Ljubelj - Roblekov dom na Begunjščici (via Preval)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway we go to the Ljubelj exit and follow the road ahead to the border crossing. Just a few meters before the border crossing signs for Zelenica point us to the left and after some 10 meters of additional driving the road brings us to the parking lot below the ski center Zelenica.

Route description:
At the end of the large macadam parking lot we will notice a wooden mountain sign with the caption mountain pasture Preval, which points us into the forest on a footpath which quickly brings us to the foot of the scree. Here we come to a smaller crossing, where we will notice on the rock a sign Prevala and Roblekov dom left. A gently sloping path then from the scree quickly moves into a dense forest, which is exposed to falling stones. A wide path then passes out of the forest onto steep and well-secured slopes. The panoramic path then brings us to Born's tunnel, where a lamp will be helpful. When crossing through the tunnel be careful because of the larger number of puddles and the occasionally low ceiling. On the other side of the tunnel we walk for some time on the path which is nicely routed along the east walls of Begunjščica, then we pass onto the scree, which we only cross. Next follows a shorter crossing of steep forest slopes, then the path starts to ascend slightly on a less steep slope. Still a wide path, which only ascends moderately, joins higher up the marked path from Podljubelj. Here we continue right and follow the wide path to the mountain pasture Preval-a, which we reach after a few minutes of additional walking.
From Preval we continue on a slightly ascending road in the direction of the mountain hut Roblekov dom and mountain pasture Poljška planina. After approximately 15 minutes of easy walking on the macadam road we will notice on the right side a trough with water and above it signposts for Roblekov dom (over Roža). We go onto this path, which ascends through a belt of forest and after a few minutes brings us onto the unvegetated southern slopes of Begunjščica. The path ahead ascends transversely towards the west, meanwhile crossing a few steep gullies. The path is even secured with pegs at some places, so that in dry conditions it does not present greater difficulties. After approximately half an hour of walking from the spot when we left the road, we come to a pleasant bench, which is located directly beside the spring named Roža. A moderately steep path crosses a few more gullies, then levels out and brings us into a short belt of forest, where we join the usual path to Roblekov dom. Here we continue right and follow the path, which ascends moderately, to Roblekov dom on Begunjščica, which we reach after 10 minutes of additional walking.
The path is unmarked to the mountain pasture Preval, further it is well marked. Demanding spots are short and in the dry do not represent greater danger.
Ljubelj - Preval 1:30, Preval - Roblekov dom 1:30.
