Koča pri Savici - Tolminski Kuk (via Vrh Planje)

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, take the wide path that climbs along the river Savica (direction Komna and waterfall Savica). After two minutes of easy walking, you will reach a small house (a small kiosk), where the path to the waterfall branches off to the right, and we continue straight towards our home on the Komna. The way forward leads us along an old military causeway and climbs in many switchbacks, all the way through the forest. After crossing 48 serpentines, the path leads us into an unmarked valley between Dobračeva glava and Plešo. This valley is called Pekel. The ascent continues up a less steep slope, where you can see a cave on the right that was made during the war. Ten minutes before the Komna lodge, you reach a crossroads, where you go left (to the right, the Black Lake). A few steps further on, you reach the next crossroads, where a path branches off to the right, leading to the hut by the Triglav Lakes. Continue left and follow the slightly steeper path all the way to the house at Komna.
At the home, turn left on the path leading to Tolminski Kuk and Vogel. After a few dozen steps, the path leads us to the next crossroads, where the path to Vogel branches off to the left, and we continue on the right path towards mountain pasture Govnjač, which we reach in just over 15 minutes of gentle ascent.
At mountain pasture, carefully follow the signs for Kuk and Mahavšček. There are a lot of paths here, so you can get lost if you are a little careless.
The way forward climbs the plateau of Spodnje Komne and after a short climb leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue straight along the marked path (to the left branches off the unmarked path to Tolminski Kuk), which only slightly further turns quite to the right. After a short climb, you can see a small saddle in front of you, located between two less visible peaks. The path here starts to climb steeper and leads us almost to the above-mentioned saddle below which there is a crossroads. Continue left in the direction of Tolminski Kuk (right Mahavšček) along the path, which soon leads to a ridge, which is then followed to an indistinct peak called Kser.
The path ahead begins to descend gently and leads us along a narrow and rather steep ridge. A short climb follows and the path leads us to the next peak (Peak Planja 1971m) from which we have a beautiful view of Tolminski Kuk. From the top of Planja the trail starts to descend more steeply and after 100 lost vertical metres leads us to the saddle Planja.
Just a little further on, an unmarked path with mountain pasture Govnjač (possibility of return) joins us from the left. Continue along the path which begins to climb steeply up the north-western slope of the Tolminski Kuk. This part is also very exposed to falling rocks due to its steepness. After 30 minutes' walk from the Planja saddle, the very steep path leads to a scenic peak.
Starting point - Komna 2:30, Komna - Kser 2:30, Kser - Tolmin Kuk 1:15.
