Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj and follow the road ahead in the direction of Tržič. Just before the gas station at Tržič we turn right (direction Tržič) and then immediately left (direction Begunje). Soon after Bistrica pri Tržiču a macadam road towards Vila Bistrica branches off sharply to the right. Here we turn right and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the crossroad, we continue on a macadam road in the direction of Vila Bistrica. The road, that is gently ascending in few minutes brings us on asphalt, where we get to a crossroad, by which there is a chapel.
Immediately behind the chapel we continue sharply left on a cart track which on the left side bypasses the nearby residential house (nearby we notice also signposts for Dobrča and Bistriška planina). Cart track quickly passes into the forest and relatively steeply ascends to some sort of the ridge, from which occasionally a view opens up a little towards Kriška gora and Gorenjska. When the ridge ends we continue on the right cart track which returns into forest, we walk there to more grassy part (area named Na planincah).
Further cart track is occasionally relatively steeply ascending, and then it brings us to more successive crossings, where it flattens. At the crossings, we carefully follow the blazes, which eventually from the cart track divert on a forest footpath. Quite gently sloping path then in few minutes brings us to mounain pasture Bistriška planina.
On Bistriška planina we step on the road, and we walk there towards the left, where after few steps we step on other wider road. Other road we follow upwards, and we continue there by the edge of maountain pasture Bistriška planina. The road ahead moderately ascends through the forest and then it brings us on the mountain pasture Breška planina, where there stands a hunting cottage.
We continue on the road which returns into the forest, and it gradually starts ascending steeper. Higher, we come at the marked crossing, where from the left joins a marked footpath from Brezje pri Tržiču, and we continue sharply right on a gradually more and more steep cart track. Next follows approximately 20 minutes of walking on the mentioned cart track, and then the path brings us out of the forest on the bottom part of the mountain pasture Lešanska planina. We continue on the mountain pasture upwards, where we quickly get to the shepherd hut on the mentioned mountain pasture.
From the shepherd hut on Lešanska planina we continue left and we diagonally walk on the other side of the mountain pasture, where the path goes into the forest. We some time walk on a footpath which continues without large changes in altitude, and then we get to a marked crossing, where from the left joins the path from Brezje pri Tržiču, to the right the path branches off towards the summit of Dobrča, and we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči. Next follows a short descent and crossing of a cart track, and then we few more minutes walk through the forest. When the forest ends, we step on the edge of a panoramic mountain pasture Podgorska planina, from where we descend into a small valley, and from there in a minute of additional walking, we ascend to the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči.
