Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, at the Podtabor fork, continue in the direction of Ljubelj and Tržič. Continue along the expressway towards Ljubelj, then turn right just before the petrol station in the direction of Tržič and Begunj. The road then starts to descend, and at the first junction we continue left (towards Begunje) into an underpass, through which we arrive at Bistrica near Tržič. A little further on, the sign for Begunje directs us to the right onto a narrower and ascending road, which we then follow through Brezje pri Tržiču to the village of Hudi Graben, where we park at the end of the village at a suitable place next to the mountain direction signs.
Access from Begunj is also possible.
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the main road to the signpost for the end of the Hudi Graben settlement, and a few metres after the signpost, cart track branches off to the right, at which you will also see a signpost with the inscription "Dobrča 2h". Continue along cart track to the first house, and then the signs direct you to the left onto a path that leads through the forest. Soon the path leads to another cart track, which is followed for a short distance, then left along the path. Later we come again to cart track which we then climb for some time. Cart track also has a couple of forks where you keep slightly to the right. The path then becomes slightly steeper and leads us to a crossroads where the path from Zadnje vas joins from the left.
Continue straight ahead on the relatively steep path, which continues through the forest. Higher up, you enter a worse forest road, which you walk along in 10 steps to a wider macadam road. Cross the road, as signs direct you to a footpath which crosses the road a few more times. Follow the footpath, which sometimes climbs quite steeply, all the way to Koča na Dobrči.
In the vicinity of the hut on Dobrča, the markings for the summit of Dobrča direct us to a forest road, which begins to descend gently to the north. After a short descent, we see direction signs pointing us right to Podgorska mountain pasture, whose huts we pass on the right hand side. Next, we climb over a grassy slope with a view, and then the path passes into initially sparse, but higher up, increasingly dense forest. When the slope subsides, two paths join from the right, and in both cases we continue straight ahead. The path ahead climbs steeper again and after a few minutes of further walking leads us to the top of Dobrča.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Šentanski vrh
