Koča pri Savici - Velika Baba (via Bogatinsko sedlo and Lanževica)

Access to the starting point:
Take the Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue in the direction of Bohinjsko jezero. From Bohinjsko jezero, follow the signs for the waterfall Savica, and park at the pay parking lot next to the Cottage pri Savici.
The price for a private car for up to 3 hours is EUR 3 and for more than 3 hours EUR 6 (September 2018).

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the wide path towards the Savica, Dom na Komni and Koča pod Bogatinom waterfalls. At first, walk along the dirt road, but quickly turn slightly left off the road onto the marked path towards Komna (to the right of the Savica waterfall). Continue climbing along the old mulatier, which leads you through 48 marked serpentines. At the last marked serpentine you reach the valley Pekel, which you soon leave, and the path continues to climb through the forest. Higher up, the forest gradually begins to thin out, and a path joins us from the right, leading through Komarča and past the Black Lake.
Only a few 10 steps further on, the path splits again, and we take the left path in the direction of Dom na Komni (to the right Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and also the Cottage under Bogatin, the latter is about a minute shorter than the one leading past Dom na Komni), which we reach after 5 minutes of further walking.
From Dom na Komni, continue right towards Hut pod Bogatin (straight ahead to the Vogel ski slope and mountain pasture Govnjač), where you will soon join up with the aforementioned trail. After about 10 minutes of easy walking, you will reach mountain pasture on the Kraje, where the hut Koča pod Bogatinom is located.
At mountain pasture, about a minute further from the hut, there is a marked crossroads, and we continue in the direction of Bogatinsko sedlo or Vratc (right Lanževica over Lepo Komno). On the other side of mountain pasture, where another path branches off to the left almost imperceptibly towards mountain pasture Govnjač, the path gradually begins to climb. Cross the area called Gracija and, while crossing it, bypass the lesser-known Srednji vrh on the south side. After crossing Srednji vrh, the path becomes slightly steeper and splits. You can continue along the moderately steep mulatier, which makes a longer serpentine, or slightly to the right, along a steeper mountain path. The two paths join at Bogatinsko sedlo, where the next marked crossroads is.
From the saddle, from where a nice view opens up in the direction of Krn, continue right towards Lanževica (left Mahavšček and Bogatin, straight Krn, Dom pri Krnskih jezerih, Prehodci, Lepena. . . ). Further on, with good views, we mostly climb moderately, and at the part where the trail flattens out, we go around Vrh nad Gracijo on the left. A little further on, the path over the Lepe Komna joins us from the right, and we have just over 20 minutes of mostly moderate ascent to the Lanževica summit. From Lanževica we start descending on a faint ridge which continues to the south-west. Descend on easier trackless terrain, where occasionally a fainter track can be followed. When a small pass is reached, a traceable track appears and the path continues in roughly the same direction. A little further on, a small valley is reached, from which a short, scalloped boardwalk is crossed. With fine views, continue with a few short ascents and descents, and the path points slightly to the left, passing the peak called Predolina on the south side on the left. When you reach the indistinct ridge connecting Velika Montura and Predolina, at the crossroads of the unmarked paths, continue to the right.
Cross the slopes of Predolina for a short distance and then approach the ridge connecting Predolina with Velika Baba. Continue slightly to the left and walk under the ridge, crossing slopes occasionally covered with dwarf pines. The path through dwarf pines is traceable, but is quite overgrown in places. The trail leads to a ridge, and a little further on we reach a marked trail leading from Lepena towards Velika Baba.
Continue on the marked path and, after a climb of about 10 minutes, you will reach the summit.
