Ukanc - Tolminski Kuk

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenica take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica, Ribčev Laz and the Vogel ski resort. Park in the large parking lot at the bottom station of the lift 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.
When the road or ski slope turns left and starts to climb steeply, however, become alert, because after about 100 m, on the right side, you will notice a small cairn, along which initially begins a rather overgrown path, which after a short crossing begins to climb steeply through the forest. Higher up, the path transitions and crosses slightly steeper slopes to the right. From here, a beautiful view of the surroundings opens up for a short time, and then the path returns to the forest, through which it again begins to climb more steeply. In a few places, the path is a little overgrown, but higher up it leads to a larger rock (Fig. 17), after which, after a few 10 m, we arrive at an unmarked crossroads.
At the crossroads, at which there is also a small cairn, continue to the left (to the right the hunting lodge at Mel and Ražnova Suha) and follow the more overgrown path, which first crosses the slopes to the left, and then leads us out of the woods and higher bushes to the viewing and high grass-covered slopes, from which we have a beautiful view of the Pršivec and Bohinjsko jezero. The ascent continues along an occasionally quite overgrown and in some places difficult to follow path (the difficult to follow places are mainly where there is a fallen tree lying across the path). Higher up, the path continues for some time through lane of bushes and dwarf pines, then arrives in a series of small valleys where the path is shown by a number of cairns. When the dwarf pines has thinned out considerably, the path turns slightly to the right and gradually flattens out. There is a short left turn and the path leads to mountain pasture behind Migovec, where you also get on the marked path Vogel - Komna.
From mountain pasture continue left on the marked path towards Vogel. After a few metres of downhill, the path starts to climb and leads to a marked crossroads, where you leave the path leading to Vogel. Here, continue to the right in the route Koča na planini Razor, following the path which begins to climb crosswise to the right. After a short crossing, the path leads us past a small valley where we step off the slopes of Bohinj Migovec onto the rockier slopes of Vrch nad Škrbino. Here the path turns slightly to the right and leads us over a small rough scree slope to a small ravine, after which we enter a very short lane of dwarf pines. Above dwarf pines, the path climbs steeply for a short time, then lays down and crosses a steep scree slope to the right (this part is usually still snow-covered in early summer, so snowshoes and snowshoes are compulsory then). The path continues on the left, passing a small crater, which is snow-covered all year round. On the other side of the conte, the path starts to climb steeply towards Škrbina, which is reached after about 15 minutes of further ascent. When we get to Škrbino, we get a nice view of the coastal side, and at the crossroads we continue to the right in the direction of Kuka (left Vrh nad Škrbino, straight down Koča na mountain pasture razor). The way forward starts to climb crosswise over steep slabs, and then both the path and the slope are slightly lowered. The path then passes under the shorter wall of Kont Peak, and then begins to descend gently over occasionally steeper scree. The path continues along the coastal side, crossing Podrta gora and Mali vrh, before returning to the main ridge of the Lower Bohinj Mountains, which it reaches just at the saddle between Mali vrh and Zeleni vrh. From here, continue in the same direction, except that the path moves from the slopes to a ridge that is exposed in places. Follow the marked path, which occasionally climbs quite steeply, then, with increasingly beautiful views, all the way to the grassy Zeleni vrh.
From Zelená vrh, follow the marked path as it descends steeply to the west. The slope we are descending quickly narrows and the path leads us to a narrow and slightly exposed ridge. Here the path is laid, and we quickly reach a saddle from which we begin to climb towards Tolminski Kuk. A short steep climb awaits us above the saddle, and then the path switches to a ridge, along and along which we climb to the highest peak of the Lower Bohinj Mountains.
