Ukanc - Meja (via Žagarjev graben and Konjsko sedlo)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenica take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica, Ribčev Laz and the Vogel ski resort. The route starts at the large parking lot at the bottom station of the lift to Vogel.

b) From Primorska, first drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then follow the signs for Bohinjsko jezero and Vogel. The route starts at the parking lot at the bottom station of the funicular to Vogel.

Path description:
Below the lower cable car station at Vogel, a forest road (ski slope in winter) is seen, which starts to climb moderately westwards. The path continues for some time climbing gently to moderately, then leads us out of the forest to a scenic slope from where we have a beautiful view of Komarčo, Pršivec and Lake Bohinj.

After this, the road starts to turn more and more to the left and becomes steeper and steeper. Higher up, we continue along a relatively steep ski slope, which is constantly being guided by a poorer and rough transport and rescue road. After a while, the road or ski slope is laid, then turns right and continues along the lower part of the Žagarjev graben valley. At the part where the road or ski slope descends slightly and leads us into the valley, we leave it and a few steps to the right in the forest we see an old mulatier along which we continue parallel to the ski slope.

The way forward leads us along the mule track, along which we notice quite frequent older markings, at a small crossroads we go right in the direction of Globoke. The path soon turns back to the left and we gradually start to climb steeply across the steep slopes, where the mulatier is damaged in several places, but there are no difficult places. When the slope is slightly flattened, the markings for Globoko and Vogel from the mulatier direct us to the left, where we quickly arrive in a valley (straight ahead, the mulatier, which reaches the marked Ski Hotel Vogel - Dom na Komni trail only a little as it is reached by the trail described below, but is completely overgrown in parts and difficult to pass), where the trail begins to disappear among the luxuriant vegetation vegetation. Here it is at first a little more difficult to follow the old markings and the track, which can be seen under the overgrown part. The route of the ascent is quite similar and is mainly along or slightly to the left of the valley of Žagar's Graben. Higher up, the terrain becomes slightly less overgrown and the markings and track are easier to follow. After the little man on the rock, join the well-maintained and better-trodden path leading from the Ski Hotel on the Vogel towards the Dom na Komni.

Follow the trail to the right and after a short climb reach a marked crossroads.

Continue straight in the direction of Komna (to the left the Globoko pass), where after a few minutes of further ascent you reach the plateau south of Konjski vrh (1558 m), from where you descend along a pleasant path towards a small valley, where on the left you can see an interesting marsh, which turns into a small lake in the event of heavier rain. Continue along the valley for a few minutes, and at an unmarked dip, the path turns slightly to the left and climbs the slope of Rušnati vrh, or the Boundary. Before the slope becomes steeper, the path turns sharply to the right and then climbs cross-country all the way to Konjsko sedlo , which is reached with fine views of Bohinj Migovec (1896 m) and the neighbouring Konjski vrh (1739 m).

From Konjsko sedlo , which is situated below the summit of the almost 2000 m high Meje, continue left following the "Vogel" signs. The path then crosses the slopes below the summit of Meja (1996 m). As we start to approach the neighbouring peak Rušnati vrh (1915 m), the slopes above us will become slightly less steep. Leave the marked path here and start climbing up the scree to the right. The slope becomes quite steep and the ridge is reached without climbing slightly to the right of Rušnatý vrh. On the ridge, where you reach an unmarked path, continue to the right (left Rušnati vrh). The way ahead initially follows the ridge, but in the last part the ridge retreats to the south side and climbs along a rocky ridge towards the summit.
Ukanc - Konjsko sedlo 3:50, Konjsko sedlo - Meja 1:30.
