Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we drive on the highway towards Beljak, which we leave on the first exit. From the point, when we left the highway, we follow the signs for Šentjakob v Rožu / Sankt Jakob im Rosental. When we get to the mentioned settlement we leave the main road and we continue driving right in the direction of the settlement Podrožca / Rosenbach. After few kilometers of additional driving, we get near the railway station in Podrožca, where we continue left downwards, and then at the next crossroad right in the direction of valley Medji Dol / Bärental. Further, we drive on a little narrower asphalt road which we follow to the first crossroad, by which we notice hiking signposts. We park at an appropriate place by the road.
From toll station in Hrušica to the starting point, there is approximately 23 km.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on the left road following the signs Rožca / Rosenbachsattel (straight Kepa / Mittagskogel). The road at first crosses a bridge through stream Gračenica / Schönbrunnen, and then starts at first gently, and later moderately ascending through the forest. Further, we are for quite some time ascending on the forest road, and then we get to a marked crossroad at an altitude 900 meters.
Here a road towards Golica / Kahlkogel branches off to the left, and we continue slightly right in the direction of Rožca. From the crossing ahead the road for some time descends to the nearby stream, which then also crosses. On the other side of the stream, we again start ascending, and marked path splits into two parts. We can continue further on the road, or left on a marked footpath which starts ascending steeper and continues through the forest. The path higher returns on the road and at the sharp right turn again leaves it. We continue through the forest, on occasionally steeper and in the upper part also more overgrown slope. Higher, we join the cart track and we follow it to the left. From the cart track, we soon go left on the path towards Rožca, and to the right continues the path on Koprivnjak.
The path ahead crosses a torrent, and then we are few more minutes ascending through the forest. A little further, the path turns right and brings us out of the forest, where we quickly reach the mountain pasture Rožca, where on the right side we notice bigger shepherd hut.
A little before the hut yellow signposts point us to the left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Golici, saddle Rožca and Hruški vrh. The path ahead at first leads diagonally over mountain pasture, and then starts at first gently, and then moderately ascending, and in doing so, we follow the blazes, because footpath on the mountain pasture is occasionally hard to follow. When we get by the edge of the mountain pasture path turns a little to the right and becomes clearly visible. Further in some rare zig-zags we start ascending towards the national border with Slovenia. Higher with increasingly beautiful views we reach the border ridge, from where a nice view opens up also on the Slovenian mountains.
From the saddle, we continue right in the direction of Hruški vrh (left Klek, slightly left Koča na Golici, straight downwards cottage on Rožca) and we continue on at first gentle ridge. Already after few minutes, the path becomes a little steeper and with nice views leads mainly on the Slovenian side of the border. Higher, the path flattens, and to Hruški vrh separates us only a little of walking on the border ridge.
From Hruški vrh, on which there is situated chapel of St. Izidor we start descending on a ridge and when the descent ends, from the left joins the marked path, which bypasses Hruški vrh, and few steps ahead from the right also joins marked Austrian path which leads over the peak Koprivnjak. On marked path we walk only few steps, and then we continue slightly right, on an unmarked path which continues on a ridge (path, which avoids the ridge slightly to the left leads towards the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca).
Further, we are mainly moderately ascending on a relatively wide and on some parts with dwarf pines covered ridge. Higher, when we get closer to Baba (1849 meters) - Baba is eastern secondary peak of Dovška Baba, the path avoids the ridge a little to the left, where crosses shorter steeper and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slope. When the crossing ends, the path returns on the ridge and there in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the summit of Dovška Baba.
Podrožca - Planina Rožca 2:45, Planina Rožca - Rožca 35 minutes, Rožca - Hruški vrh 30 minutes, Hruški vrh - Dovška Baba 50 minutes.
