Hudi Graben - Lešanska planina

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, 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 crossroads we continue left (direction Begunje) through the underpass, through which we arrive in Bistrica pri Tržiču. A little further the sign for Begunje directs us right onto a narrower and ascending road, which we then follow through Brezje pri Tržiču to the village of Hudi Graben, where at the end of the village we park at a suitable spot next to the hiking signposts.
B) We drive to Begunje na Gorenjskem, then we follow the signs for Tržič. When we arrive at the settlement Hudi Graben, a little further from the road sign that marks the start of the settlement, we park at a suitable spot by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point we continue some 10 steps towards Begunje, then the hiking signposts for Dobrča direct us right onto a steep cart track that leads to the nearby house. At the house the cart track turns left, from the cart track we go a little higher again left onto a somewhat overgrown footpath. Along the footpath we ascend to a smaller saddle, where on the left we notice a smaller house, and we step onto the cart track along which we begin to ascend. When walking along 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 further along the cart track. The cart track soon forks, we choose the right one, along it we step out of the forest onto an already somewhat overgrown clearing. There follow a few forks, we follow the wider cart track. The cart track then ascends transversely towards the right, when it turns left we leave it and continue straight along the beaten footpath. Further we ascend along the footpath, which soon crosses a torrent gully, then we ascend mostly through the forest. The footpath, which during and after rain is more like a stream, higher turns left and ascends to the Dobrča takeoff site, where we reach the marked path from Brezje pri Tržiču.
From the takeoff site, where the Poldetova klopca bench is located and from where a beautiful view opens up, we continue slightly right in the direction of Lešanska planina (left Dobrča and Koča na Dobrči, right Brezje pri Tržiču). The path ahead first leads along a poor road, after a minute or two we arrive at a marked junction, where from the right the path past Bistriška planina also joins.
We continue slightly left and continue the ascent along a steep cart track that ascends transversely towards 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. There follows crossing a pasture fence, after which we already reach the lower edge of Lešanska planina. There follows a short ascent and we reach the shepherd hut on Lešanska planina.
