Forestry cottage Rovtarica - Babji zob (via Žontarica)

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Škofja Loka, then continue to Železniki. In Železniki turn right for the route Rudno, Dražgoše and Bohinjska Bistrica. Towards Dražgoše, drive to Rudno, then turn slightly left towards Bohinjska Bistrica. Continue along the macadam road for some time, which climbs moderately for the first 10 km and then begins to descend towards the forestry cottage at Rovtarica, where you park at a suitable place at the junction of several roads.
b) Drive to Bohinjska Bistrica and continue to Soriška planina. After a few kilometres of climbing, we arrive at a crossroads where the road to Soriška planina turns sharp right and we continue straight on towards Železniki and Škofja Loka. The road then becomes macadam, and we follow it to the forestry hut at Rovtarica, where we park in a suitable place at the junction of several roads.

Path description:
From Rovtarica, follow the road in the direction of Vodice, the Goška Ravan Mountain Home and Selska mountain pasture. The road first climbs past a few huts, then passes into the forest, where it quickly leads to a marked crossroads. From the crossroads continue straight on in the direction of Goška Ravna (left Počitniški dom Goričane), and we follow the ascending road to the next crossroads at the NOB monument.
Here we continue straight on (left Selska planina 1 minute) and when climbing the macadam road we overlook the right fork, but when we reach the crossroads where the road branches off to the left, we turn left (straight Goška Ravan).
The road continues to climb for some time, so that occasionally even some views of the Karavanke Mountains open up. A little higher up, you reach a small crossroads, where you continue to the right. After the crossroads, the road first lays down and then gradually starts to descend. There is a relatively long descent and then you reach a slightly larger crossroads, which is located slightly above mountain pasture Tamar (the mountain is not visible from the crossroads).
Here continue to the right (left Počitniški dom Goričane) and follow the road which continues above mountain pasture Tamar. At the next crossroads, which is only a few 100 m further on, continue slightly left (right Ribenska and Grofova planina), and we follow the road to the next marked crossroads. At this junction, the road to Oblakova planina and mountain pasture Tamar (also Povšinova planina) branches off to the left, and we continue slightly to the right and follow the road to the next junction, at which we see a small sign.
Here we continue left down to a narrower road, which quickly descends to Ravni, where there is a weekend house. After the house the road goes into the woods and gradually turns into cart track. After a short cross-climb, the already quite bad cart track splits into several parts, and we continue along the one to which the arrows on the trees direct us. After a short descent, cart track finally turns into a well-tracked forest path, which quickly leads us to the edge of Jelovice. Climb moderately along the precipitous and occasionally scenic edge for a while, and then arrive at the "top" of Babji zob, from where there is only a short descent to the lookout pier and the registration box at Babje zobu.
