Podljubelj (Lajb) - Čisovec

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska Motorway at the Podtabor junction and continue to Border crossing Ljubelj. Continue past the Bistrica pri Tržiču turnoff, and higher up, past the turnoff for Podljubelj. Just after the 4. 5 km marker, turn right after the underpass and then right again into Podljubelj. Park in a suitable place by the sign marking the start of Podljubelj.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue on the overpass over the main road, and after the overpass, the road turns left and descends gently past a nearby house. A little further on, at the next crossroads, we see the first mountain signs for Preval, Begunjščica and Dobrča, which direct us to the ascending macadam road, which leads us past a few more houses, and then passes into the forest. A little higher up, the road turns left and crosses Potočnikov graben via a bridge. The road is closed to public traffic, but we continue along it, with occasional views of the surrounding mountains, to a point where the road markings direct us left into the forest. We climb steeply through the forest for a few minutes, then return to the road, which we follow to a nearby right-hand bend. After the bend, turn left again onto the footpath and follow it back to the road. Again, we do not continue on the road for long, but the signs for Preval, Begunjščica and Roblek's home point us slightly right on the relatively steep cart track. After cart track, with occasional views, we climb up to the place where we join the Borna trail, and from the crossroads we continue to the left and then, passing a pasture fence, in a few minutes we climb up to mountain pasture Preval, where on the left, slightly higher, we see a pastoral farm, from which we get a beautiful view that reaches all the way to the Triglav Mountains.
We bypass the hut on the left, and we continue our journey in the direction of Dobrča. The marked path towards Dobrča, which we continue on, passes an unnamed peak on the left, and when the path returns to the ridge, we reach it at the saddle between Čisovec and the unnamed peak.
At this saddle, the marked trail to Dobrča turns right downhill, and we continue along a fainter path that continues along the ridge (one of the paths also leads to the left of the ridge). The ridge climbs steeply a few times, and the fainter path is completely lost several times due to fallen trees, but there are no problems with orientation, as we keep to the ridge the whole time. When the forest thins out, we quickly reach the scenic peak of Čisovec.
Lajb - Preval-a 1:30, Preval-a - Čisovec 30 minutes. Description and figures refer to the situation in 2017 (January, March).
