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) and we drive further to the village Brezje pri Tržiču. In the village Brezje pri Tržiču, on the top of the ascent, we turn right towards Bistriška planina. After approximately 100 meters we come to the crossroad, where we turn right on the forest road. The road which is further relatively steeply ascending after a time brings us to Bistriška planina, where on a parking lot by the road we park (Brezje pri Tržiču - Bistriška planina 3.1 km, of this 2.6 km macadam).
Path description:
From the parking lot at Bistriška planina we continue on a macadam road which after a short ascent brings us on the mountain pasture Breška planina, which we recognize by a wooden cottage. The worse road then brings us to a crossing, where we continue right on a steep cart track in the direction of the mountain pasture Lešanska planina. Cart track on which we are then ascending has some crossings, but if we follow the blazes it without any bigger problems brings us on the mentioned mountain pasture, from which a nice view opens up on Storžič and Tolsti vrh.
On the mountain pasture, where there stands also a shepherd hut of open type, we have two options to continue. We choose right, which is a little shorter and more panoramic. The path which is a little poorly marked at first runs on the eastern part of the mountain pasture, where makes a left turn and then after additional few minutes joins the normal path on Dobrča. Here we continue sharply right and we follow the forest path to the top of Dobrča, where we notice a signpost for Šentanski vrh, which points us downwards on a small saddle between the both peaks. Follows only a light ascent to panoramic Šentanski vrh, which we reach after few ten strides.
