Access to starting point:
A) Over the border crossing Ljubelj we drive to Austria, and then in the settlement Podljubelj / Unterloibl we turn right in the direction of store Hofer. When we get to Borovlje / Ferlach, at the crossroad a little behind the railway track we turn left (right from the crossroad there is store Eurospar), and at the next crossroad after few 100 meters right in the direction of Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel. Towards Železna Kapla we drive to the settlement Jeriše / Jerischach, and after the settlement at the crossroad we turn right in the direction of the settlement Podkraj / Unterort (left Goriče Goritschach). At the smaller crossroad in the middle of Podkraj we continue left and then we start ascending to a smaller saddle, by which there are a crossroad and chapel. Here we continue straight and only a little further we get to the settlement Rebrca / Rechberg, where we park on a parking lot by the football field.
B) Over the border crossing Jezerski vrh we drive to Austria, and after Železna Kapla we continue slightly left on the road in the direction of village Rebrca / Rechberg. On the road, we then quickly ascend into the mentioned village, at the crossroad in the middle of the village we continue left. We park on a parking lot by the football field.
C) We drive into Podjuna, and then we follow the signs for Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel. After the settlement Miklavčevo / Miklauzhof, we leave the road towards Železna Kapla and we continue right in the direction towards Celovec / Klagenfurt and Borovlje / Ferlach. Further, we drive on the main road towards Borovlje, and there we don't drive long, because signs for Podkraj / Unterort point us to the left on a little narrower road. At the smaller crossroad in the middle of Podkraj we continue left and then we start ascending to a smaller saddle, by which there are a crossroad and chapel. Here we continue straight and only a little further we get to the settlement Rebrca / Rechberg, where we park on a parking lot by the football field.
Path description:
At the starting point signs for Rokov vrh / Rochusberg point us on the side road, on which we quickly ascend to the church and cemetery in Rebrca. We both bypass on the left side, and after the shed we continue on a footpath which mostly continues through the forest. After few minutes mostly of a moderate ascent, the path splits and we choose the upper right path (straight Setzhube). Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent and the path flattens, when we reach the cart track, and there without large changes in altitude we continue to a crossing.
From the crossing, we go right, at first slightly downwards, and then we walk on a cart track which crosses slopes towards the right. When the cart track ends, we continue on again steeper mountain path, which a little below the summit joins also the path past the homestead Bukovnik.
Here we go right and in few steps we reach panoramic Rokov vrh.
