Access to starting point:
From Gorenjska highway we go to the exit Jesenice - west and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. And we will soon notice signs for Dovje, which point us to the right on an ascending road, on which we quickly ascend to the upper part of the village. Through the village we follow the road in the direction of Kepa and Dovška Baba, and then we come on a little bigger crossroad, where we continue sharply left in the direction of Kepa. Further, we drive for quite some time on a nicely maintained forest road, and then we come to the next crossroad. We continue slightly right (left Brinje, Rovt Vrse and Požarnica) on the road which a little further flattens and then starts descending towards confluence of the rivers Žaklja and Mlinca (by the confluence of the rivers is situated also a smaller artificial lake). We park on an appropriate place by the confluence of the rivers, or we can also park a little back on one of the appropriate places by the road.
Path description:
From confluence of the rivers we go towards the left stream (Žakelj) and we immediately cross it. A wide path continues on the right side of the stream and we follow it only few meters and then caption "Kepa" on grazing fence points us right on an ascending footpath, on which in few minutes we get above cottage in Erjevčev rovt.
We continue on a marked path, and it passes into the forest and starts ascending steeply. Higher, the path turns a little to the right and brings us on a relatively gently sloping cart track, on which we continue an ascent. The path then quickly brings us to a trough with water, behind it turns to the left and it brings us out of the forest on the mountain pasture Brvog, over which we quickly ascend to the near hunting cottage.
From the mountain hut, we go right and we continue the ascent on a marked path, which passes into the forest. The path ahead quickly brings us on an indistinct partly grassy ridge, but it soon avoids it to the right, on little steeper slopes. A pleasant footpath higher entirely flattens, and then on the more and more panoramic slopes brings us to a smaller slide deposit, over which leads a marked path. With some caution we cross the mentioned slope, and then still relatively gently sloping path brings us to a well Koritec, by which there is a marked crossing.
At the crossing, we continue left and then we in a gentle ascent cross the slopes covered with dwarf pines. Further, we then few times ascend a little steeper, and increasingly beautiful views start opening up on Julian Alps. We still in an ascent cross the steep slopes towards the west, and then we soon reach the ridge, where a view opens up on the Austrian side. We short time still continue on a relatively narrow ridge and then the path turns left and in ascent crosses steep grassy slopes below Gubno. The path brings us to an indistinct ridge on the south side of the peak, where a view opens up towards Kepa. If we want to visit also peak Gubno then on this spot we leave the marked path and go right on pathless terrain and in few minutes we reach the peak. The marked path still crosses steep slopes and it brings us on the western side of Gubno.
Further, the path becomes demanding and then follows a crossing of an exposed gully, and we also get help from fixed safety gear.
The path then on the ridge brings us below the slopes of Dovška Mala Kepa. We can reach the peak on undemanding pathless terrain in 10 minutes. And marked path bypasses the peak on the south side and after a crossing of very steep and crumbly slopes brings us to the saddle between Kepa and Dovška Mala Kepa.
From the saddle, we continue towards the west and we cross steep slopes on the Austrian side of the ridge to a small saddle, where joins the path from Austria. Further path steeply ascends and it still runs by the ridge. At the end follows an undemanding ascent on panoramic grassy slopes all the way to the top of Kepa.
On the way: Lovska koča na Brvogih (1425m)
