Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce and we follow the road in the direction of Jesenice, where signs for Planina pod Golico point us on an ascending road (third traffic light crossroad from the center or the railway station). Steep road brings us to a crossroad, where we turn left over a bridge towards Plavški Rovt. When we get into a village, we follow the road further to a spot, where the asphalt ends. After the village, the road descends a little, we run into its right turn off, but we drive further in the direction of straight. When we get to a smaller hamlet, at the crossroad we notice a wooden signpost "Dovje 9 km". Here we turn sharply left and we continue on a winding forest road additional 3 km, whereupon we get to a larger meadow with holiday cottages on the left. Right, on a larger right turn we notice a cart track which runs through a meadow, uphill towards the north. We park on an appropriate place nearby.
Path description:
We start on the mentioned cart track similar to a road (almost unfit for driving with a personal car), uphill towards the north. It quickly brings us into the forest, where it starts quite steeply ascending. When a path turns a little to the right and splits, we continue on the right increasingly steep uphill. The path is getting more and more appearance of a settled forest road. After a few hairpin turns, the steepness gradually starts decreasing, eventually when on the right opens a view towards the saddle Rožca and Klek, the road finally flattens. After a short time the path again ascends a little, and we soon run into a fence with a gate. We enter on the mountain pasture, where immediately when we notice Hruški Vrh, we step from the path to the left uphill on a pasture, and we continue in the direction of north towards a bigger spruce with some sort of (small) bench.
From here further, in the same direction we look for a path upwards towards the forest, in doing so we stick to the right edge of at first indistinct forest ridge. Here the path uphill occasionally vanishes, but it isn't hard to find, because it all the time runs on the mentioned ridge (right pasture). When we come out of the forest, we continue upwards through a small valley between Hruški vrh and the ridge of Črničje (on maps without a name) on the left, and in the vicinity of the summit path turns left towards the fence. The latter we cross and we continue on a poorly visible path to the right, steeply uphill (straight path towards the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca). Next follows about 15 min. of steep ascent on a grassy terrain (on the descent in wet dangerous for slipping) by the fence, whereupon, when the steepness decreases and we cross a mountain path (Via Alpina), we get to "Izidor's chapel" on the top, from where we continue few more meters to the right towards the bench with a stamp and an inscription book.
