Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at the junction Podtabor, and then we continue driving towards the border crossing Ljubelj. Further, we drive past the turn-off for Bistrica pri Tržiču, and higher also past the turn-off for Podljubelj. A little after the road sign 4.5 km, after the underpass we turn right and then once again right in Podljubelj. We park on an appropriate place at the sign, which marks the beginning of Podljubelj.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on overpass over the main road, and after the overpass road turns left and lightly descends past the nearby house. A little further, by the next crossroad, we notice the first signposts for Preval, Begunjščica and Dobrča, which point us on an ascending macadam road which leads us past few more houses, and then passes into the forest. A little higher road turns left and over a bridge crosses the stream Potočnikov graben. Further, we are for quite some time ascending on the road which is closed for public traffic, and there with occasional views on surrounding mountains, we continue to the spot where blazes from the road point us to the left in the forest. Through the forest for few minutes we ascend steeper, and then we return on the road which we follow to the nearby right turn. After a turn we again continue left on a footpath, and there we once again return on the road. This time as well on the road we don't continue long, and signs for Preval, Begunjščica and Roblekov dom, point us slightly right on a relatively steep cart track. On the cart track with occasional views we ascend to the spot, where we join the path Bornova pot, and from the crossing we continue left and then past a grazing fence, in few minutes we ascend to the mountain pasture Preval-a, where on the left, a little higher, we notice mountain dairy, from which a beautiful view opens up, which reaches all the way to Triglav.
We go slightly right and we continue on the macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Roblekov dom over Roža, mountain pasture Poljška planina and mountain pasture Planinca. We ascend on the road for approximately 100 more altitude meters, after that from the road to the right marked path over Roža branches off, which leads to the mountain hut Roblekov dom, and we still continue on the road which a little further starts descending. Next follows relatively long descent, on a bad road, from which occasionally a view opens up on slopes of Begunjščica, and occasionally also a view opens up a little on the other side.
When we reach a wider road the descent ends, and we continue right and in few steps we walk to shepherd cottages on the mountain pasture Planinca.
Behind the cottage road goes into the forest and is then gently to moderately ascending. After a good 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the cottage Tomčeva koča on Poljška planina.
Lajb - Preval-a 1:30, Preval-a - Planina Planinca 1:00, Planina Planinca - Poljška planina 15 minutes.
