Pod Zjabci - Čelo

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving over Vršič Pass towards Bovec. Soon after the Berebica gallery, we arrive in the village of Soča, where we turn left over the bridge across the Soča River (direction tourist farm Jelinčič and camp Korita). After the bridge, we do not turn left towards the camp, but continue driving straight on the ascending asphalt road. Further, we ascend through expansive meadows, in the middle of which stand some individual huts, then the road enters the forest. Higher, the road turns quite to the left and brings us to Pod Zjabcev, where we notice mountain signposts for pasture Za skalo, Dom na Komni and Triglav Lakes. We park at a suitable place by the road.
B) From the Primorska side, first we drive to Bovec, then continue driving towards Trenta. Towards the end of the village of Soča, we turn right in the direction of tourist farm Jelinčič and camp Korita. After the bridge, we do not turn left towards the camp, but continue driving straight on the ascending asphalt road. Further, we ascend through expansive meadows, in the middle of which stand some individual huts, then the road enters the forest. Higher, the road turns quite to the left and brings us to Pod Zjabcev, where we notice mountain signposts for pasture Za skalo, Dom na Komni and Triglav Lakes. We park at a suitable place by the road.

Route description:
From Pod Zjabcev we follow the marked path, which bypasses the nearby huts on the right side. Behind the huts the path goes into the forest and quickly brings us to a smaller junction, where we continue right over the stream. On the other side of the stream, the path turns left and starts moderately ascending through dense forest. We continue the ascent along an old mule track, which is already quite damaged in several places, and which higher brings us to a short steep rocky section. Through the mentioned section a well-maintained and wide mule track leads us, and the path above the mentioned section brings us to a viewpoint, from which a beautiful view opens onto Bavški Grintavec.
From the viewpoint, the path returns to the forest and quickly ascends to an old trough with water (here by the path is a small spring, which dries up in dry periods). Above the trough, the path turns slightly left, then ascends in numerous zigzags through the forest. Higher, the trail levels somewhat and brings us to a less noticeable junction, where an abandoned path to pasture Za skalo branches off to the left.
From here we continue straight ahead, and a somewhat steeper path after 10 minutes of further walking brings us to the next, this time completely unmarked junction. Here an unmarked trail branches off to the right, leading to the nearby hunting hut and further to pasture za Črnim vrhom; to the left a hunting path to pasture Za skalo branches off; we continue straight to the nearby next junction, which is somewhat better marked.
Here we continue straight or slightly right along the marked path in the direction of Triglav Lakes and Komna. We continue along a gentle path through coniferous forest to a path fork.
From the fork we continue on the left path in the direction of Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (straight to Komna and Lanževica), which bypasses Dol za Bajarjem on the left side. The path ahead merely crosses slopes for some time, then briefly ascends and brings us to a small valley, where we arrive at a small junction. At the junction we continue left on the marked path (straight unmarked path (mule track) leading towards Mali vrata), which then ascends laterally across moderately steep grassy slopes. Higher the path leads us through a series of smaller indistinct valleys, then ascends somewhat more and brings us below the cliffs, where there is the next less noticeable junction. Here we continue right (left by a small cairn leads a partly pathless path towards Travniška dolina) and cross slopes below the cliffs for some time, then the path continuing along the old mule track turns slightly left and begins to ascend more steeply. After a shorter steeper section the marked path turns right towards the nearby Velika vrata; we continue straight onto pathless terrain (at the place where we leave the marked path there is a cairn). Here we leave the already little-visited path and continue right through pathless terrain. Initially the passages between dwarf pines and scree terrain are relatively easy, as cairns help us find the "path", though they are indeed rare. We continue the ascent roughly northwards, but there are no direct passages due to the karst terrain. Due to fissures we occasionally have to make quite a large detour. When the "path" finally brings us onto the ridge, the orientation loops end. We continue the ascent along an increasingly panoramic ridge, and the "path" then quickly brings us to the indistinct summit of Glava za Bajto.
Further we descend slightly, then ascend the grassy slope of Čelo to the little-known and even less visited summit.
