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-e, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
From Preval we continue on a slightly ascending road in the direction of the mountain hut Roblekov dom and mountain pasture Poljška planina. After approximately 15 minutes of easy walking on the macadam road we will on the right side notice a trough with water and above it signposts for Roblekov dom (over Roža). We go on this path, which ascends through a lane of a forest and after few minutes brings us on unvegetated southern slopes of Begunjščica. The path ahead is ascending diagonally towards the west, and meanwhile it crosses few steep gullies. The path on some spots is even secured with iron spikes, so that snowless it doesn't represent bigger problems. After approximately half an hour of walking from the spot, when we left the road, we get to a pleasant bench, which is situated direct by a well (source) named Roža. A moderately steep path crosses few more gullies, and then flattens and brings us in a short lane of a forest, where we join the normal path on Roblekov dom. Here we continue right and the path which is moderately ascending we follow to Roblekov dom on Begunjščica, which we reach after 10 minutes of additional walking.
The starting point - Preval-a 1:30, Preval-a - Roblekov dom 1:30.
