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, where we park on an appropriate place near the church.
Path description:
From the church of St. Neža few 10 strides we continue on the road towards Begunje, and then signs for Dobrča point us to the right on a little narrower road, on which we quickly get to a marked crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Lešanska and Bistriška planina (left normal footpath on Dobrča). For few minutes we continue on a relatively steep asphalt road, and then we get to avalanche slope, where the asphalt ends. At the spot, where the asphalt ends is a nice viewpoint, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Kriška gora and part of Gorenjska. After the vantage point road passes into the forest and then it is gently to moderately ascending all the way to the mountain pasture Bistriška planina, which is located a little right from the road.
From the mountain pasture Bistriška planina we continue on the road which ascends through the forest and then it brings us on 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.
