Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, at the junction Podtabor we continue in the direction of Ljubelj and Tržič. We continue driving on the road towards Ljubelj, and then just before the gas station, we turn right in the direction of Tržič and Begunje. The road then starts descending, and at the first crossroad, we continue left (direction Begunje) in underpass, through which we come in Bistrica pri Tržiču. A little further a sign for Begunje points us right on a narrower and ascending road which we then follow through the village Brezje and Hudi Graben. After Hudi Graben, only few 100 meters after the crossroad, where the road in the village Leše and Paloviče branches off to the left, we will on the right side notice a macadam road and next to it signposts for Dobrča. We go on the mentioned macadam road (turn from the main road is sharply to the right) and then already after few meters, we park on a parking lot by the road.
Possible is also access from Begunje.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road which soon makes first left turn, and then passes on panoramic grassy slopes, from which a nice view opens up on Julian Alps. The road soon returns into the forest and brings us on a smaller unmarked crossroad. We continue right and follow the road ahead to the next sharp left turn. In the middle of the mentioned turn cart track branches off to the right by which on a smaller tree we notice a blaze. We continue the ascent on the mentioned cart track which gradually starts ascending steeper and steeper. Considerably rough cart track, by which there are blazes quite rare, higher joins a better beaten path, which comes from the village Hudi Graben.
We continue left on a relatively steep path which still runs through the forest. Higher, we step on a bad forest road, on which in few 10 strides we walk to a wider macadam road. The mentioned road, we only cross, because blazes point us to footpath which higher few more times crosses the mentioned road. The mentioned footpath which is occasionally ascending quite steep, we then follow all the way to the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči.
Near the mountain hut Koča na Dobrči signs for the peak Dobrča point us on the forest road, on which we start slightly descending towards the north. After a short descent, we notice signposts, which point us to the right on the mountain pasture Podgorska planina, which cottages we bypass on the right side. Next, we ascend on a panoramic grassy slope, and then the path passes into at first thin, and higher more and more dense forest. When the steepness decreases from the right join two paths, and we in both cases continue straight. The path ahead again steeply ascends and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit of Dobrča.
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.
