Hudi Graben - Dobrča (via Lešanska planina)

Access to starting point:
A) 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 Brezje pri Tržiču to the village Hudi Graben, where at the end of the village, we park on an appropriate place by hiking signposts.
B) We drive to Begunje na Gorenjskem, we then follow the signs for Tržič. When we get to the settlement Hudi Graben, only a little further from the road sign, which marks the beginning of the settlement, we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue few 10 strides towards Begunje, after that signposts for Dobrča point us to the right, on a steep cart track which leads to near house. At the house, the cart track turns left, and from the cart track we go little higher once again left, on for some time a little overgrown footpath. On the footpath we ascend to a smaller saddle, where on the left we notice a smaller house, and we step on a cart track, on which we start ascending. When we walk on a cart track we follow the blazes, when a marked path from a cart track turns left in the forest, we leave blazes and we still continue on a cart track. Cart track soon splits, and we choose right, and there we step out of the forest on already a little overgrown clearing. Next follow few crossings, and we follow a wider cart track. Cart track is then ascending diagonally towards the right, and when it turns left, we leave it and we continue straight on a beaten footpath. Further, we are ascending on a footpath which soon crosses a torrent ditch, and then we are ascending mostly through the forest. The footpath which is during and after the rain more like a stream, higher turns left and it ascends to Paragliding site Dobrča, where we reach a marked path from Brezje pri Tržiču.
From the airfield, where there is a bench Poldetova klopca and from where a beautiful view opens up, we continue slightly right in the direction of Lešanska planina (left Dobrča and Koča na Dobrči, right Brezje pri Tržiču). The path ahead at first leads on a bad road, and after a minute or two we get to a marked crossing, where from the right joins also the path past Bistriška planina.
We continue slightly left and we continue the ascent on a steep cart track which is ascending diagonally towards the right. During the ascent for some time a nice view opens up towards the east, and then the path for a short time returns into the forest. Next follows a crossing of grazing fence, and then we already reach the bottom edge of the mountain pasture Lešanska planina.
At the crossing in the middle of the mountain pasture, where also stands a shepherd hut, which is open in the time of grazing season, we continue right (left Koča na Dobrči) and we short time continue on a gentle cart track, and from there we soon go slightly left, on a steep footpath which through mountain pasture ascends back on a cart track (cart track makes longer turn). Next follows a shorter diagonal ascent towards the left and with increasingly beautiful views we join the normal marked path which leads on Dobrča (on part from the shepherd hut to the mentioned crossing there aren't any blazes).
Here we continue sharply right and in approximately 5 minutes of ascent we reach the peak of Dobrča.
