Brinje - Borovje (ridge path)

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Jesenice - west exit (Hrušica) and continue driving towards Kranjska Gora. After approximately 5 km of driving from the place where we left the motorway, signs for Dovje direct us to the right. We drive into the mentioned settlement, through which we follow the signs for Kepa and Dovška Baba. Soon above Dovje the asphalt ends, and the road only about 100 m further brings us to the marked intersection, where signs for Kepa direct us sharply to the left (straight Dovška Baba). We drive ahead for quite some time, thereby "overlooking" all smaller intersections. Higher up, we arrive at a somewhat larger intersection, where a road branches off to the left towards Rovt Vrse, and straight ahead the road continues towards Erjavčev Rovt (signs by the road for Kepa). We park on the parking lot by the mentioned intersection, or we can continue driving on the left road for some time.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the left road, which first ascends moderately, then flattens entirely and crosses the slopes towards the left. The road, from which occasionally nice views open up on the Julian Alps, after approximately 15 to 20 minutes brings us to the spot where on the right side we will notice a smaller cairn, from which a footpath branches off that leads to Borovje.
Here we continue right on the mentioned footpath (possible also straight over Rovt Vrse); it first ascends steeply, then passes into fern, where it slowly starts to disappear, higher up joining a forest track which we follow to the right. When the slope flattens, we turn slightly to the left and ascend to the nearby well (trough with water), above which we quickly arrive at a smaller, initially still indistinct ridge (to here possible also over Rovt Vrse).
When we step on the ridge the footpath becomes more visible and gradually steeper. The path ahead continues along the occasionally slightly exposed ridge (mainly in wet conditions and snow greater caution is needed), from which beautiful views open up here and there. The path ahead leads us past a bench, then signs for Borovje (on a sign to the cross) direct us left onto the slope over which we start to ascend steeply. The fairly steep path, running through the forest, gradually flattens higher up and turns slightly to the right. Here the path from the saddle between Planica and Borovje joins from the left, we continue right and for some time cross towards the right. After a shorter traverse we step out of the forest into more rocky terrain, over which via a slightly exposed slope we ascend to the cross on Borovje.

Trip can be extended to: Planica (1 h)
