Koča pri Savici - Planina Govnjač

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 increasingly narrow road to the large parking lot at the Savica Cottage. There is a charge for parking.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the wide footpath towards the Savica waterfall and the Komna home. After a short ascent, the path leads us to a marked crossroads where the tourist path to the right branches off towards the Savica waterfall, and we continue slightly to the left or straight along the wide footpath in the direction of Komna. The path continues to climb for a short time along Savica, and then leads us to the first of the 48 marked serpentines. After an hour and a half of moderate ascent through the forest, the path leads us to the 48 serpentine from which we have a beautiful view of Lake Bohinj. Here the path turns slightly to the right and passes into the valley called Pekel, where it climbs gently for a while, then turns to the right and climbs slightly steeper again. After only a few 10 paces, the path turns left again and continues to climb parallel to the valley. The path, which is steep to moderately steep, gradually turns into a more sparse forest, from which you can soon see the house on Komna. The way forward leads us past a small man-made cave, and higher up, past a natural abyss, which is fenced off to prevent any of the hikers from falling into it. Next, the path climbs a little more and after a few steps of further walking leads us to a crossroads where the path to the right branches off to the Black Lake.
Continue straight ahead on the wide path (mulatjeri), which takes you just a little higher to the next crossroads. Continue again to the left (to the right the cottage at Triglav Lakes) along the path, which climbs a little more steeply and after a few minutes of further walking leads us to the hut at Komna.
From the house, continue left in the direction mountain pasture Govnjač, Vogel and Mahavščka (right Bogatinsko sedlo and Krn) along the path, which starts to descend more steeply shortly after the hut. The path soon becomes steeper and after 5 minutes from the house at Komna it leads to a marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of mountain pasture Govnjač. The route continues along an old military causeway and, with the exception of a few short ascents, descends. After about 30 minutes' walk from the house at Komna, you will reach the information board at the aforementioned mountain pasture.
