Dovje - Erjavčev rovt (Planina Mlinca) (footpath)

Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Jesenice - West (Hrušica), then continue to Kranjska Gora. Soon you will reach a crossroads where the signs for Dovje direct you to the right onto the road that leads to the village of Dovje, where you will be joined on the left by the road from the monument to Jakob Aljaž and the nearby parish church. At this crossroads, continue to the right and pass a few more houses. Above the village, the road becomes macadam and leads to a crossroads where the road continues to the left towards Kepa and to the right towards Dovška Baba. Park in a suitable place at the crossroads, or lower or higher up the road. There is a parking place at the monument to Jakob Aljaž in Dovje or at the church in Dovje. Parking at the monument or the church will extend your journey by 10 to 15 minutes.
b) First drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue to Jesenice. After Belca you will reach the hamlet of Na Belah (part of Dovje), where you will leave the main road and continue driving towards the nearby church. From the church, continue driving through the village and follow the signs for Dovško Baba. Above the village, the road becomes macadam and leads to a crossroads where the road continues to the left towards Kepa and to the right towards Dovška Baba. Park at a suitable place at the crossroads, but you can also park lower or higher up the road. There is a parking place at the monument to Jakob Aljaž in Dovje or at the church in Dovje. Parking at the monument or the church will extend your journey by 10 to 15 minutes.

Path description:
From the crossroads continue along the left road towards Kepe (right Frauenkogel), which continues to climb moderately. After a few minutes, the walking path from Dovje joins us from the left, and we continue slightly to the right and continue climbing along the scenic road, from which we have a beautiful view of Mojstrana and the peaks of the Julian Alps. The path continues along the road, which turns mainly into a forest, through which it climbs in a few serpentines. Higher up, a marked footpath branches off the road, the start of the footpath is not particularly marked, and the markings only appear a little further on.
Once you catch the trail, continue along the forest path, which leads you past a pleasant bench with a nice view. A few minutes above the bench, we rejoin the road and walk along it to the nearby crossroads, at which there is a small parking lot and signs for Frauenkogel and Kepa.
At this junction, continue right (left Planica, Borovje. . . ) and continue climbing for a few minutes, then, when the road passes over the Mlinca stream bed, it lays down and gradually begins to descend. During the descent, the path leads us past a pleasant little well, and then we reach the confluence of the Žaklja and Mlinka.
Continue along the left-hand Žakelj stream, where there is also a marked trail to Frauenkogel and Kepa. The marked trail soon leaves the riverbed and turns sharp right and crosses over a rather steep slope. When the marked path leaves the slope on a sort of ridge and turns sharp left, we continue only slightly left on cart track, after which, in a minute or two of further walking, we reach Erjavčev rovt, in the middle of which stands a wooden hut.
