Above Mojstrana, on the left bank of the Sava Dolinka River, there is an idyllic, sunny village of Dovje. From there, you can start a wonderful cycling tour towards the steep slopes of the Karavanke Mountains, as far as to the Dovška Rožca pasture.
Follow the cycling track from Kranjska Gora towards Mojstrana. Ascend over the highway and arrive in Dovje. Follow a nice forest road which ascends gently at the beginning. After a sharp turning to the left at the crossroads, the road gradually becomes steeper. The slope gets even steeper after another turning to the right. Moreover, a sandy and slippery ground does not make your cycling easier. Due to cycling through woods, there are not many panoramic views offered. However, being completely focused on the climb up, you will not even miss the views. Anyway, you are awarded when reaching the Dovška Rožca pasture where there is a mountain hut as well. The last 100 meters of the ascent should be mentioned extremely difficult – you can walk on foot to make your tour easier if you want.
At the hut, you regain the strength for the descent, admiring the unique panorama of the Julian Alps on the other side, as well as the mighty Mežakla plateau and the Karavanke Mountains. If you need more of the challenge, take the path on foot to Dovška Baba which is 200 meters higher. From there, the view is even more spectacular – to the north towards Austria and even further.
Descend by taking the same track back, and watch out for some steep, sandy and slippery sections.
