Ski hotel Vogel - Vrh Dlani

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 continue left in the direction of the four-seater Orlove glave (right down Komna, Vogel, Žagarjev graben and Ukanc), which the road passes on the right. From the bottom station of the four-seater, the road continues along the transport and rescue road, which in turn follows the Vogel ski slope, and begins to climb steeply. Follow the road, along which you can also see a few rare markings, to the upper station of the aforementioned four-seater, with increasingly beautiful views of Julian Alps. Here the path bends and leads us to a point where a path branches off to the right to the summit of Orlove glave (the summit with the cross), and we continue straight on along the transport-rescue road, which bypasses the main summit of the Eagle's Heads on the left-hand side.
The road then descends slightly and leads to a less well-marked crossroads, where we continue along the right-hand road in the direction of Šija and Rodica. The road continues to climb for a short time, then ends and leads to a marked mountain trail, along which we continue our ascent. After a moderate climb of a few minutes, we arrive at a marked crossroads, where the path to Komna branches off to the right, and we continue slightly to the left, along a path that gradually transitions to a ski slope. Here the path starts to climb steeply and, with increasingly beautiful views, quickly leads us to the top station of the Šija single-seater railway.
From the top station, continue slightly to the right and in a few steps climb to the unmarked top of the High Eagle's Edge.
From here the trail descends slightly, then begins a moderate climb and within a few minutes leads to a marked crossroads. From the crossroads, continue straight in the direction of Šija (left Rodica, right Vogel) and continue the ascent along the steep path, which in 5 minutes of further walking leads to a scenic and precipitous peak.
From Šija, continue along the beaten but unmarked path, which begins to descend westwards from the summit. The path first descends over a steep slope and then continues along a ridge which is slightly exposed in places. After a few minutes of crossing, the path climbs slightly and quickly leads to Vrh Dlani.
