Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki. In Železniki we turn right in the direction of Rudno, Dražgoše and Bohinjska Bistrica. Towards Dražgoše we drive to the settlement Rudno, there we continue slightly left in the direction of Bohinjska Bistrica. Further, for quite some time, we drive on a macadam road which is for first 10 km moderately ascending, and then it starts descending towards forestry cottage on Rovtarica, where we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad of multiple roads.
B) We drive to Bohinjska Bistrica and we continue driving towards Soriška planina. After few kilometers of ascent we get to a crossroad, where the road towards Soriška planina branches off sharply to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of Železniki and Škofja Loka. Further, the road becomes a macadam, and we follow it to the forestry cottage on Rovtarica, where we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad of multiple roads.
Path description:
From Rovtarica we go on the road in the direction of Vodice, mountain hut Goška Ravan, Martinček and Selska planina. The road at first ascends past few cottages, and then passes into the forest, where quickly brings us to the marked crossroad. From the crossroad, we continue straight in the direction of Goška Ravan (left Počitniški dom Goričane), we follow the ascending road to the next crossroad at the monument NOB.
Here we continue straight (left Selska planina 1 minute) and during the ascent on the macadam road "we ignore" right turn-off of the road (mentioned road leads towards Lipniška planina), a little higher, on the part where the road flattens also the left turn off (left road leads towards Oblakova planina and mountain pasture Tamar).
We continue on the right wider road which continues mainly through a dense forest, we only occasionally cross some shorter clearing. At few smaller crossroads, we continue on the "main road", and we walk there to a marked crossroad, where signs for Martinček and Lipniška planina point us to the right (straight Partizanski dom na Vodiški planini). Next follows few minutes of walking and the road brings us to the first of three cottages on Martinček, second and the third are situated only a little further.
