Path description:
From the starting point, we continue in the direction of Kepa and Dovška Baba on an ascending road which leads us through Dovje. After a short ascent, we get to a crossroad at the chapel, where from the left joins the path from the parish church in Dovje. At the mentioned crossroad, we continue right, and after few meters at the next crossroad left in the direction of house numbers 43-50 and 75-105. We continue on a narrower asphalt road which is ascending among houses, and at the next crossroad, we continue slightly right in the direction of numbers 49, 78-81A 83-90A, 92, 96-97. A little further, where a road branches off to the right towards the house numbers 88 and 89A, we continue straight and we continue on the road which after the village loses an asphalt covering. At the end of the village a nice view opens up on Dovje and Jerebikovec, and the road then passes into the forest through which is ascending diagonally. Further, we cross also stream Sedučnikov potok, and then on an asphalt road, we ascend to the farm Sedučnik. Next follows some walking on an asphalt road past a cross and hayrack to residential houses and business building, where the path leads close by the house. Behind the yard we cross the fence and the path which further runs on a cart track passes into the forest. At the first crossing above the farm we go right, and then we continue diagonally towards the right. Higher, the path leads past a pleasant well (source of the stream Sedučnik). Above the stream we stick to the right direction, and then we soon step on a macadam road which we reach right on a turn. We follow the road to the left about 100 meters and then a wide cart track branches off to the right, which leads towards Rovt Vrse.
We continue on the mentioned cart track, on which we quickly get to cottages on Rovt Vrse.
Here we continue straight, so on the left side of both cottages, where above the meadow we notice a little poorly beaten footpath which higher passes on a cart track which is ascending through at first a thin forest. Cart track soon ends, and we continue the ascent at first by the torrent ditch, and higher footpath passes into ditch, which isn't so distinct anymore. On the mentioned ditch we in few minutes ascend on a small saddle between Planica on the left and Borovje on the right.
On the saddle named Šija 1 we continue right (sharply left Planica, left Kepa over Kurjeki, straight downwards Erjavčev rovt on pathless terrain (very demanding)) and we at first diagonally ascend towards the right, and then the path passes on a ridge, where starts ascending steeply. Higher, the footpath, from which for some time a view opens up towards Kepa and Dovška Baba flattens and only a little higher turns right, where passes on steep slopes. Over mentioned slopes we diagonally ascend, and then we join "ridge" path.
Here we continue left and short time we cross towards the right. After a shorter traversing, we step out of the forest on more rocky terrain, over which over slightly exposed slope we ascend to a cross on Borovje.
