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 and Lake Bohinj. After Laški Rovt you will reach a small crossroads where the road to the left branches off and leads to the starting points of the route to Rodica, mountain pasture Suho, Šijo, Vogel. . . and the Laški Rovt camping area. The dirt road immediately turns into a forest and first climbs past the above-mentioned camping area and then climbs relatively steeply for a few kilometres. After a little less than 6,5 km of macadam, you will reach a slightly larger crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards mountain pasture Storeča raven (the starting point of the route to Vogel). Continue straight on here and after about 50 m of further driving you will reach a left turn where the starting point of the route towards mountain pasture Suha. Park in a suitable place on the roadside.
Path description:
Near the parking lot, on the west side of the torrent, there is a marked footpath leading to mountain pasture Suha. The path initially climbs up the right-hand side of the torrent before joining it. After a few steps along the torrent, the marked path turns to the right and lays completely flat. The gently sloping walk is quickly interrupted by a steep ascent over a relatively steep slope. The steepness then eases a little and the well-marked path then leads up through the dense forest along and along the torrent. A little higher up, the marked path leaves the stream to the left and rejoins it after a few minutes. The path then runs along the right side of the torrent and soon leads us out of the forest onto the vast mountain pasture of Suha.
After the first hut on mountain pasture, you will see the Vogel markers on the right. Follow these signs and they will lead you to a badly worn path. Follow it upwards, first over a bit of grass, and then the path goes between dwarf pines. The path is marked at the beginning, then slowly the path disappears and then the markings. The path has not been marked for several years so that even those markings are difficult to see. When the track runs out, follow the transitions between dwarf pines, which are sometimes difficult to find. Here and there we see tracks but only for a short time. After about one hour from mountain pasture, the trail leads to the saddle between Zavitar (right) and the top of the cable car on the Vogel (left).
On the other side of the saddle, descend a few metres and then continue right under the rocks. Climb up on the grass and you will be stopped by dwarf pines. The best passage is found a little to the right and a little higher up on an indistinct ridge. Here you can see the summit and choose a passage on the right side of a small sinkhole a few metres below the summit. The last metres are not difficult.
Starting point - Suha 1:00, Suha - Zavitar 1:00.
