Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road in the direction of Jesenice (left marked path to Dovška Baba). On the road, we first ascend transversely, during the ascent occasionally a nice view opens up on the Julian Alps. Higher, the road first turns sharply left and then right. At the right bend, we leave it and continue straight on a cart track which ascends transversely towards the left, before we reach a small saddle we go from it right onto a beaten footpath, which then bypasses a small, partly wooden house on the left side. The path continues through the forest, where we pass a feeding site for wild animals, after crossing a stream we go slightly left. Further on, the path temporarily flattens, then we ascend through an indistinct little valley to a small saddle, where there is a junction of unmarked footpaths.
To the left along the ridge continues a path which higher brings us to the road leading to the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca, straight down we descend along the eastern path to the road, to the right continues the path leading to Blažčeva skala.
We continue right and quickly ascend to the registration box, bench and cross on Blažčeva skala.
