Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Hrušica and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora, but only to the village Dovje at Mojstrana. Here we turn right (direction Dovje) and the road quickly brings us in the mentioned village from where we continue in the direction of Dovška Baba. The road soon behind the village brings us to a crossroad, where we continue on the right road (sharply left Kepa and Borovje). Further, we drive for quite some time to the next crossroad, where we turn sharply left in the direction of Dovška Baba (straight Plavški Rovt). This road which then leads past a grassy meadow named Ravne (few holiday cottages) we follow to a gate, that prohibits further driving. We can park already little lower on one of the parking lots by the road (from Dovje to the starting point, there is approximately 6.5 km).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road by which we've parked. The road which is moderately ascending and leads us past a gate higher flattens and brings us on a smaller saddle between Bela peč on the left and Dovška Baba on the right. We continue the ascent on the road which already after few steps of additional walking brings us to the spot, where we leave it, because blazes point us to the left on a steep footpath which is further ascending through the forest. The path higher crosses a grazing fence, and short panoramic slope, after that returns into the forest, where we come to a smaller unmarked crossing. We continue left on a marked path (straight source of a well Starka 1 minute), which again steeply ascends, and then turns a little to the right, where after few minutes of additional walking brings us on the bottom edge of the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca. Here the path turns left and after few minutes of ascent over blooming meadows brings us to shepherd cottages on the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca.
From the mountain pasture, we continue straight upwards towards the northeast on a well visible, but poorly marked path which starts ascending on the more and more panoramic slope of Dovška Baba. A pleasant path, which is ascending by the edge of panoramic side ridge higher flattens and turns slightly to the right, where we step on the main ridge of Karawanks. Here in front of us, we notice not very compact peak Dovška Baba, which we reach after less than 5 minutes of additional walking.
The starting point - Planina Dovška Rožca 1:10, Planina Dovška Rožca - Dovška Baba 35 minutes.
