Koča pri Savici - Koča na Planini pri Jezeru (via Planina Viševnik)

Access to the starting point:
Drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue in the direction of Bohinjsko jezero, the ski resort Vogel and the Savica waterfall. Continue along the left (south) side of the lake, past Ukanec and the starting point for the Vogel ski resort, to the pay parking area at Koča pri Savici, where you park.

Path description:
From the parking lot turn right in the direction of Črno jezero, Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Hotel Zlatorog (straight ahead Dom na Komni and the Savica waterfall). The route initially leads along a dirt road, which crosses the Savica River via a bridge. Just after the bridge, the signs for Komarča direct us to the left (straight Hotel Zlatorog) on what is at first still a fairly wide and relatively winding forest path. However, the path soon starts to climb steeper and leads us a little higher to a place where the path to the spring Savica branches off to the left, and we continue to the right on an increasingly steep path.
The well-maintained and relatively wide mountain trail, however, soon switches to the very steep and dangerous for slipping slopes of Komarče (there is also a high risk of falling rocks). The way forward climbs steeply on the mostly forested wall of Komarče, where we are helped in the more difficult places by the fixed safety gear (mainly by jeklenice).
Higher up, the route opens up some views towards Bohinj, and the path leads us to a short technically difficult place where we cross an otherwise not-so-exposed gully with the help of crampons and a rope. The way forward is still steeply climbing for some time and with the help of some fixed safety gear leads us to the top of Komarče, from where we get a nice view of our starting point. There is a short moderately steep climb, and then the path begins to descend gently towards Črno jezero, which is reached after less than 5 minutes of further walking.
A few steps before the lake, the marked trail turns right and quickly leads to a crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of mountain pasture Viševnik and Pršivec (directly Koča pri Triglavskih jezeraih). The trail continues for some time through the dense forest, then crosses a short scenic slope and then returns to the forest. Here, on the right-hand side, a few tens of metres below the path, you will hear an interesting karst spring, which descends immediately after the spring via Komarča. (If you have the time and inclination, you can descend to the spring, but be careful as the spring ends with steep precipitous slopes).
The path, which passes through a little-visited area called Dol pod Stadorjem, flattens out for a short time and leads to a small valley, at the bottom of which the cold air often lingers. The path, which is often quite wet, continues into the forest, where it begins to climb steeply. A very quiet path emerges from the forest just before mountain pasture Viševnik, which is only a 5-minute easy walk away.
From mountain pasture Viševnik continue straight on in the direction Koča na planini pri Jezeru (sharp left mountain pasture Ovčarija, right mountain pasture Vogar, sharp right Pršivec) and start descending moderately at first. After a few steps downhill, a path branches off to the left across Krištofojca, leading to mountain pasture Dedno polje, and we continue straight ahead and keep descending. There are a few downhills and transitional sloping sections, then a steep descent through the forest. As we leave the forest we reach the edge of mountain pasture at Jezero, and we descend to a marked crossroads at the central part of mountain pasture.
Here we continue slightly to the right (left mountain pasture Dedno polje) and within a minute or two we climb to the Mountain Hut at mountain pasture near Jezero.
