Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Podtabor junction, then continue driving towards the Ljubelj border crossing. Further on, we drive past the turn-off for Bistrica pri Tržiču, and higher up also past the turn-off for Podljubelj. A little after the 4.5 km road sign, after the underpass we turn right and then once again right into Podljubelj. We park at a suitable spot by the sign which marks the beginning of Podljubelj.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue over the overpass across the main road; after the overpass, the road turns left and gently descends past the nearby house. A little further, at the next intersection, we notice the first mountain signposts for Preval, Begunjščica and Dobrča, which direct us onto an ascending macadam road that leads us past a few more houses, then transitions into the forest. A little higher, the road turns left and crosses Potočnikov graben over a bridge. We then ascend along the road, closed to public traffic, for quite some time, following it with occasional views of the surrounding mountains until the point where the markers direct us left from the road into the forest. Through the forest, we ascend more steeply for a few minutes, then return to the road, which we follow to the nearby right-hand bend. After the bend, we continue left onto the footpath, along which we once again return to the road. This time too, we do not continue far along the road, as the signs for Preval, Begunjščica and Roblekov dom direct us slightly right onto a relatively steep cart track. Along the cart track, with occasional views, we ascend to the point where we join Bornova pot; from the junction, we continue left, then past a pasture fence, ascending in a few minutes to the Preval mountain pasture, where on the left, slightly higher, we notice the mountain dairy from which a beautiful view opens up all the way to Triglav.
We continue slightly right along the macadam road in the direction of Roblekov dom via Roža, Poljska planina and Planina Planinca. We ascend another approximately 100 metres of elevation along the road, after which a marked path via Roža branches right from the road towards Roblekov dom; we, however, continue along the road, which soon begins to descend. A relatively long descent follows along a poor road, from which we occasionally get views of the slopes of Begunjščica and occasionally also of the other side.
When we reach the wider road, the descent ends, and we continue right, walking a few steps to the shepherd's hut on Planina Planinca.
Lajb - Preval-a 1:30, Preval-a - Planina Planinca 1:00.
