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 rubbly transport-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 flattens out a bit, the markers for Globoko and Vogel from the mulatier direct us to the left, where we quickly arrive in a valley where the track begins to disappear amongst the lush vegetation. Here it is at first a little more difficult to follow the old markings and the track, which can be seen under the overgrowth. The route of the further 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 to the Dom na Komni.
Follow the trail to the right, and in the direction of Komna, walk only as far as the nearby marked crossroads, from which turn left onto the less well-trodden but well-marked trail in the direction of the Globoko and Koča na planini Razor passes (straight ahead to Konjsko sedlo and Komna).
The way forward continues along the grass-covered mule track, which the marked path also crosses a few times. Higher up we climb with increasingly beautiful views, and we follow the mule track, which makes a few longer turns, to a crossroads where we join the other trail leading from the Vogel ski resort towards Komna.
Continue right towards the Globoko pass and in a few minutes, past the ruins, climb to the crossroads below the Globoko pass.
Bear slightly right and up the path towards the Globoko and Koča na planini Razor passes (Vogel on the left, Konjsko sedlo and Komna on the right). A steep climb follows, with a short place to help us, and after 15 minutes of steep climbing, we reach the Globoko pass, from where we have a nice view to the south. Here you leave the marked trail, which begins to descend towards mountain pasture Razor and continue sharp right onto a less well-marked unmarked path, which will take you up to the top of Planje in a minute or two.
