Hibje - Dobrča (by road)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, at the junction Podtabor we continue in the direction of Ljubelj and Tržič. We continue driving on the road towards Ljubelj, and then just before the gas station, we turn right in the direction of Tržič and Begunje. The road then starts descending, and at the first crossroad, we continue left (direction Begunje) in underpass, through which we come in Bistrica pri Tržiču. A little further a sign for Begunje points us right on a narrower and ascending road which we then follow through the village Brezje and Hudi Graben. After Hudi Graben, only few 100 meters after the crossroad, where the road in the village Leše and Paloviče branches off to the left, we will on the right side notice a macadam road and next to it signposts for Dobrča. We go on the mentioned macadam road (turn from the main road is sharply to the right) and then we follow it to altitude approx. 1000 meters, where at the smaller crossroad we notice hiking signposts and below them parking lot.
Possible is also access from Begunje.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the left upper and wider road (right rough road quickly ends), which soon makes a left turn, after that is for quite some time ascending diagonally towards the west. Higher, the road makes a sharp right turn and gradually passes into a dense forest. Further, the road makes few hairpin turns, and then it brings us to a gate (to here it is possible also with a car, but road on certain places is pretty steep and rough. We continue past a gate and we still continue on the road, and it quickly brings us on the ridge of Dobrča. Here the road turns to the right and gradually passes on the north slopes. The road, from which a view opens up a little on the main chain of Karawanks, soon brings us on the mountain pasture Podgorska planina. Here we continue right and after few minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči.
From the mountain hut, we return to the bottom part of Podgorska planina (2 minutes), and then we continue in the direction of Dobrča. Cottages on Podgorska planina we bypass on the right side, and then we ascend on a panoramic grassy slope and we continue the ascent on the path which soon passes to at first thin, and higher more and more dense forest. When the steepness decreases from the right join two paths, and we in both cases continue straight. The path ahead again steeply ascends and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit of Dobrča.
