Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Škofja Loka, then continue to Železniki. In Železniki turn right for the route Rudno, Dražgoše and Bohinjska Bistrica. Towards Dražgoše, drive to Rudno, then turn slightly left towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue along the macadam road for some time, which climbs moderately for the first 10 km and then begins to descend towards the forestry cottage at Rovtarica, where you park at a suitable place at the junction of several roads.
b) Drive to Bohinjska Bistrica and continue to Soriška planina. After a few kilometres of climbing, we arrive at a crossroads where the road to Soriška planina turns sharp right, and we continue straight on in the direction of Železniki and Škofja Loka. The road then becomes macadam, and we follow it to the forestry hut at Rovtarica, where we park in a suitable place at the junction of several roads.
Path description:
From Rovtarica, follow the road in the direction of Vodice, the Goška Ravan Mountain Home and Selska mountain pasture. The road first climbs past a few huts, then passes into the forest, where it quickly leads to a marked crossroads. From the crossroads continue straight on in the direction of Goška Ravna (left Počitniški dom Goričane), and we follow the ascending road to the next crossroads at the NOB monument.
Here we continue straight on (left Selska planina 1 minute) and when climbing the macadam road we overlook the right fork, but when we reach the crossroads where the road branches off to the left, we turn left (straight Goška Ravan).
The road continues to climb for some time, so that occasionally we even get some views towards the Karavanke Mountains. A little higher up, you reach a small crossroads, where you continue to the right. After the crossroads, the road first lays down and then gradually starts to descend. There is a relatively long descent and then you reach a slightly larger crossroads, which is located slightly above mountain pasture Tamar (the mountain is not visible from the crossroads).
Here continue to the right (left Počitniški dom Goričane) and follow the road which continues above mountain pasture Tamar. At the next crossroads, which is only a few 100 m further on, continue slightly left (right Ribenska and Grofova planina), and we follow the road to the next marked crossroads.
From this junction, continue left in the direction of Oblakova and Povšinova mountain pasture. There is a short climb and the road leads out of the forest to Oblakova mountain pasture.
On the other side of mountain pasture the road goes into the woods and quickly leads to a small crossroads where we continue to the left. The minor road splits into two cart track just a few metres further on. Take the steep cart track on the left, which, after an initial climb, lays down and splits again. This time continue on the bottom right cart track, which leads to the edge of the pasture, where you see a sign saying beware of the bull. Cross the pasture fence here and, with good views of Julian Alps, walk quickly to the shepherds' tents in the middle of mountain pasture.
