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 near 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 junction, where we continue on the right road (sharp left Kepa and Borovje). Further we drive for quite some time to the next junction, where we turn sharply left in the direction of Dovška Baba (straight Plavški Rovt). We follow this road which then leads past grassy meadows named Ravne (a few holiday cottages) to a barrier that prohibits further driving. We can park already somewhat lower on one of the parking areas by the road (from Dovje to the starting point is approximately 6.5 km).
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road alongside which we parked. The road, which moderately ascends and leads us past the barrier, then flattens higher up and brings us to a smaller saddle between Bela peč on the left and Dovška Baba on the right. The road here turns right and after a few additional steps brings us to the spot where a marked footpath branches off uphill to the left.
We continue on the road, which in a moderate ascent crosses the slopes towards the east. After approximately an hour of walking from the starting point, the road makes a sharp left turn and after a further 15 minutes of walking ascends to the hut on the alpine pasture Dovška Rožca.
From the alpine pasture we continue straight upwards towards the northeast on a well-visible but poorly marked path which starts to ascend the increasingly panoramic slope of Dovška Baba. The pleasant path, which ascends along the edge of a panoramic side ridge, flattens higher up and turns slightly to the right, where we step onto the main ridge of the Karawanks. Here in front of us we notice the not very compact summit of Dovška Baba, which we reach after less than 5 minutes of additional walking.
Starting point - Planina Dovška Rožca 1:15, Planina Dovška Rožca - Dovška Baba 35 minutes.

Today Iztok, Janez and I went by road to Dovška Baba on skis. Conditions on the path are fine, some pedestrian tracks are visible. On the road itself two spruces are down, but that doesn't pose any obstacle. Conditions at the top very nice, sunny and slightly windy weather. Skiing down the ridge towards Planina Rožca and in the lower part of the road very nice, a bit harder in the middle section. LP Andrej

Hi.
On Sunday, 31.7.2011, I was on Dovška Baba for the first time. We left the car in front of the barrier, where only the hut keeper or the owner of the livestock grazing on Planina Dovška Rožca in this summer time can continue by car We took the macadam road, which was really great to walk on. During the trail, we could admire the surrounding hills with Triglav in the lead, the view is truly priceless
From the Planina, we need another half hour to the summit, which borders Austria and from which you can really nicely see Lake Bled and the Drava River. And you won't believe it, on Lake Bled, sailboats were still visible 
The summit was completely unknown to me until now, but I was quite enthusiastic about it. Among hikers, Dovška Baba is probably not very well known, as I met about 15 people on the way (up and down). Really, bliss
In short, it was great.
Greetings, Katy
