Brezje pri Tržiču - Dobrča (on path Po robu and via Lešanska planina)

Access to starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Ljubelj and follow the road ahead in the direction of Tržič. Just before the petrol station at Tržič, we turn right (direction Tržič) and then immediately left (direction Begunje) and continue driving to the village Brezje pri Tržiču, where we park on the parking lot near the church.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road towards Begunje, but only to the spot where it starts descending. Here a road branches off to the right which leads to Bistriška planina (by the crossroad there are also signposts for Dobrča), we walk there only for a few minutes, and then at the crossroad we go left in the direction of Dobrča (right road leads to Bistriška planina).
From the crossroad ahead we continue on a somewhat worse road, on which we walk approximately 1 minute, then the blazes lead us to the right on a footpath which continues along the fence. For some time we moderately ascend along the fence, then after approximately 20 minutes of walking from the starting point we arrive at a wide but steep cart track. On the cart track we ascend to a somewhat sparser forest, where the blazes direct us sharply right upwards. Further we steeply ascend through the forest and after 15 minutes of additional walking we arrive at an abandoned trough for animals. Here the path turns to the left and gently ascends below the indistinct peak Vaško. A little further we arrive at a smaller saddle between the already mentioned peak on the right and the slopes of Dobrča on the left.
Next follows a short ascent and the path brings us to the spot where we cross the nearby forest road (we cross the road right on the spot where it ends). Further we ascend for some time on a wide and forested ridge, on which we walk all the way to the paragliding take-off point, which is located on the southern slopes of Dobrča.
Here we continue right in the direction of Lešanska and Bistriška planina (straight Koča na Dobrči and Dobrča - direct path) and continue on a worse road which a little further brings us to the next junction. This time we continue slightly left (slightly right Bistriška planina) and start to ascend more steeply on a wide cart track. Because the cart track further has some junctions we carefully follow the blazes not to stray from the right path. After approximately half an hour's ascent from the paragliding take-off point we step out of the forest onto the vast Lešanska planina, in the middle of which we arrive at an unmarked junction.
We continue right (left shepherd hut on Lešanska planina 50 meters and option to continue the path towards Koča na Dobrči and Dobrča) and continue a gentle ascent along the edge of the planina. After a few minutes of additional walking, or more precisely a few meters behind the hunting observation post, we continue left, where on a well-visible path we steeply ascend to the upper edge of the planina, where we again step on the cart track which we left at the hunting observation post. We follow the cart track to the left and transversely ascend on it to the marked path which leads from Koča na Dobrči towards the summit Dobrča. Here we continue sharply right and after 5 minutes of additional walking we arrive at the summit.
