Tržič - Šentanski vrh

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), then before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we turn right downwards, where we quickly come in Tržič. At the crossroad after the store Mercator we turn left in the direction of Tržič museum, and then we drive on the road Koroška cesta, which through the center of the town we follow to the house number 48. Here at the smaller crossroad we turn left on Pot na pilarno, the road from here ahead starts descending towards the stream Mošenik. When we come to a stream we cross the bridge and then on an appropriate place we park (because most of the parking spaces are reserved for residents, we will have quite some problems in finding appropriate space).

Path description:
From the spot, when we crossed the bridge we continue by Tržiška Bistrica for approximately 100 meters, after we notice on the mentioned river a smaller dam we continue sharply left on an ascending road which we follow to mountain signposts for Dobrča. We continue in the direction of Dobrča and we continue on the road which higher over a bridge crosses main road which runs on Ljubelj. The road for a short time continues parallel with the main road, and then turns to the left and moderately ascends to a smaller hamlet. Just before the last house blazes point us slightly to the left on a footpath, and it soon turns right and it ascends diagonally by the edge of the forest. After that, the path passes into a dense forest, where crosses a short steeper slope. After a short ascent, we step on a larger clearing, by the edge of which stands a lonely cottage. Here we go right and we continue the ascent on a forest path, which higher crosses a forest road. The path ahead starts ascending steeply, after that for some time flattens and brings us on a steep cart track, on which we continue an ascent. Higher from the path, a view opens up a little on Košuta, Storžič and Kriška gora, and we still continue on a marked cart track which soon brings us to the hunting cottage, where we also step on the road.
The marked path hunting cottage bypasses few 10 meters towards the left, and we walk on the road only a short time because then blazes point us slightly left on the path which starts moderately ascending through the forest. The path ahead for a short time steeply ascends, and then it slightly flattens and continues in a diagonal ascent over occasionally partly panoramic slopes. Higher, the path at first flattens, after that descends to the nearby forest road which we follow to the right. Next follows few minutes walk on the mentioned road, and then we come out of the forest, where we step on an ample mountain pasture Bistriška planina.
On the left side of the mountain pasture we step on a wider road, and we follow it in the direction of Dobrča and mountain pasture Lešanska planina. The road ahead moderately ascends through the forest and then it brings us on the mountain pasture Breška planina, where there stands a hunting cottage.
We continue on the road which returns into the forest, and it gradually starts ascending steeper. Higher, we come at the marked crossing, where from the left joins a marked footpath from Brezje pri Tržiču, and we continue sharply right on a gradually more and more steep cart track. Next follows approximately 20 minutes of walking on the mentioned cart track, and then the path brings us out of the forest on the bottom part of the mountain pasture Lešanska planina. We continue on the mountain pasture upwards, where we quickly get to an unmarked crossing.
We continue right (left shepherd hut on Lešanska planina 50 meters and option to continue towards the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči and Dobrča) and we continue gently sloping ascent by the edge of the mountain pasture. After few minutes of additional walking, or more precisely few meters behind hunting observatory we continue left, where on a well visible path we are steeply ascending on the upper edge of the mountain pasture, where we again step on a cart track which we left at at the hunting observatory. We follow the cart track to the left and we are diagonally ascend to a marked path which leads from the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči towards the summit Dobrča. Here we continue sharply right and after 5 minutes of additional walking, we get to the top.
From Dobrča we continue in the direction of Šentanski vrh on the path which at first descends into a smaller valley between the both peaks, and then it moderately ascends and after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us on Šentanski vrh.
