Access to the starting point:
a) Take the Podbrezje exit (to get here from the Gorenjska motorway, take the Naklo or Tržič exit), then follow the signs for Kropa. At Lipnica, do not take the Lipnica exit to Kropa, but continue driving to the right towards Kamna Gorica. A little further on, leave the main road and turn right towards Zgornja Dobrava. After about 500 metres of ascent, we reach Zgornja Dobrava, and we drive on for another 100 metres to a junction on a small pass, where the road to Srednja Dobrava branches off to the right. At this junction, the footpath described above begins, but there are no parking spaces. You can park lower down on the road, or higher up on the part of the path description.
b) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Radovljica, then take exit Mošnje and continue towards the village of Globoko, where you will also cross the Sava River. When you reach Mišače, continue straight on towards Zgornja Dobrava, and in Zgornja Dobrava you will reach a crossroads where the road to Srednja Dobrava branches off to the left. At this junction, the footpath described above begins, but there are no parking spaces. You can park lower down on the road, or higher up on the part of the path description.
Path description:
From the crossroads, take the road that continues north-west (the opposite road from the one leading to Srednja Dobrava), which initially takes you past the goat house and along the beautiful views of Jamnik. When the asphalt ends, we see signs for Ojstra peč, which directs us to a forest road, from which we soon turn right at an unmarked junction onto the wide, initially still passable cart track. Cart track is soon joined on the right by the path from Mišače, and we continue straight ahead on the gradually narrower cart track, which continues with a few short ascents and descents. After about 20 minutes of walking we reach the next marked crossroads where we continue in the route Zjavka (slightly right Ojstra peč 1 minute).
From cart track which we follow, a few steps further on, a wider path branches off to the right (the path leading further towards Pusti grad, Fuxova brv - the path which bypasses Zjavka), and we continue on cart track which continues with some short ascents and descents. After a few minutes, cart track splits, and we continue once more on the left-hand cart track. Cart track descends a little further and then climbs to the Zjavka lookout.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2017 (March).
