Zgornja Dobrava - Ojstra peč

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Podbrezje (to here from the Gorenjska highway exit Naklo or Tržič), then we follow the signs for Kropa. In the settlement Lipnica we don't drive to Kropa, but continue driving right towards Kamna Gorica. A little further we leave the main road and continue driving right towards Zgornja Dobrava. After approximately 500 meters of ascent we arrive at Zgornja Dobrava, but we drive a few hundred meters further to the intersection on a smaller saddle, where the road to Srednja Dobrava branches off to the right. The described footpath starts at the mentioned intersection, but there are no designated parking spaces. We can park lower along the road, or higher on the section of the described path.
B) We leave the Gorenjska highway at the Radovljica exit, then we drive to Mošnje and further towards the settlement Globoko, where we also cross the Sava River. When we arrive at the settlement Mišače we continue straight towards Zgornja Dobrava; in Zgornja Dobrava we arrive at the intersection where the road to Srednja Dobrava branches off to the left. The described footpath starts at the mentioned intersection, but there are no designated parking spaces. We can park lower along the road, or higher on the section of the described path.

Route description:
From the intersection we take the road that continues towards the northwest (the opposite road from the one leading to Srednja Dobrava); it first leads us past a hayrack with nice views of Jamnik. When the asphalt ends we notice the signs for Ojstra peč, which direct us onto a forest road, from which we soon, at an unmarked intersection, turn right onto a wide cart track that is initially still drivable. Soon the path from Mišače joins the cart track from the right, and we continue straight along the gradually narrowing cart track, which proceeds with some short ascents and descents. After less than 20 minutes of walking we arrive at the next marked junction, where we continue right towards Ojstra peč (left Zjavka 10 minutes), which we reach after one more minute of walking.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2017 (March).

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Šobčev bajer (2 h 5 min), Zjavka, Castle Lipniški grad (Pusti grad above Lipnica) ( 45 min)
