Ski hotel Vogel - Visoki Orlov rob

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and then towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue driving towards Bohinj Lake (Ribčev laz), where you arrive at a junction, continuing straight along the left (southern) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanc and Savica Waterfall. Follow this road to the lower station of the Vogel cable car, then buy a ticket and take the cable car to the upper station, which is the starting point for our tour.

Route description:
From the upper station of the cable car on Vogel we continue right on the road which on the west side bypasses the mountain hut Merjasec. We continue the path in a gentle descent in the direction of Komna and Vogel, but a wide macadam road brings us to a marked junction. Here we continue left in the direction of the four-seater chairlift Orlove glave (right downwards Komna, Vogel, Žagarjev graben and Ukanc), which the road bypasses on the right side. From the lower station of the four-seater chairlift the path, which continues along a transport-rescue road that runs along the Vogel ski slope, begins to ascend more steeply. We follow the road, along which we notice some rare blazes and with increasingly beautiful views of the Julian Alps, to the upper station of the aforementioned four-seater chairlift. Here the path flattens and brings us to a spot where a path branches off to the right to the forepeak of Orlove glave (peak with a cross), but we continue straight on the transport-rescue road, which bypasses the main peak of Orlove glave on the left side.
Further on, the road descends slightly and brings us to a poorly marked junction, where we continue along the right road in the direction of Šija and Rodica. We ascend briefly along the road, then it ends and brings us to a marked mountain path, along which we continue the ascent. After a few minutes of moderate ascent, we arrive at a marked junction, where the path to Komna branches off to the right, but we continue slightly left along the path which gradually leads onto the ski slope. Here the path begins to ascend more steeply and quickly brings us, with increasingly beautiful views, to the upper station of the single-seater chairlift Šija.
From the upper station we continue slightly right and ascend in a few steps to the indistinct peak Visoki Orlov rob.
