Hudi Graben - Šentanski vrh (via Lešanska planina)

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 descending, and at the first crossroad we continue left (direction Begunje) into 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 a suitable place by 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 which marks the beginning of the settlement, we park at a suitable place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue some 10 steps towards Begunje, then signposts for Dobrča point us right onto a steep cart track which leads to the nearby house. At the house, the cart track turns left, and from the cart track we go a little higher once again left onto a somewhat overgrown footpath. On the footpath we ascend to a smaller saddle, where on the left we notice a smaller house, and we step onto the cart track, on which we start ascending. When we walk on the cart track we follow the blazes, when the marked path from the cart track turns left into the forest, we leave the blazes and continue on the cart track. The cart track soon splits, and we choose the right one, on which we step out of the forest onto an already somewhat overgrown clearing. Next follow a few forks, and we follow the wider cart track. The cart track then ascends diagonally towards the right, and when it turns left, we leave it and continue straight on a beaten footpath. Further, we ascend on the footpath which soon crosses a torrent ditch, 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 take-off site, where we reach the marked path from Brezje pri Tržiču.
From the take-off site, where Poldetova klopca is located and from where a beautiful view opens, 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 on a poor road, after a minute or two we arrive at a marked junction, where from the right also joins the path past Bistriška planina.
We continue slightly left and continue the ascent on a steep cart track which ascends diagonally towards the right. During the ascent a nice view opens towards the east briefly, then the path returns into the forest for a short time. Follows crossing a grazing fence, and then we reach the lower edge of Lešanska planina.
At the junction in the middle of the mountain pasture, where a shepherd hut also stands, which is open during the grazing season, we continue right (left Koča na Dobrči) and for a short time continue on a gentle cart track, from it we go slightly left soon, onto a steep footpath which across the mountain pasture ascends back onto the cart track (cart track makes a longer loop). Follows a shorter diagonal ascent towards the left and with increasingly beautiful views we join the usual marked path which leads to Dobrča (on the part from the shepherd hut to the mentioned junction there are no blazes).
Here we continue sharply right and in approximately 5 minutes of ascent we reach the summit of Dobrča.
From Dobrča we continue in the direction towards Šentanski vrh, we first descend into a smaller valley between both peaks, then follows a short moderate ascent to panoramic Šentanski vrh.
Hudi Graben - Dobrča take-off site 1:25, Dobrča take-off site - Lešanska planina 40 minutes, Lešanska planina - Dobrča 30 minutes, Dobrča - Šentanski vrh 5 minutes.
