Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Radovljica (from the Gorenjska side take the exit Lesce) and follow the road towards Begunj. In Begunje, turn right towards Tržič, and follow the slightly narrower road to the village of Slatna. As there are no suitable parking spaces in the village, we park in a suitable space on the roadside in front of or behind the village.
Path description:
Continue along the main road to the centre of the village, where you will see a red signpost "2h 15min" along the road, which directs you past a few houses into the forest. Initially still quite wide, the path then leads to the Slatna water reservoir. Further on, the path becomes slightly narrower and leads us through the forest to cart track, where we join the path from Begunj.
At cart track, continue to the right and keep climbing through the forest. Higher up, you will come to a mountain road, which you follow for a few metres to the left, and then the signs point you right into the forest again. Continue walking eastwards through the forest for a long distance. Cross the mountain road twice, then soon join the path from Hudi Graben and Zadnja vas.
At the crossroads, continue left along the footpath, which crosses the mountain road a few more times higher up. Follow this path, which climbs quite steeply at times, all the way to Koča na Dobrči.
Near the Hut on Dobrča, the signs for the summit of Dobrča direct us to a forest road, which begins to descend gently northwards. After a short descent, you will see direction signs directing you to the right to Maria Elender Alm, with the hut on the right hand side. We continue up a grassy slope with a view, then the path turns into a forest, which is sparse at first, but becomes more and more dense as we go higher up. As the slope eases, two paths join from the right, and in both cases we continue straight ahead. The path ahead climbs steeply again and after a few minutes of further walking leads us to the top of Dobrča.
From Dobrča we continue in the direction of Šentanski vrh along the path which first descends into a small valley between the two peaks, then climbs moderately and after a few 10 steps of further walking leads us to Šentanski vrh.
