Ski hotel Vogel - Podrta gora (po Bohinjski planinski poti)

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 road to the bottom station of the pendulum at Vogel, then buy a ticket and take the cable car to the top station, which is the starting point for our tour, unless we shorten it further (by 30 min) by taking the quad chair to Orlov glave. The chairlift is also open in the summer season.

Path description:
The route passes Ski hotel Vogel, past the Merjasec mountain hut and down the ski slope past the Storeč station and the quad chairlift leading to Orlove glave (there is also the option of a chairlift, which shortens the route by 30 minutes). The route then passes under the quad chairlift to the upper station of the Eagle's Heads. Here it continues under the chairlift to the upper station Šija. The route initially follows a transport road for the ski resort, but soon narrows to a footpath. At the edge of the Šija - Last Vogel ski slope (i. e. just before the steepest section of all the Vogel ski slopes), turn right and cross the ski slope and continue westwards under the slopes of Šija. At the next crossroads one can continue along the upper ridge path (difficult) or along the slightly longer lower easy path, which starts to descend and turns slightly right, giving one the feeling of going the wrong way. Soon the trail from the top station of the double chairlift Last Vogel joins. Here the path continues to the left and then descends a little further. The path then picks up its rhythm and starts to climb gently. A little further on, there is a crossroads where there is a signpost for Vogel, which is followed up the path. The path starts to climb here and soon rejoins the difficult path and in further steps leads to the Vrata or Vratca notch, which is the second lowest point between Primorska and Gorenjska, from Mangart to Črna Prsta (after Vršič). The path then leads along a ridge which is steep and difficult, but well protected. The trail then crosses the slopes and leads to the crossroads for Vogel, from which it continues straight in the direction of Konjsko sedlo , which is reached by a scenic and gentle trail. From the saddle, the path descends behind the "Komna" markers and crosses the slopes on the western side of Bohinjski Migovec (1896 m). At the next crossroads, it continues left (right Komna) in the direction of the hut at mountain pasture Razor.
After a short crossing, the path leads past a small valley where it descends from the slopes of Bohinjski Migovec to the rockier slopes of Vrch nad Škrbino. Here the path turns slightly right and passes over a small rough scree slope. The path continues along the left-hand side, bypassing a small konto, which retains snow throughout the year. On the other side of the conte, the path starts to climb steeply towards Škrbina, which is reached after about 15 minutes of further ascent. At Škrbini, you can see the coastal side. To the left or straight ahead is the path to Pl. Razor and towards Vrh nad Škrbino, and to the right towards Podrta gora, Zeleni vrh and Tolminski Kuk. The path then crosses the slopes below Podrta gora and climbs gently. When the trail is relatively close to Zeleni vrh and reaches its unmarked maximum, and the slope to the right is scree, it is best to turn off to the trackless trail up the steep bank. Bear left from the summit and first cross the ridge to follow it to the summit. It is also possible to go directly down the bank and over the rocks to the summit, but this approach is a shade more difficult. It is not without some light scrambling. From the top there is a beautiful view of Bohinjsko jezero and the Triglav kingdom.
