Dovje - Erjavčev rovt (Planina Mlinca) (by road)

Access to starting point:
A) We leave the Gorenjska highway at the Jesenice - West (Hrušica) exit, then continue driving towards Kranjska Gora. Soon we arrive at a crossroad, where signs for Dovje direct us right onto the road along which we reach the village Dovje, where from the left also join the road from the monument to Jakob Aljaž and the nearby parish church. At the mentioned crossroad we continue right and drive past a few more houses. Above the village the road becomes macadam and brings us to a crossroad, where left continues the road towards Kepa, right towards Dovška Baba. We park at an appropriate place by the crossroad, or also lower or higher by the road. An arranged parking lot is located by the monument to Jakob Aljaž in Dovje or at the church in Dovje. If we park at the monument or church, the path extends by 10 to 15 minutes.
B) First we drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving towards Jesenice. After the settlement Belca we arrive at the hamlet Na Belah (part of Dovje), where we leave the main road and continue driving towards the nearby church. From the church we continue driving through the village and follow the signs for Dovška Baba. Above the village the road becomes macadam and brings us to a crossroad, where left continues the road towards Kepa, right towards Dovška Baba. We park at an appropriate place by the crossroad, or also lower or higher by the road. An arranged parking lot is located by the monument to Jakob Aljaž in Dovje or at the church in Dovje. If we park at the monument or church, the path extends by 10 to 15 minutes.

Path description:
From the crossroad we continue on the left road in the direction of Kepa (right Dovška Baba), which continues moderately ascending. After a few minutes a walking path from Dovje joins from the left, we continue slightly right and ascend further along a panoramic road from which a nice view opens onto Mojstrana and the peaks of the Julian Alps. We continue along the road, which mainly enters the forest through which it ascends in a few hairpin turns. Higher a marked footpath branches off from the road, which crosses the road a few times, we however walk along the road to a somewhat larger crossroad, beside which there is a small parking lot and signs for Dovška Baba and Kepa.
At the mentioned crossroad we continue right (left Planica, Borovje...) and ascend lightly for a few more minutes, then when the road passes above the bed of the stream Mlinca it flattens and gradually begins to descend. During the descent the path leads us past a pleasant spring, then we arrive at the confluence of Žakelj and Mlinca.
We continue along the left stream Žakelj, where a marked path to Dovška Baba and Kepa also runs. The marked path soon leaves the riverbed and turns sharply right and ascends transversely across a fairly steep slope. When the marked path from the slope passes onto some kind of ridge and turns sharply left, we continue only slightly left onto a cart track, along which in a minute or two of further walking we arrive at Erjavčev rovt, in the middle of which stands a wooden cottage.
