K-B2 Hut near the Krn lakes (Monte Nero) - Ukanc

Walk of Peace
Linear route Scenic Cultural/historical interest Flora Fauna Insider tip

Complex stage on the mountain side, taking the hiker into the heart of the Julian Alps, in direct contact with their beauties between Krn and Lake Bohinj.

This is a harsh stretch that, winding between the two lakes and the natural beauties of these territories, pushes those who undertake it to come into contact not only with the marks of the front lines but also of its rear areas, as well as with traces from different periods, places marked not only by the Great War but also by the period immediately after. Crowning all this is the beauty of the mountain landscape, of pastures, forests, crystal-clear waters, and steep peaks, splendid and almost untouched.

Directions

The route starts from the hut near the Krn lakes and heads toward the homonymous lake. Below the Duplje mountain pasture, there is a Hungarian cross where a cemetery that once hosted soldiers of various nationalities stood. From here, it continues towards the Komna plateau along mule tracks and paths that led from Bohinj to the front. In the Za Lepočami basin, ruins dating back to the Rapallo Treaty period are still visible. From there, the route proceeds to the Bogatin saddle, with a magnificent view of the Komna plateau, then descends through the Gracija valley to the Na kraju mountain pasture where the Dom pod Bogatinom hut is located along with some remains from the Great War. At the edge of the plateau stands the Dom na Komni hut, supplied by a funicular built where the cableway that brought supplies to the battlefield used to pass. The route continues along a mule track to the foot of the Komarča wall, the departure point for excursions to the Savica river waterfall. From here, a path leads to Ukanc, the stage endpoint.
