Koča pri Savici - Pršivec

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

Path description:
From the parking lot, turn right in the direction of Črno jezero, Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and Hotel Zlatorog. The route initially leads along a dirt road, which crosses the Savica River via a bridge. Just after the bridge, the signs for Komarčo direct us left (straight ahead Hotel Zlatorog) onto 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 path continues to climb 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, we get some views of Bohinj from the path, 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 to the cottage at the Triglav Lakes). 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. In the middle of mountain pasture you come to a crossroads where you continue sharp right in the direction of Pršivec along a path that climbs transversely towards the western part of mountain pasture. The path then turns slightly more to the left and starts to climb steeply. The ascent is short and ends with a slight descent, after which you reach the May Cave (an abyss explored to a depth of 592 m). Just a little further on, the path begins to climb steeply towards the top of Pršivec, which is reached after about 20 minutes of further walking on an increasingly scenic slope.
Savica - Črno jezero 1:30, Črno jezero - Pršivec 2:15.
