towards a small saddle, where the next crossroads is.
Continue left downhill (slightly right Možic 10 minutes) on a path that starts gently at first and then descends more and more. After 15 minutes of descending through the forest, the path leads to a grassy valley, where you continue left towards the hunting observatory. Near the hunting observatory there is a crossroads where you turn slightly right in the direction of Šavnik (left Vrh Bače, sharp right mountain pasture behind Šavnik) on a path that goes into a strip of forest and climbs slightly steeper. Once out of the forest, there is a short climb along a wide and increasingly scenic ridge, which is followed to the top.
