Ravne - Rosenbachsattel/Rožca (direct way)

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska highway at the Hrušica exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora, but only to the village of Dovje at Mojstrana. Here we turn right (direction Dovje) and the road quickly brings us to the mentioned village, from where we continue in the direction of Dovška Baba. The road soon after the village brings us to a crossroads, where we continue on the right road (sharp left to Kepa and Borovje). We drive further for quite some time to the next crossroads, where we turn sharply left in the direction of Dovška Baba (straight to Plavški Rovt). We follow this road, which then leads past grassy meadows named Ravne (a few holiday cottages), to a gate that prohibits further driving. We can park already a little lower on one of the parking areas by the road (from Dovje to the starting point it is approximately 6.5 km).

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road along which we parked. The road, which moderately ascends and leads us past the gate, then higher flattens and brings us to a smaller saddle between Bela peč on the left and Dovška Baba on the right. The road here turns right and after a few more steps brings us to the spot where a marked footpath branches off to the left upward.

We continue on the road, which in a moderate ascent crosses the slopes toward the east. After approximately an hour of walking from the starting point, the road makes a sharp left turn. In the middle of this turn, we will notice at first a poorly visible path that first steeply ascends, then turns right and crosses the slopes of the Karavanks toward the east. An occasionally quite scenic path that occasionally slightly ascends and then descends again crosses a larger number of torrent gullies (some of them are a little harder to pass). But because the path also runs on steep grassy slopes, when wet there is also a great risk of slipping. The path ahead reaches the slopes of Hruški vrh, where we will notice Hruška planina right below us on the right. The path, which further ascends somewhat more visibly, brings us to the hunting cottage on Rožca, where we also step onto the marked path.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Klek, Rosenkogel/Hruški vrh, Frauenkogel/Dovška Baba

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
