Koča pri Savici - The lake Jezero v Ledvicah

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenica, 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, turn right in the direction of Črno jezero, Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Hotel Zlatorog. The route initially leads along a dirt road, which crosses the Savica River via a bridge. Just after the bridge, the signs for Komarčo direct us left (straight ahead Hotel Zlatorog) onto what is at first still a fairly wide and relatively winding forest path. However, the path soon starts to climb steeper and leads us a little higher to a place where the path to the spring Savica branches off to the left, and we continue to the right on an increasingly steep path.
The well-maintained and relatively wide mountain trail, however, soon switches to the very steep and dangerous for slipping slopes of Komarče (there is also a high risk of falling rocks). The way forward climbs steeply on the mostly forested wall of Komarče, where we are helped in the more difficult places by the fixed safety gear (mainly by jeklenice).
Higher up, the route opens up some views towards Bohinj, and the path leads us to a short technically difficult place where we cross an otherwise not-so-exposed gully with the help of crampons and a rope. The way forward is still steeply climbing for some time and with the help of some fixed safety gear leads us to the top of Komarče, from where we get a nice view of our starting point. There is a short moderately steep climb, and then the path begins to descend gently towards Črno jezero, which is reached after less than 5 minutes of further walking.
Near the lake there is a marked crossroads where a path branches off to the right towards mountain pasture Viševnik, and we continue slightly to the left and follow the marked path, passing Črno jezero on the right. On the other side of the lake, the path from Dom na Komni joins us from the left, and we continue along a relatively winding path that continues along the edge of the Lopučnička valley. Higher up, the path begins to climb moderately and leads us along the edge of overhanging cliffs to a small spring, which dries up in dry periods.
Continue on the marked path, which turns sharp right near Bela skala and climbs steeply. A few minutes of steep climbing follows, and then the path is laid and leads to a marked crossroads where the path with mountain pasture Blato joins us from the right. Continue left in the direction Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and follow the relatively winding path, which will take you to the Double Lake within 10 minutes of further walking. The marked trail bypasses the lake on the right and before reaching the other side leads to a crossroads where the trail to Štapce branches off to the right. Continue straight ahead and within a few minutes of further walking you will reach the Hut by the Triglav Lakes.
From the hut, continue in the direction of Prehodavce and Hribarice and continue past the artificial lake Močivec. Just after the lake, the trail begins to climb moderately through a less and less vegetated valley. The pleasant and scenic route leads us further along the Valley of the Triglav Lakes, which quickly leads us to a marked crossroads where the path to Veliko or Lepo Špičje branches off to the left.
Continue in the direction of Prehodavce and follow the relatively folded path, which first crosses the lane of the rare larch forest, and then continues along the pleasant valley. The path continues to climb moderately and leads us to a small preval, from which we have a beautiful view of the lake in Ledvice.
If you want to get right to the lake, you can walk down to it in a few minutes on a less well-beaten but technically easy path.
