Tržič - Dobrča

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway we head to the Ljubelj (Tržič) exit, then before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we turn right downhill, where we quickly arrive in Tržič. At the intersection after the Mercator store we turn left in the direction of the Tržiški Museum, but we continue along Koroška cesta, which we follow through the town center to house number 48. Here at the smaller intersection we turn left onto Pot na pilarno, and the road from here starts descending towards the Mošenik stream. When we reach the stream we cross the bridge and then park in a suitable spot (because most parking spaces are reserved for residents, we may have quite a few problems finding a suitable space).

Path description:
From the spot where we crossed the bridge we continue along Tržiška Bistrica for approximately 100 m, then, when we spot on the mentioned river a smaller dam, we continue sharply left onto the ascending road, which we follow to the mountain signposts for Dobrča. We continue in the direction of Dobrča and continue the path along the road, which higher crosses the main road leading to Ljubelj over a bridge. The road continues parallel to the main road for a short time, then turns left and moderately ascends to a smaller hamlet. Just before the last house the blazes direct us slightly left onto a footpath, which soon turns right and ascends diagonally along the edge of the forest. The path then enters a dense forest, where it crosses a short steeper slope. After a short ascent we step onto a larger clearing, at the edge of which stands an isolated hut. Here we continue right and continue the ascent along a forest path, which higher crosses a forest road. The path ahead starts to ascend steeply, then temporarily flattens and brings us to a steep cart track, along which we continue the ascent. Higher, some views open up from the path towards Košuta, Storžič and Kriška gora, and we continue along the marked cart track, which soon brings us to the hunting hut, where we also step onto the road.
The marked path bypasses the hunting hut by some 10 m to the left, and we walk along the road only briefly, as the blazes then direct us slightly left onto a path that starts to ascend moderately through the forest. The path ahead ascends steeply for a short time, then flattens slightly and continues with a traversing ascent across occasionally partly panoramic slopes. Higher up the path first flattens, then descends to the nearby forest road, which we follow to the right. This is followed by a few minutes' walk along the mentioned road, then we emerge from the forest, where we step onto the expansive Bistriška planina.
On the left side of the mountain pasture we step onto a wider road, which we follow in the direction of Dobrča and Lešanska planina. The road ahead ascends moderately through the forest, then brings us to Breška planina, where a hunting hut stands.
We continue along the road, which returns to the forest, and which gradually starts to ascend more steeply. Higher we reach a marked junction, where a marked footpath from Brezje pri Tržiču joins from the left, and we continue sharply right along the gradually steeper cart track. This is followed by about 20 minutes of walking along the mentioned cart track, then the path brings us out of the forest onto the lower part of Lešanska planina. We continue upwards across the mountain pasture, where we soon reach an unmarked junction.
We continue right (left to the shepherd's hut on Lešanska planina 50 meters and the option to continue the path towards Koča na Dobrči and Dobrča) and continue the gentle ascent along the edge of the mountain pasture. After a few minutes of further walking, or more precisely a few meters past the hunting observatory, we continue left, where we steeply ascend along a clearly visible path to the upper edge of the mountain pasture, where we again step onto the cart track that we left at the hunting observatory. We follow the cart track left and ascend diagonally along it to the marked path that leads from Koča na Dobrči towards the summit of Dobrča. Here we continue sharply right and after 5 minutes of further walking we arrive at the summit.
