Pod Zjabci - Čelo

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue over the Vršič Pass towards Bovec. Shortly after the Berebica Gallery, you will arrive in the village Soča, where you will turn left over the bridge over the Soča River (towards the Jelinčič Tourist Farm and the Korita bivouac). After the bridge, do not turn left towards the bivouac, but continue driving straight ahead on the ascending asphalt road. Continue climbing through vast meadows, in the middle of which stand a few individual huts, and then the road turns into a forest. Higher up, the road turns quite left and leads us to Pod Zjabcev, where we see mountain direction signs for mountain pasture Za skala, Dom na Komni and Triglav lakes. Park at a suitable place along the road.
b) From the coastal side, first drive to Bovec, then continue driving towards Trenta. Towards the end of the village Soča, turn right in the direction of the Jelinčič tourist farm and the Korita bivouac. After the bridge, do not turn left towards the bivouac, but continue straight on the ascending asphalt road. Continue climbing through vast meadows, in the middle of which stand a few individual huts, and then the road turns into a forest. Higher up, the road turns quite left and leads us to Pod Zjabcev, where we see mountain direction signs for mountain pasture Za skala, Dom na Komni and Triglav lakes. Park at a suitable place along the road.

Path description:
From Pod Zjabcev, follow the marked trail, which passes the nearby cottage on the right. After the cottages, the path goes into the woods and quickly leads to a small crossroads, where you continue right across the stream. On the other side of the stream, the path turns left and starts to climb moderately through the dense forest. The ascent continues along the old mule track, which is already fairly loaded in several places, but it leads us higher up to a short steep rocky section. A well-maintained and wide mulatier leads us through this part, and the path above this part leads us to a viewpoint from which we have a beautiful view of the Bavški Grintavec.
From the viewpoint, the path returns to the forest and climbs quickly up to an old water trough (there is a small spring along the path, which dries up in dry periods). Above the trough, the path turns slightly left and then climbs through the forest in numerous switchbacks. Higher up, the path bends slightly and leads to a less visible crossroads, where an abandoned path branches off to the left towards mountain pasture Za skalo.
From here we continue straight on, but again a slightly steeper path, after 10 minutes of further walking, leads us to the next, this time completely unmarked crossroads. Here, an unmarked path branches off to the right, leading to a nearby hunting lodge and on towards mountain pasture behind Črni vrh, a hunting trail branches off to the left towards mountain pasture behind the rock, and we continue straight on to the next crossroads nearby, which is slightly better marked.
Here we continue straight ahead, or slightly right, along the marked trail in the direction of Triglav Lakes and Komna. Continue along the gently sloping path through the coniferous forest to the fork in the trail.
From the fork, continue along the left-hand path in the direction of Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (straight Komna and Lanževica), which bypasses Dol za Bajarjem on the left. The way forward for some time only crosses the slopes, then for a short time climbs and leads us into a small valley, where we arrive at a small crossroads. At the crossroads, continue left along the marked trail (straight unmarked path (mulatjera) leading towards Mali vrata), which then climbs crosswise over moderately steep grassy slopes. Higher up, the path leads through a series of small, undistinguished valleys, then climbs a little more and leads us under the cliffs, where the next, less visible, crossroads is located. Here we continue to the right (to the left, along a small mogic, a partly pathless path leads towards the Travnik valley) and for a while we cross the slopes below the cliffs, then the path, which continues along the old mulatier, turns slightly left and starts to climb more steeply. After a short steeper part, the marked path turns right towards the nearby Great Gate, and we continue straight on to the trackless road (there is a small man at the place where we leave the marked path). Here we leave the already little-visited path and continue right along the trackless world. At first, the transitions between dwarf pines and the scabby world are relatively easy, as we are helped to find the "path" by cairns, which are admittedly rare. The ascent continues in a somewhat northerly direction, but there are no direct passages due to the karst world. Because of the crevasses, we have to
Next, descend gently, then climb the grassy slope of Čela to the little-known and even less-visited summit.
