Rebrca / Rechberg - Rokov vrh / Rochusberg (via Bukovnik)

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. We park on an appropriate place behind the chapel.
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. The road on which we continue leads us towards the settlement Podkraj / Unterort, and then still before the road starts descending towards the mentioned settlement, we get to the chapel, in front of which we park on an appropriate place by the road.
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. We park on an appropriate place behind the chapel.

Path description:
From the crossroad at the chapel, we go on the road in the direction of the settlement Suha / Zauchen, or house numbers 16,17,18, 50, 54, 63 and 69, and by the crossroad there are also signs for Obir. The road at first leads through the forest and then it brings us out of the forest, and we follow the road practically to its end at homestead Bukovnik / Bukownik. Behind the last house, we continue over a grazing fence, and then the cart track brings us into the forest. Through the forest, we are ascending on a cart track (cart track has higher few poorly marked shortcuts), and we walk there to the saddle between Rokov vrh / Rochus Berg on the left and Stara gora / Altberg on the right.
From the saddle, where there is an older chapel we continue left (straight Setzhube, right Obir and Stara gora) in the direction of Rokov vrh / Rochusberg. The path ahead at first continues on a bad road, and when the road ends we continue on a forest path, which crosses quite steep slopes. After few minutes of crossing, we get to a small saddle, after which we start steeply ascending on and by the forested ridge, where on some spots we get help from a wooden fence. Higher, the path flattens and we join the forest road, on which in few steps we get to a smaller crossroad. We continue right (left downwards Rebrca, turn-off of the road to the left on the picture number 5), after that immediately left on the mountain path which continues parallel with the road. A little further, we return on the road, on a smaller saddle we leave it and we continue on the mountain path, which few steps ahead joins also the second, shorter path from Rebrca.
We continue straight and in few steps we ascend on panoramic Rokov vrh.
