Ski hotel Vogel - Vogel (via planina Zadnji Vogel)

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 road to the bottom station of the pendulum at Vogel, then buy a ticket and take the cable car to the top station, which is the starting point for our tour.

Path description:
From the top station of the pendulum at Vogel, continue right along the road, passing the Merjasec mountain hut on the west side. The path continues in a slight downhill in the direction of Komna and Vogel, and a wide macadam road leads to a marked crossroads. Here we continue to the right steeply downhill in the direction of Komna and mountain pasture Last Vogel. Go down the ski slope quite steeply for a while, then at the fork in the trail continue left towards mountain pasture Last Vogel (right down Ukanc). The path soon becomes completely flat and leads to the cheese cottage at the aforementioned mountain pasture.
From mountain pasture, the last Vogel continues slightly left in the direction of Komna and Vogel, and we follow the path towards Komna for only a few more 10 m, and then the inscription on the rock behind Vogel, directs us left on a moderately ascending path. The path continues to climb through lane of dwarf pines, then descends into a pleasant grassy valley. There is a steep climb up the valley, and then the path starts to climb more moderately. A little higher, you arrive at a marked crossroads, where it says Šija saddle on the left and Vogel on the right. Continue here either left or right, as after a few minutes the two paths merge again. From the point where the two paths merge, there is only a short climb and the path leads to the next crossroads.
Here we continue straight up towards Vogel (Šija on the left, Komna on the right) and continue our ascent along the path, which quickly leads us to the saddle (1668 m), which borders on the Primorska region and from which we have a beautiful view of the Primorska side.
Here, the path from Šija joins us from the left, and we continue slightly to the right along the marked footpath towards Vogel. The path continues along the ridge for a short distance, then turns slightly to the right, where it becomes lane of dwarf pines. Dwarf pines ends quickly, and a moderately steep path leads over some slopes before returning to the ridge, where it climbs steeply for a short time. There is a short, slightly exposed passage, and then the route moves on to the northern slopes of the Vogel, where snowfields can be encountered in early summer. After crossing the slopes below Vogel, the path climbs slightly steeper and leads to a marked crossroads where you continue sharp left in the direction of Vogel (straight Globoko and Komna). The ascent then leads to a saddle between Vogel and Vrh Krnic, from which we have a beautiful view of the coastal side of the Baltic Sea. Here, continue left along the lookout ridge, which will take you to the top of the 1922 m high Vogel in a few minutes.
