Koča pri Savici - Lanževica (via Bogatinsko sedlo)

Access to starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue driving towards Lake Bohinj (Ribčev Laz), where you will come to a crossroads, where you continue straight along the left (south) side of the lake in the direction of Ukanc and the Savica waterfall. Follow this increasingly narrow road to the large parking lot at the Savica Hut. There is a charge for parking.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the wide footpath in the direction of Savica Waterfall and Dom na Komni (right the path over Komarča). After a short gentle ascent, the path brings us to a marked crossroads, where the tourist path to Savica Waterfall branches off to the right, and we continue slightly left or straight on the wide footpath in the direction of Komna. The path ahead continues to ascend along the Savica for a short time, then brings us to the first of the marked 48 switchbacks. After an hour and a half of moderate ascent through the forest, the path brings us to the aforementioned 48th switchback, from which a beautiful view of Lake Bohinj opens up. Here the path turns slightly to the right and enters the valley called Pekel, where it ascends gently for some time, then turns right and ascends somewhat steeper again. After just a few dozen steps, the path turns left again and continues to ascend parallel to the valley. The further gentle to moderately steep path gradually enters a sparser forest, from which we soon see Dom na Komni. The path ahead leads us past a small interesting cave, higher up it brings us to a crossroads, where the path to Black Lake branches off to the right, and we continue left and further on the wide path. Follows some transverse ascent, at the natural abyss, which is fenced for safety, the path turns right, then ascends to the next crossroads, where the path from Black Lake joins us.
A little further on, the path splits once more, and we choose the left path in the direction of Dom na Komni, or we can also take the somewhat shorter path that continues straight and bypasses Dom na Komni (right Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih).
Follows the ascent past the hut Pri Hubertu and in a few minutes we reach Dom na Komni.
From Dom na Komni we go past a small chapel and follow the signs for Koča pod Bogatinom (left Vogel, Tolminski Kuk and Planina Govnjač), but we soon merge with the aforementioned somewhat shorter path.
We continue slightly left in the direction of Koča pod Bogatinom and along the wide and quite scenic path we quickly arrive at Planina na Kraju, where past the pyramid (ossuary at Koča pod Bogatinom - mountain memorial) we reach Koča pod Bogatinom, which is located in the middle of the alpine pasture.
We bypass the hut on the right side and quickly arrive at a marked crossroads, where the path over Lepa Komna branches off to the right, which leads further to Lanževica or Oslove škrbina, but we continue straight, further on the wider gentle path in the direction of Bogatinsko sedlo. On the western part of Planina na Kraju, another path to Planina Govnjač branches off to the left, but we continue for a few minutes in a gentle ascent along the southern side of Kozji rob. The path ahead becomes completely flat for some time and passes to the edge of the Gracija valley, where we begin to ascend transversely, first along the slopes of Srednji vrh, later along the slopes of the forepeak of Vrh nad Gracijo. In the continuation, the path becomes somewhat steeper and brings us with beautiful views to the place where it splits.
We can continue further on the mule track, which makes a longer switchback or on the somewhat shorter steep path that ascends directly to Bogatinsko sedlo, where both paths merge.
From the crossroads at Bogatinsko sedlo, from where a beautiful view of Krn and the surrounding mountains opens up, we head right in the direction of Lanževica (left Bogatin and Mahavšček, straight down Lepena, Prehodci, Krn, Krnsko jezero and Koča pri Krnskem jezeru).
In the continuation, with beautiful views, we mostly moderately ascend, in the part where the path flattens, we bypass Vrh nad Gracijo on the left side. A little further, the path via Lepa Komna joins us from the right, and we have another good 20 minutes to the summit of Lanževica, mostly moderate ascent along the scenic southeast ridge of Lanževica.
