From Ljubljana, follow the motorway towards Gorenjska. Leave the motorway at the exit for Brezje, and immediately afterwards turn left at the fork. Go through Črnivec and turn right at the first traffic lights towards Begunje in Gorenjska. Continue along the main road to Zapuže, where you turn right at the crossroads (keep following the signs for Begunje). From here, continue through Begunje until you reach Gostišče Draga, where the asphalt road is replaced by a macadam road. Follow the dirt road towards Poljška planina, which you will recognise by the large Tomec's hut. Park here.

Continue on foot along the path on the other side of the hut; just after the small trestle, which has a sign with the name of the mountain attached to it, signposts direct you along the right-hand, widest road into the forest. Cross the stile and head into the forest on a steeply ascending road which turns several times during the ascent. Along the way, we are constantly accompanied by firewood, which invites hikers to take it to Roblek's home, which is located on the path. Almost at Roblek's home, we reach a crossroads where we keep to the left path, which leads us to Roblek in about 10 minutes. Continue past the Dom na Robleku on a narrow path which immediately starts to climb steeply past the heath. Soon we will be treated to magnificent views that will accompany us to the top. The steeply ascending path lays down at the top of the ridge and leads us around an intermediate peak to the Big Peak on Begunjščićica, with a steep climb just before the summit.
