Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj and follow the road ahead to the border crossing. Only few meters before the border crossing signs for Zelenica point us to the left and after few 10 meters of additional driving the road brings us on a parking lot below the ski center Zelenica.
Path description:
At the end of the large macadam parking lot we will notice wooden mountain sign with the caption mountain pasture Preval, which points us in the forest on a footpath which quickly brings us to the foot of the scree. Here we come on a smaller crossing, where we will on rock notice a sign Prevala and Roblekov dom left. A gently sloping path then from scree quickly moves into a dense forest, which is exposed to falling stones. A wide path then passes out of the forest on a steep and well-secured slopes. Panoramic path, then brings us to Born's tunnel, where we will use a lamp. At the crossing through the tunnel be careful because of larger number of puddles and occasionally low ceiling. On the other side of the tunnel for some time we walk on the path which is nicely routed on the east walls of Begunjščica, and then we pass on the scree, which we only cross. Next follows a shorter crossing of steep forest slopes, and then the path starts slightly ascending on a less steep slope. Still a wide path, which is only moderately ascending, higher joins the marked path from Podljubelj. Here we continue right and we follow a wide path to the mountain pasture Preval-a, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
From Preval we continue on a slightly ascending road in the direction of the mountain hut Roblekov dom and mountain pasture Poljška planina. After approximately 15 minutes of easy walking on the macadam road we will on the right side notice a trough with water and above it signposts for Roblekov dom (over Roža). We go on this path, which ascends through a lane of a forest and after few minutes brings us on unvegetated southern slopes of Begunjščica. The path ahead is ascending diagonally towards the west, and meanwhile it crosses few steep gullies. The path on some spots is even secured with iron spikes, so that snowless it doesn't represent bigger problems. After approximately half an hour of walking from the spot, when we left the road, we get to a pleasant bench, which is situated direct by a well (source) named Roža. A moderately steep path crosses few more gullies, and then flattens and brings us in a short lane of a forest, where we join the normal path on Roblekov dom. Here we continue right and the path which is moderately ascending we follow to Roblekov dom on Begunjščica, which we reach after 10 minutes of additional walking.
The path is unmarked to the mountain pasture Preval, further it is well marked. Demanding spots are short and in the dry don't represent greater danger.
