Podljubelj (Lajb) - Tomčeva koča na Poljški planini

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska Motorway at the Podtabor junction and continue to Border crossing Ljubelj. Continue past the Bistrica pri Tržiču turnoff, and higher up, past the turnoff for Podljubelj. Just after the 4. 5 km marker, turn right after the underpass and then right again into Podljubelj. Park in a suitable place by the sign marking the start of Podljubelj.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue on the overpass over the main road, and after the overpass, the road turns left and descends gently past a nearby house. A little further on, at the next crossroads, we see the first mountain signs for Preval, Begunjščica and Dobrča, which direct us to the ascending macadam road, which leads us past a few more houses, and then passes into the forest. A little higher up, the road turns left and crosses Potočnikov graben via a bridge. The road is closed to public traffic, but we continue along it, with occasional views of the surrounding mountains, to a point where the road markings direct us left into the forest. We climb steeply through the forest for a few minutes, then return to the road, which we follow to a nearby right-hand bend. After the bend, turn left again onto the footpath and follow it back to the road. Again, we do not continue on the road for long, but the signs for Preval, Begunjščica and Roblek's home point us slightly right on the relatively steep cart track. After cart track, with occasional views, we climb up to the place where we join the Borna trail, and from the crossroads we continue to the left and then, passing a pasture fence, in a few minutes we climb up to mountain pasture of Preval, where on the left, slightly higher, we see a pastoral farm, from which we get a beautiful view that reaches all the way to the Triglav Mountains.
Continue slightly to the right and follow the macadam road in the direction of Roblek's home across the Roža, Poljška mountain pasture and mountain pasture Planinca. The road ascends for about 100 vertical metres, and then the marked path over the Rožo River branches off from the road to the right, leading to Roblek's home, and we continue along the road, which begins to descend a little further. There follows a relatively long descent, along a worse road, from which we occasionally get some views of the slopes of Begunjščica, and occasionally we also get some views of the other side.
When we reach the wider road, the descent ends, and we continue to the right and walk a few steps to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Planinca. After the cottage, the road goes into the forest and then climbs gently to moderately. After a good 10 minutes of further walking, you will reach Tomč's hut at Poljška mountain pasture.
Lajb - Preval-a 1:30, Preval-a - mountain pasture Planinca 1:00, mountain pasture Planinca - Poljška mountain pasture 15 minutes.
