Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway on crossing Podtabor, and then we continue driving towards Tržič, Ljubelj and Celovec. In front of a gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we leave the main road, and then at the crossroads we follow the signs for Begunje na Gorenjskem. When Bistrica pri Tržiču ends, soon the road towards the church of St. Jurij branches off sharply to the right (by the crossroad we can see also signs for Vila Bistrica), and on the main road, we continue to the nearby left turn, where before water catchment Žegnani studenec and before the small bridge we turn right, where we then park on an appropriate place.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a cart track which starts ascending by the stream Blajšnica. Cart track, on which we are ascending has higher more crossings, and on all of them we continue straight, where the path leads past numerous water catchments. Higher, we reach the macadam road which leads from Brezje pri Tržiču towards Bistriška planina, and we follow it to the right, and there we walk only for a short time. On the part, where the road widens and where they occasionally store some logs, from the road to the left an unmarked footpath branches off, on which we continue. Next follows an ascent through the forest, and when the path turns a little to the right, we go past an older trough, after which for some time we get into a smaller valley, where we go past interesting conglomerate rocks, and then we reach a side macadam road which we follow to the left. The road soon splits into two wider cart tracks, and we continue on the right, which starts ascending. After a short ascent, the cart track turns right and it starts ascending diagonally. After the turn we go from a wider cart track sharply to the left on a little narrower cart track, to which few 10 strides ahead from the left joins the cart track which branched off from the wider cart track at the right turn.
Then follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent, and when we reach the southeastern ridge of Dobrča, we go right and on a beaten footpath in few minutes we ascend on Vaško, one of the peaks of Dobrča.
