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, which crosses the road a few times, and we walk along the road to a slightly larger crossroads, at which there is a small parking lot and signs for Frauenkogel and Kepa.
At this junction, continue left (right Erjavčev rovt, Mittagskogel and Dovška baba) along the unmarked road, which climbs steeply to the left. After crossing a large torrent, the path completely flattens out and then continues without any major changes in elevation. After about 15 to 20 minutes from the last crossroads, we reach a point where the path to Borovje branches off to the right - the ridge path (the branch is marked with a small sign), and we continue along the road, which occasionally still leads us over the viewing slopes. A little further on the road turns to the right, and from the left we join the unmarked path from Sedučnik Farm. About 100 metres further on from the bend, a wide cart track branches off to the right, leading towards the Vrse ravine.
Continue along the above-mentioned cart track, which leads quickly to the huts on the above-mentioned rovt.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Borovje,
Planica
