Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Hrušica and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora, but only to the village Dovje at Mojstrana. Here we turn right (direction Dovje) and the road quickly brings us in the mentioned village from where we continue in the direction of Dovška Baba. The road soon behind the village brings us to a crossroad, where we continue on the right road (sharply left Kepa and Borovje). Further, we drive for quite some time to the next crossroad, where we turn sharply left in the direction of Dovška Baba (straight Plavški Rovt). This road which then leads past a grassy meadow named Ravne (few holiday cottages) we follow to a gate, that prohibits further driving. We can park already little lower on one of the parking lots by the road (from Dovje to the starting point, there is approximately 6.5 km).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road by which we've parked. The road which is moderately ascending and leads us past a gate higher flattens and brings us on a smaller saddle between Bela peč on the left and Dovška Baba on the right. The road here turns right and after few additional strides, it brings us to the spot, where a marked footpath branches off to the left upwards.
We continue on the road which in a moderate ascent crosses slopes towards the east. After approximately an hour of walking from the starting point, the road makes a sharp left turn. In the middle of this turn, we will notice at first a poorly visible footpath which at first steeply ascends, and then turns right and crosses slopes of Karawanks towards the east. Occasionally a quite panoramic path, which occasionally slightly ascends and then descends again crosses larger number of torrent gullies (some of them are a little harder to pass). But because the path runs also on steep grassy slopes in wet there is also a great risk of slipping. The path ahead comes on slopes of Hruški vrh, where we will right below us notice the mountain pasture Hruška planina. And the path which is further a little steeper ascending brings us to the hunting cottage Na Rožci, where we step also on a marked path.
