Dovje - Frauenkogel/Dovška Baba

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway 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 crossroad, where we continue on the right road (sharply left Kepa and Borovje). We follow this road for a good 100 meters, after which we cross the bridge over the stream Mlinca, after which on the left side we notice mountain signposts for Dovška Baba. We park on one of the parking lots by the road.

Route description:
The signposts for Dovška Baba point us to the left on a footpath which starts ascending through the forest. After a few minutes of ascent we step out of the forest onto a somewhat larger clearing, where we also step onto a cart track. We continue the ascent on the cart track which past a smaller cottage brings us to the spot where they are building a new house (holiday cottage).
Here the cart track ends, and we continue behind the house on an initially somewhat poorly visible footpath. The path quickly passes into a dense forest, where with the exception of some smaller panoramic clearings it continues all the way to the abandoned mountain pasture Goreljše.
Here the path turns left, ascends past the cottage and after a short ascent brings us to a cart track which in a moderate ascent we follow towards the east. After a few minutes of panoramic walk across the mountain pasture, the path brings us to the next decaying cottage, behind which we continue left and after a few additional steps we step onto the forest road.
We only cross the mentioned road and continue the ascent on the marked path which returns into the forest. We continue the ascent through pleasant forest which ends on the screes of Bela peč. Over scenic landscape we ascend in a gentle ascent, then the path passes into the forest where it continues all the way to the forest road.
We continue the ascent on the road which after a few steps brings us to the spot where we leave it, as the blazes direct us left onto a steep footpath which further ascends through the forest. Higher the path crosses a grazing fence and a short panoramic slope, then returns into the forest where we reach a smaller unmarked junction. We continue left on the marked path (straight to the spring Studenček Starka 1 minute) which steeply ascends again, then turns slightly to the right, after a few minutes of further walking bringing us to the lower edge of the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca. Here the path turns left and after a few minutes of ascent over blooming meadows brings us to the shepherd's hut on the mountain pasture Dovška Rožca.
From the mountain pasture we continue straight upwards towards the northeast on a well-visible but poorly marked path which starts ascending on the increasingly panoramic slope of Dovška Baba. A pleasant path which ascends along the edge of a panoramic side ridge higher flattens and turns slightly to the right, where we step onto the main ridge of the Karavanks. Here ahead of us we spot the not very compact summit of Dovška Baba which we reach after less than 5 minutes of further walking.
