Path description:
From the starting point, we continue right on a side road which is closed for public traffic. We soon get to a smaller crossroad, where we continue straight (left road ends on slopes of the mountain pasture Tomanova planina), and then the path brings us by the upper edge of the nearby pasture, from where a beautiful view opens up towards hills above the valley Tuhinjska dolina. Behind the pasture, we continue on the left upper road, and then at the smaller crossroad straight. A little further, the forest ends and we get to the upper edge of larger panoramic meadow, where a wider cart track branches off to the left, on which we can get to the saddle between Podbevška peč and the peak Seduc (in descriptions path past the peak Seduc), and we continue on the road which offers nice views. Further path returns into the forest and continues to gently to occasionally moderately ascending, and when starts considerably descending, we quickly get to a marked crossing on Ovčje jame, where we join the marked path.
We follow the marked path left in the direction of Prevala, where we walk on a cart track which soon splits. We continue on the left cart track, by which a little higher we notice the blazes, and higher from there a view opens up towards Podbevška peč, and a little further also on Ojstri vrh. On this panoramic part, the path for some time flattens, after that returns into the forest, where we follow the blazes. At first poorly visible footpath soon widens, and then it is ascending diagonally towards the left, where higher leads on a steeper slope. When after few minutes, the path flattens, in front of us we already see the grazing fence, which we cross, and then we are already on Prevala, where on the left by cross we notice an inscription box.
From Prevala we continue towards the north and we start descending over panoramic slopes of the upper part of the mountain pasture Planina Ravni. After a short descent, we step on a wider cart track, we follow it to the right and after few 10 strides of additional walking, we get to the shepherd hut on the mentioned mountain pasture.
From the mountain pasture Planina Ravni we continue in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Menini planini and mountain pasture Planina Travnik. The path ahead slightly ascends and quickly passes into the forest, through which then for some time continues. A little further, we join a wide cart track, on which we soon come out of the forest. When we come out of the forest, we step on the western part of the mountain pasture Travnik, over which we then walk to the shepherd hut on the other side of the mountain pasture. To there leads us poorly visible footpath which crosses the mountain pasture.
From the cottage, we continue past nearby cross and bell, behind which marked path turns to the right. Next follows a pleasant walk on the path which is at first gentlly and then moderately ascending over an ample pastures. Higher, the path goes into the forest, where gradually starts descending. The path soon again starts ascending and it brings us to a macadam road which we follow to the right. Few minutes we walk on the mentioned road, and then blazes point us to the right on a footpath which moderately ascends through a dense forest. Higher, we once again cross the road and the path gradually brings us on pastures of Menina planina. With some shorter ascents and descents we continue on a pleasant path, which after a little longer descent joins also the path from Gornji Grad (path past Jespa).
We continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Menini planini, on the path which crosses a lane of a forest and then it brings us to the parking lot near already mentioned mountain hut. From the parking lot, we continue through a meadow and the path, from which a nice view opens up on chain of Kamnik Savinja Alps, quickly brings us to the mountain hut Dom na Menini planini.
