Path description:
From the mountain pass Podmeja, we go towards the west on a bad macadam road in the direction of Sveta planina. After few 10 strides, we leave the road and we continue on a cart track which is gently ascending through the forest. Higher, the cart track entirely flattens and from an indistinct ridge gradually passes on a shady side. Here, the marked cart track turns sharply right (badly marked) and it starts considerably descending. At the end of the descent, we step on a wide cart track, on which we in few steps walk to an asphalt road which we follow to the right. Ahead with a view on Kum and ascent past few houses, we ascend to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Sveta Planina - on the road (straight - Sveta Planina - on a footpath).
Next follows a diagonal ascent on a panoramic slope, and then the road passes into the forest. A little further on the right a view opens up towards Golava, Kamnik and Mrzlica, and the road brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue right in the direction of Reška planina, Dom pod Reško planino, Gradišče and vineyard cottage Šmiglova zidanica (slightly left - Vrhe, Sveta Planina, Čemšeniška planina and Krvavica), where soon after the crossroad we notice a notification, that we are in the area of a brown bear. The path ahead continues on the asphalt road and at first on the left side bypasses Nacetov vrh (828 meters), and then also on the right side Jamškov vrh (811 meters).
When we get to the saddle between Jamškov vrh and Reška planina, from a marked crossing we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Dom pod Reško planino (slightly left - Reška planina on the ridge, vineyard cottage Šmiglova zidanica, Prebold and Grajska vas).
Follows crossing of the southern slopes of Reška planina, where at first we still walk without large changes in altitude, and after the information board of geological soil compositions we start considerably descending. On the road, we are mostly descending all the way to the church of the Assumption of Mary, where there is a marked crossing.
To the left continues the path on Reška planina, and we continue right on the path which goes between the church and the asphalt road. Next follows some descent on a little steeper footpath, and then we already get back on the road, we cross it and we are already at the mountain hut Dom pod Reško planino.
