Access to starting point:
From Gorenjska highway we go to the exit Jesenice - west and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. And we will soon notice signs for Dovje, which point us to the right on an ascending road, on which we quickly ascend to the upper part of the village. Through the village we follow the road in the direction of Kepa and Dovška Baba, and then we come on a little bigger crossroad, where we continue sharply left in the direction of Kepa. Further, we drive for quite some time on a nicely maintained forest road, and then we come to the next crossroad. We continue slightly right (left Brinje, Rovt Vrse and Požarnica) on the road which a little further flattens and then starts descending towards confluence of the rivers Žaklja and Mlinca (by the confluence of the rivers is situated also a smaller artificial lake). We park on an appropriate place by the confluence of the rivers, or we can also park a little back on one of the appropriate places by the road.
Path description:
From confluence of the rivers we at first cross the stream Žakelj (not in the direction of Kepa), and then we continue by right stream Mlinca. The path ahead short time still runs on a macadam road, and then we come to a crossroad, where we continue on abandoned right road (left road leads to the hut on Erjavčev rovt). Right abandoned road then leads us over landslide slope, and then passes into the forest and higher finally ends by the nearby stream. We continue on a riverbed path, and after approximately 10 - 15 minutes of additional walking, on the left side we notice few smaller cairns, which point us on at first quite overgrown and muddy footpath. Already after a short ascent, we step into a dense forest, where we continue on a poorly visible, but easy to follow footpath. The path ahead gradually starts ascending steeply, then higher brings us to the spot, where we cross a short very steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slope. The path then flattens and starts turning more and more to the right, where we cross the slopes towards the right. The mentioned footpath we follow all the way to the spot, where it brings us by the edge of the macadam road.
We continue to the road and we follow it to the right and there we quickly get to the saddle between Bela peč and Dovška Baba, where at the notification sign "Kako varno prečiti pašnike" (How to safely cross the pastures), we continue left on a marked path which leads towards Dovje. The marked path, which turns left and continues parallel with the road we already after few steps leave and we continue straight on an unmarked footpath which starts ascending towards Bela peč. Occasionally a pretty steep path, where mainly in wet there is needed additional caution, higher brings us on or by the ridge, where the footpath flattens a little, and to the top separates us only few minutes of walking.
