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. The road here turns right and after few additional strides, it brings us to the spot, where a marked footpath branches off to the left upwards.
We go on this path, which ascends steeply and through the forest and past a well Starka (1 minute of walking from the path) brings us below the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca. Here the path turns slightly to the left and after additional few 10 strides it brings us to the cottage on a mountain pasture Dovška Rožca (to here possible also on the road).
From the cottage, we continue towards the north in the direction of Dovška Baba (left Kepa) on a path which starts moderately ascending on a grassy slope of the mountain. The increasingly panoramic path higher brings us on the ridge, where it turns right and then steeply ascends. Relatively easy path then quickly brings us on a panoramic peak.
From Dovška Baba we continue right towards the west on an unmarked path which leads us on at first slightly exposed ridge. The path is then descending and soon brings us on the saddle between Dovška Baba and Hruški vrh. We continue on the ridge and we soon join a marked path, which bypasses the peak of Dovška Baba.
We continue on a marked path forward towards the east, but only a short time. When the marked path turns right, we stay on the ridge and we continue the ascent on an unmarked path, which in few minutes of additional walking brings us on Hruški vrh.
The starting point - Dovška Baba 1:45, Dovška Baba - Hruški vrh 40 minutes.
