Kraljev dol - Ojstrica (via Kocbekov dom)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving towards Stahovica and mountain pass Črnivec. Few 100 meters before the mountain pass Črnivec we leave the main road which leads towards Gornji Grad and we continue driving sharply left in the direction of the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak). From the mentioned mountain pass we continue straight (left road which leads on Velika planina, right Štajerski Rak) and start descending towards Luče. Lower the road flattens a little and brings us into a valley Podvolovljek. Further at first we drive past the turn-off of the road which leads into a valley Lučka Bela, after that also past Bar pri Gamsu. After the bar, we need to pay attention, because only few 100 meters further road which leads towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off to the left (by the spot, where we leave the main road, there is a road sign approximately 11 km). Further, we drive on at first still asphalt road which is then ascending towards the plateau Dleskovška planota. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road, and a little further it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podveža). After 9 km of driving from the main road (of this 8 km of the macadam) we will get to the sharp right turn in the middle of which a road branches off to the left, which is already at the very beginning closed with a grazing fence. We go on the mentioned road which we then follow to a turning point by the end of the road. We park on an appropriate place by the end of the road.
B) First, we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. When by the road we notice a sign road which shows 10.5 km, we need to pay attention to the right turn off, because only a little further to the right a road towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off. Further, we drive on at first still asphalt road which is then ascending towards the plateau Dleskovška planota. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road, and a little further it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podveža). After 9 km of driving from the main road (of this 8 km of the macadam) we will get to the sharp right turn in the middle of which a road branches off to the left, which is already at the very beginning closed with a grazing fence. We go on the mentioned road which we then follow to a turning point by the end of the road. We park on an appropriate place by the end of the road.

Path description:
From the end of the road, we cross the fence and then immediately after it we continue right next to it steeply upwards. The path soon goes into the forest, where it is for some time steeply ascending, and then it gradually flattens. Next follows few minutes walk through a thinner forest and a relatively gently sloping path quickly brings us to decaying shepherd cottage on the mountain pasture Vodole.
From decaying shepherd hut we continue on the bottom of the mountain pasture, on the path which leads us past a smaller swamp. On the other side of the mountain pasture the path starts slightly ascending and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a boulder, on which we notice already quite faded signs for Korošica, which point us slightly right, on the path which goes into the forest and gradually starts ascending steeper. Considerably overgrown path which runs through dwarf pines, higher joins a much wider path, which comes from the mountain pasture Podvežak.
We continue in the direction of Korošica, on the path which crosses a grazing fence and after few additional strides, it brings us to a well Inkretov studenec, which is situated just few meters from the path.
Follows only a light ascent, and then the path again flattens and brings us below relatively steep and in snow for an avalanche dangerous slopes Tolsti vrh. A little further pleasant path brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Korošica (slightly right chapel on Molička peč (mountain pasture)). The path ahead for some time crosses slopes below Tolsti vrh, and then it passes on a plateau terrain of Dleskovška planota, which is crisscrossed with numerous abysses and caves. The path which continues with some shorter ascents and descents then quickly brings us to a crossing, where from the right side joins the path from Robanov kot and mountain pasture Ravne.
We continue in the direction of Korošica on the path which ascends diagonally on the saddle between less known Koroški vrh on the left and Mala Ojstrica on the right. We continue straight downwards (left Prag, right Ojstrica over Mala Ojstrica) on a marked path which starts descending towards Korošica. After few minutes of descent, we step on ample grassy slopes of Korošica, on which we then in few minutes walk to the mountain hut.
From the mountain hut Kocbekov dom we continue on a marked path in the direction of Ojstrica. The path already after few meters above the mountain hut goes in a lane of dwarf pines, where it gradually starts ascending steeper and steeper. After a good 20 minutes of ascent from the mountain hut Kocbekov dom the path flattens, and it passes on grassy slopes, which are soon replaced by stones. The path ahead crosses two successive gullies, and then it starts ascending steeper on the more and more panoramic slope. The path ahead leads us past two less noticeable crossings (in both cases we continue right in the direction of Ojstrica, left Planjava and Škarje) and it gradually starts turning more and more to the right. Higher, the path becomes even steeper and passes on quite crumbly slope. Further path for a short time flattens and through narrower passage brings us on the main ridge of Kamnik Savinja Alps. When we step on a ridge we continue right on a very steep path, which is further ascending on rugged rocks. This very steep path, by which there are some iron spikes for help, we follow all the way to the top of Ojstrica, and we reach it after approximately 15 minutes of additional walking (in the last part there is high risk of falling stones).
