Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Brezje, Radovljica or Lesce, and then we continue driving in the direction of Begunje na Gorenjskem. When we get to Begunje we drive through the center of the settlement, at the crossroads we follow the signs for castle Grad Kamen and mountain hut Dom v Dragi. On the other side of the settlement main road turns right towards Tržič, and we continue straight on a narrower road which quickly leads into a valley Dolina Draga. A short time we drive on an asphalt road, and then the asphalt ends and the road brings us to the parking lot in front of the mountain hut Dom v Dragi. Because in front of the mountain hut only guests are allowed to park, we continue right, and after good 100 meters of additional driving, we park on one of the two large macadam parking lots.
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 left on the road (right Preval-a over Luknja and Begunjščica over Preval-o), which starts ascending through scenic gorge. Further, we are for some time ascending on the road, and then blazes point us to the left on a footpath which starts ascending steeply. Higher, the steepness decreases a little and marked path 3 times crosses a forest road (2 different roads). The path which mostly runs through the forest higher brings us to the bottom part of the mountain pasture Planinca. Here blazes point us to the right (ascent straight over mountain pasture is forbidden) on diagonal path, which in few steps of additional walking brings us to the road which we follow to the left.
Already after few 10 strides of walking on the road we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight (sharply right mountain pasture Preval-a). Here short path branches off to the left, which brings us to cottages on the mountain pasture Planinca, and we continue straight on the road all the way to the mountain hut Tomčeva koča na Poljški planini, which we reach after 15 minutes of additional walking.
From the mountain hut Tomčeva koča we continue right following the signs Roblekov dom and we continue the ascent on the path which passes into the forest. The path through the forest is moderately ascending and it soon brings us to the spot, where there are logs intended for heating the mountain hut Roblekov dom. If we are in the mood and we have enough strength we can carry a log to the hut (they will be very grateful).
Higher forest is becoming thinner, and the path steeper and steeper. From wide and well-made path, which is in rain quite muddy occasionally nice views open up. The path then turns a little to the left and it brings us to the spot, where from the right side joins the path from the mountain pasture Preval-a.
We continue on the left path, which after additional 10 minutes of a diagonal ascent brings us to the mountain hut.
