Koča pri Savici - Čelo (via Komna)

Access to the starting point:
From the Gorenjska highway (exit Lesce), Železnikov or Soriška planina, take the Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue driving in the direction of Lake Bohinj. When you reach the lake, go around it on the left and continue driving towards the Savica Waterfall. Park in the pay parking lot next to the Cottage at Savica.

Path description:
From the parking lot, take the wide path that climbs along the river Savica (direction Komna and waterfall Savica). After two minutes of easy walking, you will reach a small house (a small kiosk), where the path to the waterfall branches off to the right, and we continue straight towards our home on the Komna. The way forward leads us along an old military causeway and climbs in many switchbacks, all the way through the forest. After crossing 48 serpentines, the path leads us into an unmarked valley between Dobračeva glava and Plešo. This valley is called Pekel. The ascent continues up a less steep slope, where you can see a cave on the right that was made during the war. Ten minutes before the Komna lodge you reach a crossroads, where you go left (right Black Lake). A few steps further on you reach the next crossroads, where the path to the right branches off and leads to the hut by the Triglav Lakes (left Komna lodge 5 minutes).
Continue in the direction of the huts at Triglav Lakes along the path which, after a few more steps, leads to the next crossroads. Continue to the right again (left hut Koča pod Bogatinom) and continue the ascent along the path, which ascends slightly a few times and then descends again.
A little further on, the path from the hut below Bogatin joins us, and we continue on towards the hut by the Triglav Lakes. The pleasant mountain path then crosses the abandoned mountain pasture Razor, and a little later the marshy one at Kal. Further on, the path descends a little more significantly and leads us to the abandoned mountain pasture Lopučnica.
Continue left towards mountain pasture Za skalo (slightly to the left, the house at Komna) along a less well-trodden path which crosses the slopes of mountain pasture to the north-west. The path, which passes through tall grasses (in summer), crosses a little higher up the lane of sparse woodland and then turns slightly to the left. The path then climbs steeply and, within a few minutes of further walking, leads to a karst world of potholes and scrapes. Here the path lays down and starts to disappear into the rocky world (follow the markings carefully). At this point, we have a wonderful view of the mountains surrounding the Triglav Lakes Valley. The marked trail is then followed only as far as the Velika vrata prevala, which is reached after a few more minutes of gentle ascent. On the other side of the Great Gate, leave the already little-visited path and continue right along the pathless world. At first, the transitions between dwarf pines and the scabrous world are relatively easy, as cairns help us find the "way", which are admittedly rare. The ascent continues in a somewhat northerly direction, but there are no direct passages due to the karst world. Because of the crevasses, we have to make quite a big detour from time to time. When the "path" just leads us to the ridge, the orientation loops are over. We continue our ascent along the increasingly scenic ridge, and the "path" then quickly leads us to the inexpressible summit of Glave za Bajto.
Next, we descend slightly, then climb the grassy slope of Čela to a little-known and even less-visited peak.
