Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Hrušica and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora, but only to the village Dovje at Mojstrana. Here we turn right (direction Dovje) and the road quickly brings us in the mentioned village from where we continue in the direction of Dovška Baba. The road soon behind the village brings us to a crossroad, where we continue on the right road (sharply left Kepa and Borovje). We follow this road good 100 meters, whereupon we over the bridge cross a stream Mlinca, after which on the left side we notice mountain signposts for Dovška Baba. We park on one of the parking lots by the road.
Path description:
Signposts for Dovška Baba, point us to the left on a footpath which starts ascending through the forest. After few minutes of ascent we step out of the forest, on a little larger clearing, where we also step on a cart track. We continue the ascent on a cart track which past a smaller cottage brings us to the spot, where they are building a new house (holiday cottage).
Here cart the track ends, and we continue behind the house, on at first a little poorly visible footpath. The path quickly passes into a dense forest, where with the exception of some smaller panoramic clearings, continues all the way to an abandoned mountain pasture Goreljše.
Here the path turns left, ascends past the cottage and after a short ascent, it brings us to a cart track which in a moderate ascent we follow towards the east. After few minutes of panoramic walk through mountain pasture, the path brings us to the next decaying cottage, behind which we continue left and after few additional strides, we step on the forest road.
The mentioned road, we only cross and we continue the ascent on a marked path, which returns into the forest. We continue the ascent through pleasant forest, which ends on the scree of Bela peč. Over scenic landscape we ascend in a gentle ascent, and then the path passes into the forest, where we continue all the way until we get on the forest road.
We continue the ascent on the road which already after few steps it brings us to the spot, where we leave it, because blazes point us to the left on a steep footpath which is further ascending through the forest. The path higher crosses a grazing fence, and short panoramic slope, after that returns into the forest, where we come to a smaller unmarked crossing. We continue left on a marked path (straight source of a well Starka 1 minute), which again steeply ascends, and then turns a little to the right, where after few minutes of additional walking brings us on the bottom edge of the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca. Here the path turns left and after few minutes of ascent over blooming meadows brings us to shepherd cottages on the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca.
