Ravne - Kleiner Frauenkogel/Koprivnjak

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska highway 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 junction, where we continue on the right road (sharply left to 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 to Plavški Rovt). We follow this road, which then leads past grassy meadows named Ravne (a few holiday cottages), to a gate that prohibits further driving. We can park already a little lower on one of the parking areas by the road (from Dovje to the starting point it is approximately 6.5 km).

Route description:
From the parking lot we continue on the road along which we parked. The road, which moderately ascends and leads us past the gate, then higher flattens out and brings us to a smaller saddle between Bela peč on the left and Dovška Baba on the right. We continue the ascent on the road, which after a few steps of further walking brings us to the spot where we leave it, as the blazes direct us left onto a steep footpath that continues ascending through the forest. The path higher crosses a pasture fence and a short panoramic slope, then returns to the forest, where we reach a smaller unmarked junction. We continue left on the marked path (straight to the spring of the Starka well, 1 minute), which steeply ascends again, then turns slightly to the right, and after a few minutes of further walking brings 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 shepherd's hut we continue right (not on the road) on a traversing footpath that gently ascends towards the east. The path soon crosses a short strip of forest, then continues in a gentle ascent towards the saddle between Dovška Baba and Hruški vrh. This part of the path is in some places, due to crossing occasionally steep slopes, dangerous for slipping (especially when wet).
When we step onto the border ridge we continue sharply left (straight to Hruški vrh, 10 minutes) and ascend along it for approximately 3 minutes. After the mentioned time, a nice passage will open on the right side towards the summit, which we see on the Austrian side. From the border ridge we then slightly descend to one of several traversing paths, along which we then in a few minutes of easy walking ascend to Koprivnjak.
Orientation from the border ridge to Koprivnjak is easy in nice weather, very difficult in fog.
