Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Radovljica (from Gorenjska side exit Lesce) and follow the road ahead in the direction of Begunje. At the end of the village Begunje we turn left towards the mountain hut Dom v Dragi (right Tržič). Asphalt road then brings us to the parking lot near the mountain hut in Draga. We park a little further, parking in front of the hut Dom v Dragi is allowed only for guests.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which past a bee house in few minutes of walking, it brings us to a crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain pasture Preval over Luknja (left mountain pasture Planinca, mountain pasture Poljška planina and Roblekov dom). The path ahead crosses the stream and is then for some time ascending gently on the bottom of the valley.
Further, valley narrows and the path in a moderate ascent brings us to narrow gully, through which with the help of fixed safety gear we ascend steep upwards.
A short secured part technically isn't that difficult, but it is exposed to falling stones.
Higher, the path brings us from the gully, where then for some time continues along the stream. Next follows an ascent on shorter ladder (undemanding), and then the path passes into the forest, where we continue until we get on a worse road.
The mentioned road, we follow only few steps, and then blazes point us to the right on a marked footpath which continues on and by the cart track. Higher, the cart track finally turns into a footpath which goes a little more to the right and starts steeper and steeper ascending. This in the last part relatively steep path, we follow all the way to the mountain pasture Preval-a, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking. On the mountain pasture stands also shepherd hut, to which get in few additional strides of walking.
Hut, from which a beautiful view opens up, which reaches all the way to Triglav, we bypass on the left side, and we continue in the direction of Dobrča. The marked path towards Dobrča, on which we continue, further on the left side bypasses unnamed peak, and when the path returns on the ridge, we reach it on the saddle between Čisovec and unnamed peak.
On the mentioned saddle marked path towards Dobrča turns right downwards (straight unmarked path on Čisovec) and passes on the western slopes of Čisovec, where the path leads diagonally through occasionally quite steep slopes. Next follows a longer crossing on badly maintained path, which is usually full of leaves, and because of erosion on many spots also a little damaged. Further, we cross also some gullies, after that the slope becomes less steep, and from the path occasionally a view opens up a little towards Begunjščica, Stol, Julian Alps, Gorenjska...
Even a little further, we reach the south ridge of Čisovec, where the path starts descending (here we can few steps from the path notice site of auriculas, usually in April or May), and occasionally opens up also a view on Kamnik Savinja Alps. Lower path descends even steeper, and then it brings us on a saddle Vrh Luž, where from the left joins an unmarked path past waterfall Tominčev slap, and from the right path from the stream Črni potok.
We continue straight, mainly on a ridge, on which we are occasionally ascending. Later from the right joins also the path which leads over Ledene trate, and our path further gradually from the ridge turns a little right and passes on steeper and steeper slopes of Dobrča. Next follows a diagonal ascent through steep slopes, where in wet additional caution is needed, and then the path flattens and over a grazing fence brings us on a cart track, and there we walk to the edge of the mountain pasture Podgorska planina, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči (left Dobrča, right road on which we descend into Zadnja vas), which after 3 minutes of additional walking, we also reach.
