Hudi Graben - Dobrča

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway, at the Podtabor junction we continue in the direction of Ljubelj and Tržič. We continue driving on the fast road towards Ljubelj, then just before the gas station we turn right in the direction of Tržič and Begunje. The road then starts to descend, and at the first crossroad we continue left (direction Begunje) through the underpass, through which we arrive in Bistrica pri Tržiču. A little further, a sign for Begunje directs us right onto a narrower and ascending road, which we then follow through Brezje pri Tržiču to the village Hudi Graben, where at the end of the village we park at an appropriate place by the hiking signposts.
B) We drive to Begunje na Gorenjskem, then follow the signs for Tržič. When we arrive at the settlement Hudi Graben, a little further from the road sign that marks the beginning of the settlement, we park at an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point we continue about 10 steps towards Begunje, then the hiking signposts for Dobrča direct us right onto a steep cart track leading to the nearby house. At the house the cart track turns left, and from the cart track we go a little higher again left onto a somewhat overgrown transitional path. We ascend along the path to a smaller saddle, where on the left we notice a smaller house, but we step onto the cart track along which we begin to ascend. When walking on the cart track we follow the blazes, but when the marked path turns left from the cart track into the forest, we leave the blazes and continue straight on the cart track. The cart track soon forks, and we choose the right one, along which we exit the forest onto an already somewhat overgrown clearing. There follow a few more junctions, and we follow the wider cart track. The cart track then ascends transversely to the right, but when it turns left we leave it and continue straight on the beaten path. We continue ascending along the path, which soon crosses a torrent gully, then mostly through the forest. The path, which during and after rain is more like a stream, higher turns left and ascends to the Dobrča take-off site, where we reach the marked path from Brezje pri Tržiču.
We continue left upwards towards Dobrča (slightly right Lešanska planina, right Brezje pri Tržiču). From the take-off site, where there is the Polde Bibič bench and from where a nice view opens onto Gorenjska, the path returns to the forest and begins to ascend steeply. For quite some time we ascend steeply, then we cross a grazing fence, a little higher also a cart track. A little above the cart track we arrive at the marked junction on Stinah, where we continue straight upwards (left Koča na Dobrči, right Lešanska planina), thus bypassing the nearby cottage on the left side. For a few minutes we still ascend steeply, then the path gradually levels out and occasionally some views open up. There follow a few more junctions where we follow the blazes, then the path temporarily descends and we arrive at the next marked junction, where we go right (left Koča na Dobrči).
There follows fairly level walking, a little further the path via Lešanska planina joins from the right.
We continue towards Dobrča on a again steeper path, along which in about 5 minutes of further walking we reach the summit of Dobrča, from which a beautiful view opens in the direction of the Julian Alps.
Hudi Graben - Dobrča take-off site 1:25, Dobrča take-off site - Dobrča 1:05.
