Dom na Komni

Basic Information

The view down into Bohinj

The hut is standing on the south-eastern edge of Komna plateau, high above the valley of Bohinj. It was built by Slovenian Mountaineering Association in 1936. During the World War II it was burnt and then rebuilt in 1948. Later it was many times renewed, last time in 2005.

The hut is an excellent starting point for tours on the summits around Komna high plateau, and also for long distance trecks such as towards the Valley of Triglav Lakes, towards Krn lake and over the long range of South Bohinj mountains. From the vicinity of the hut one has very beautiful views: down in Bohinj valley with the big lake, on the rugged summits of Podrta gora group, across Komna plateau and on the summits above the Valley of Triglav Lakes. This makes the hut worth of hike for itself.

Access Routes

From Koča pri Savici

The normal, shortest approach comes from Bohinj valley by a well-beaten, easy mule track. But due to a considerable altitude difference it still requires from an average hiker 2 h 30 min of endurance.

From the big parking place (in summer toll) the marked path first goes only slightly ascending along the creek of Savica. But soon after the tourist path branches right across the creek towards the famous waterfall, our path starts ascending in many switchbacks. They say it is 48 of them. Through beech woods they bring us into the lower part of Pekel valley. Till there only on a few places wies open down towards the big lake and on Pršivec slopes across the valley. In Pekel the path flattens and then starts ascending again by the right slopes of the valley (looking up). We go paralelly to the valley. On one turn we see ahead of us the hut. It looks close, but due to its size we still need some 30 min till there. After a few turns the path reaches the crossroads, where another path branches towards the right - towards Črno jezero. We go straight and the next branching is where another path goes right towards the hut in the Valley of Triglav Lakes. We keep left again and ascend over the last steep slope to the hut.

This path is also used for skiing down. Skiing is nice when there is enough snow on the path, otherwise it requires some additional skills.
