Mačkin Kot (Enci) - Lepenatka (over saddle Kunšperk)

Access to starting point:
a) First, we drive to Gornji grad, and then we continue driving in the direction of the mountain pass Črnivec and Kamnik. When we get to the settlement Šmiklavž, opposite of a religious symbol (cross) we continue right in the direction of the path over Mačkin Kot, company Mizarske and tesarske storitve Belaj Janez s.p. and Šmiklavž 16-26, 28-34. Further, we drive past individual houses, and then, when we cross the stream Mačkovec, the road starts ascending steeper, and we are driving there to the homestead Enci, near of which we park on an appropriate place. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots.
B) We drive into Kamnik, and then we continue driving towards the mountain pass Črnivec and towards Gornji Grad. When we descend to the settlement Šmiklavž, few 100 meters further from the road sign 5 km, we turn left in the direction of the path over Mačkin Kot, company Mizarske and tesarske storitve Belaj Janez s.p. and Šmiklavž 16-26, 28-34. Further, we drive past individual houses, and then, when we cross the stream Mačkovec, the road starts ascending steeper, and we are driving there to the homestead Enci, near of which we park on an appropriate place. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots.

Path description:
From the crossroad at the homestead Enci we continue left and we walk through the yard of a nearby homestead. Behind the houses, we continue also through a pasture, and then the road passes into the forest, where it turns right, and further it is moderately ascending. Higher follows few more zig-zags, and at the crossings we follow the road, not the cart tracks, which branch off from the road. Higher, the road reaches an indistinct forested broad ridge, where it turns a little to the right, and in the middle of the turn a wider cart track branches off to the right, on which we continue the ascent (it is also possible to continue on the road). After few minutes of a steep ascent on a cart track we reach the end of the forest road which we follow to the left, and we walk there to the spot, where we reach the ridge or saddle Kunšperk (to here possible also, if on previous crossing we don't continue on a cart track).
From the saddle, we continue right in the direction of Lepenatka, at first still on a cart track, after that slightly right on a marked footpath. The path immediately starts ascending steeply, and soon also turns a little to the right, where it ascends diagonally through more steep slopes. Further, the path is steeply ascending, and occasionally leads us also through some shorter exposed part, where mainly in wet or snow more caution is needed. Higher slope gradually flattens, and the path turns right and brings us on the ridge east from Kunšperski vrh (also Brezovec).
When we reach the ridge, we continue right (left Kunšperski vrh, 5 minutes of easy pathless terrain) on a marked path which continues on occasionally panoramic ridge. Further, we are gently to moderately ascending on or a little left from the ridge. Higher, the path leads over a grazing fence, behind which we step on the upper grassy slopes ofLepenatka. Next follows few minutes of a moderate ascent, on the path, from which beautiful views are opening up, which reach from the nearby Veliki Rogatec, over Raduha and Olševa, to the highest peaks of Kamnik Savinja Alps and we already reach the grassy peak Lepenatka.
