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

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska highway at the Podtabor junction, and then continue driving in the direction of Ljubelj and Tržič. Before the Petrol gas station we turn right in the direction of Bistrica pri Tržiču, and after the Tržič police station, we turn left in the direction of Begunje na Gorenjskem. We continue through the underpass below the main road, and from the nearby roundabout we continue "straight", and then we follow the signs for Begunje na Gorenjskem. The road then starts ascending, and we follow it to the settlement Brezje pri Tržiču, where signs for Dobrča point us to the right onto a side road. After approximately 100 meters we arrive at a marked parking lot, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue left along the edge (right path over Bistriška planina), where at first we still walk on the road, and from it after the water storage we go right onto a marked path in the direction of Dobrča. The path ahead first ascends moderately, higher steeply, mostly through the forest. When the path flattens, a short path branches off to the right to the viewpoint, and we continue left, where the path leads us along an indistinct ridge. Higher up, we walk for a short time on a cart track, then on a relatively steep mountain path that flattens on Breška gora, where we also step out of the forest onto the Dobrča take-off site.
From the take-off site, where Poldetova klopca bench is located and from where a beautiful view opens up, we continue right in the direction of Lešanska planina (straight to Dobrča and Koča na Dobrči). The path ahead first leads along a poor road, after a minute or two we arrive at a marked junction, where the path past Bistriška planina also joins from the right.
We continue slightly left and continue the ascent on a steep cart track that ascends diagonally to the right. During the ascent a nice view towards the east opens up temporarily, then the path returns to the forest for a short time. This is followed by crossing a pasture fence, after which we reach the lower edge of Lešanska planina.
At the junction in the middle of the planina, where a shepherd's hut also stands, which is open during the grazing season, we continue right (left to Koča na Dobrči) and continue for a short time on a gentle cart track, from which we soon go slightly left onto a steep path that ascends back onto the cart track across the planina (the cart track makes a longer loop). This is followed by a shorter diagonal ascent to the left and amid ever better views we join the usual marked path leading to Dobrča (on the section from the shepherd's hut to the mentioned junction there are no markings).
Here we continue sharply right and in about 5 minutes of ascent we reach the summit of Dobrča.
From Dobrča we continue towards Šentanski vrh, where we first descend into a small valley between the two peaks, then a short moderate ascent follows to the panoramic Šentanski vrh.
