Path description:
From the starting point, we continue in the direction of Kepa and Dovška Baba on an ascending road which leads us through Dovje. After a short ascent, we get to a crossroads at the chapel, where from the left joins the path from the parish church in Dovje. At the mentioned crossroads, we continue right, and after a few meters at the next crossroads left in the direction of house numbers 43-50 and 75-105. We continue on a narrower asphalt road which ascends among houses, and at the next crossroads, we continue slightly right in the direction of numbers 49, 78-81A 83-90A, 92, 96-97. A little further, where a road branches off to the right towards the house numbers 88 and 89A, we continue straight and continue on the road which after the village loses its asphalt surface. At the end of the village a nice view opens up on Dovje and Jerebikovec, and the road then passes into the forest through which it ascends diagonally. Further, we also cross Sedučnikov potok, and then on an asphalt road, we ascend to the farm Sedučnik. Next follows some walking on an asphalt road past a cross and hayrack to the residential house and farm outbuilding, where the path leads right by the house. Behind the yard we cross the fence and the path which further runs on a cart track and passes into the forest. At the first junction above the farm we go right, and then we continue diagonally towards the right. Higher, the path leads past a pleasant spring (source of the stream Sedučnik). Above the stream we stick to the right directions, and then we soon step onto a macadam road, which we reach right on a bend. We follow the road to the left about 100 meters, and then a wide cart track branches off to the right, which leads towards Rovt Vrse.
We continue on the mentioned cart track, on which we quickly get to the cottages on the mentioned Rovt Vrse.
Here we continue straight, so on the left side of both cottages, where above the meadow we notice a slightly less trodden footpath which higher becomes a cart track, which ascends through initially sparse forest. The cart track soon ends, and we continue the ascent first along the torrent gully, higher the footpath enters the gully, which is no longer so distinct. Up the mentioned gully we ascend to the saddle between Planica on the left and Borovje on the right in a few minutes.
When we reach the saddle named Šija 1, we continue sharply left upwards (left Kepa over Kurjeke, straight downwards leads very demanding pathless terrain towards Erjavčev rovtu, right Borovje) on the path which starts ascending on a side ridge. For a short time, we ascend on the mentioned ridge, then the path turns a little to the left and brings us to the main ridge of Planica. Here we continue left and continue the ascent on and along the ridge, from which at first views open up only rarely towards Kepa and surrounding peaks. A little higher, the path flattens and passes to the left side of the ridge, where it occasionally crosses some panoramic slopes. Higher, the path returns to the ridge, which narrows and becomes partly exposed. After passing the exposed ridge the path temporarily returns into the forest, then in a gentle descent crosses another slightly exposed gully. A short steep ascent follows and an increasingly panoramic path brings us to the top of Planica.
