Brezje pri Tržiču - Dobrča (via koča na Dobrči)

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 drive ahead to the village Brezje pri Tržiču, where we park on a parking lot near the church.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road towards Begunje, but only to a spot, where it starts descending. Here the road which leads on the mountain pasture Bistriška planina branches off to the right (by the crossroad there are also signposts for Dobrča), we walk there only for few minutes, and then at the crossroad we go left in the direction of Dobrča (right road leads on the mountain pasture Bistriška planina).
From the crossroad ahead we continue on a little rough road, on which we walk approximately 1 minute, and then blazes lead us to the right on a footpath which continues along the fence. For some time we are moderately ascending by the fence, and then after approximately 20 minutes of walking from the starting point, we get to on a wide, but steep cart track. On cart track we are ascending to a bit thinner forest, where blazes point us sharply right upward. Further are ascending steeply through the forest and after 15 minutes of additional walking, we get to abandoned watering place for animals. Here the path turns to the left and ascending gently below an indistinct peak Vaško. A little further, we get to on a smaller saddle between the already mentioned peak on the right and slopes of Dobrča on the left.
Next follows a short ascent and the path brings us to the spot, where we cross nearby forest road (we cross the road right on the spot where it ends). Further, we are ascending for some time on a wide and the forest ridge, on which we walk all the way to a paragliding take off point, which is located on the southern slopes of Dobrča.
Here wide path branches off to the right, which continues towards the mountain pastures Lešanska and Bistriška planina, and we continue straight and at first, we walk by the edge of the forest. Quickly we return into the forest and then we are ascending relatively steeply in zig-zags. At the altitude approximately 1400 meters above the sea level we get to the cart track which we only cross, after that only a little higher we get to a marked crossing, where from the right side joins the path from Lešanska planina, in the direction of straight the path continues towards the summit Dobrča, and we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči. Next follows a short descent and the path returns on the before mentioned cart track (cart track which we only crossed), and on which we walk only for a short time because then blazes lead a little to the left. Further without large changes in altitude we cross slopes of Dobrča towards the west, and then we step out of the forest on panoramic mountain pasture Podgorska planina.
From the mountain pasture, from which we already see the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči, at first we slightly descend and then ascend to the nearby mountain hut.
Near the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči signs for the peak Dobrča point us on the forest road, on which we start slightly descending towards the north. After a short descent, we notice signposts, which point us to the right on the mountain pasture Podgorska planina, which cottages we bypass on the right side. Next, we ascend on a panoramic grassy slope, and then the path passes into at first thin, and higher more and more dense forest. When the steepness decreases from the right join two paths, and we in both cases continue straight. The path ahead again steeply ascends and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit of Dobrča.
