Bohinj, Savici to Komni hut

Having travelled from Klagenfurt by bus (thanks for the early morning lift, N&M!), we dropped off our luggage with the kind TIC and caught the bus along Lake Bohinj to the end of the road! We made a wet ascent of 900m from Slap Savici up an old wartime supply route to Dom na Komni.

We met a really interesting and inspiring English guy who was on day 76 of the Via Alpina route from Monaco to Trieste. We chatted for most of the evening and at breakfast and really enjoyed his company. With a 13kg rucksack, he's camped about 50% of the time. One of his vital pieces of kit has been a water filter. Having forgotten our water purification tablets and paid in excess of €4 for a 1.5 litre bottle of still water at some huts, it's probably worth £40 if it cleanses up to 100,000 litres! We confirmed that a print in the mud that he photographed earlier that day, about 30 minutes from the hut, was in fact a bear's.
