Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and follow the road in the route Kranjska Gora, but only as far as the village Dovje near Mojstrana. Turn right here (direction Dovje) and the road will quickly lead you to the mentioned village from where you will continue in the route Frauenkogel. The road will lead you to a crossroads shortly after the village, where you will continue on the right road (sharp left Mittagskogel and Borovje). Continue for some time to the next crossroads, where you turn sharp left in the direction of Frauenkogel (straight ahead Plavški Rovt). Follow this road, which then leads you past the grassy hay meadows called Ravne (a few holiday homes), to a ramp which prohibits further driving. You can park a little further down the road in one of the car parks along the road (from Dovje to the starting point is about 6. 5 km).
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road along which you parked. The road, which climbs moderately and takes us past the ramp, then climbs higher and takes us to a small saddle between Bele peči on the left and Frauenkogel on the right. The road turns right here and after a few further steps leads to a point where a marked footpath branches off up to the left.
Take this path, which climbs steeply and takes you through the forest and past the little well of Starka (1 minute walk from the path) to the bottom of mountain pasture Dovšek Rosenbachsattel. Here the path turns slightly to the left and after a further 10 steps leads us to the hut at mountain pasture Dovška Rožca (you can also go here by road).
From the shepherd's hut continue towards Frauenkogel, then after two minutes on the left side you will see a path which turns into the dwarf pines lane. Take the above-mentioned path (the trailhead is not marked), which crosses the western slopes of Dovška Baba in a gentle descent. The path then turns slightly more to the left and leads quickly past the hunting observatory to the Mlinca saddle. Continue straight along the 'marked' path (Plevelnikov Ridge on the right by the state border), which passes into a belt of compacted forest. A little further on, the forest thins out and the path leads to a marked crossroads at the Koritec well.
At the crossroads, continue straight on (left down Erjavčev rovt) and cross the slopes covered with dwarf pines in a slight ascent. The ascent steepens a few times and the views of the Julian Alps start to get better and better. We continue our ascent, crossing the steep slopes to the west, and soon reach a ridge where a view of the Austrian side opens up. We continue along a relatively narrow ridge for a short distance, then the trail turns left and ascends steep grassy slopes below the Huhnerkogel peak. The path leads to an indistinct ridge on the south side of the peak, where a view opens up towards Kepa. If you wish to visit the summit of Gubno, leave the marked trail at this point and turn right onto the trackless path and reach the summit in a few minutes.
