Planina Podvežak - Planjava (via Škarje)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving into a valley of Podvolovjek (direction Kamnik and Kranjski Rak). At the road sign between 11 and 11.5 km, we will get to a smaller crossroad, where a road towards the farm Planinšek and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the right (turn-off is marked). We go on this at first still asphalt road which at the crossroads we follow in the direction of the mountain pasture Podvežak. On relatively long and in the upper part also worse macadam road we will get to the parking lot below the mountain pasture Podvežak (by the starting point are a gate and numerous signposts).
From Kamnik we drive towards the mountain pass Črnivec, but only to a crossroad, where the road towards Kranjski Rak branches off sharply to the left (turn-off is marked and is located only 500 meters before the mentioned mountain pass). At the crossroad at Kranjski Rak we continue straight on the main road which starts descending into a valley of Podvolovjek. In the mentioned valley we will only 100 meters after bar Gams come to a crossroad, where the road towards the farm Planinšek and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the left (turn-off is marked). Further, follow the upper description.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath (or road) in the direction of the mountain pasture Podvežak. Both road and footpath which during the ascent crosses a forest road, in 15 minutes of a moderate ascent bring us to shepherd cottage on the mountain pasture Podvežak, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Rogatec and Lepenatka.
From the mountain pasture, we continue on a marked, but at first poorly visible path, which soon goes into the forest. The path through the forest a little steeper ascends, and then passes into a smaller unvegetated valley, above which it entirely flattens. Next follows few minutes of crossing the slopes below the side ridge of Deska, and then the path brings us on a less noticeable crossing, where the unmarked path branches off to the left, which leads towards Deska and lake Vodotočno jezero. We continue straight on a marked path, which descends on a pleasant grassy plain, and then turns a little towards the right and it ascends through a lane of dwarf pines. On the top of the ascent from the right joins the path from the mountain pasture Vodole, and we continue left, we cross a grazing fence and after few additional strides, we come 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 brings us to a less noticeable crossing, where we continue left in the direction towards Planjava and Škarje (right Ojstrica). Further, the path turns slightly towards the left, crosses relatively crumbly gully, and then passes on less steep slopes, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend on a saddle Škarje.
On the saddle Škarje sign on the rock points us to the left. The path steeply ascends and avoids the ridge a little on the south side. We again get closer to the ridge and we ascend on a partly grassy slope. After that, the path bypasses the peak of Baba (Lučka Brana 2244 meters), to which we have from the marked path only few minutes of ascent. The path then becomes less steep and later also descends a little by crossing south slopes. At the end path turns to the left and for a short time becomes again a little more demanding. We in ascent cross steep slopes below Planjava, and then we get to a crossing, where we join the other paths on Planjava. At the crossing, we go right and follows only a shorter ascent on the upper slope of the mountain.
