Access to starting point:
A) We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Jesenice - zahod (Hrušica), and then we continue driving towards Kranjska Gora. We will soon get to a crossroad, where signs for Dovje point us to the right on the road, on which we get to the village Dovje, where from the left join also the road from the monument of Jakob Aljaž and nearby parish church. At the mentioned crossroad, we continue right and we drive past few more houses. Above the village, the road becomes a macadam and it brings us to a crossroad, where left continues the road towards Kepa, and right towards Dovška Baba. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad, or we can park also lower or higher by the road. And a settled parking lot is situated by the monument of Jakob Aljaž in Dovje or at the church in Dovje. If we park at the monument or at the church, the path extends for 10 to 15 minutes.

Above the village, the road becomes a macadam and it brings us to a crossroad, where left continues the road towards Kepa, and right towards Dovška Baba. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad, or we can park also lower or higher by the road.

Path description:
From the crossroad, we continue on the left road in the direction of Kepa (right - Dovška Baba), and it is still moderately ascending. After few minutes from the left joins also a walking path from Dovje, and we continue slightly right and further we are ascending on a panoramic road, from which a nice view opens up on Mojstrana and peaks of the Julian Alps. We still continue on the road, and it mainly passes into the forest, through which it ascends in few hairpin turns. Higher from the road, a marked footpath branches off, which few times crosses a road, and we walk on the road to a little bigger crossroad, by which there is a smaller parking lot and signs for Dovška Baba and Kepa.
At the mentioned crossroad, we continue left (right - Erjavčev rovt, Kepa and Dovška baba) on an unmarked road which is diagonally ascending towards the left. After the crossing a large torrent, the path entirely flattens, and then continues without large changes in altitude. After approximately 15 to 20 minutes from the last crossroad we get to the spot, where the path on Borovje branches off to the right - path on the ridge (turn-off is marked with a cairn), and we still continue on the road which occasionally leads also on panoramic slopes. A little further, the road turns to the right, and from the left joins also an unmarked path from the farm Sedučnik. About 100 meters ahead from the mentioned turn, a wide cart track branches off to the right, which leads towards Rovt Vrse.
We continue on the mentioned cart track, on which we quickly get to cottages on Rovt Vrse.
