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, from which a view opens up on the nearby hills.
Few strides before we step on the mentioned slope, in the direction of straight continues the cart track, on which we will continue (further on the road Ovčje jame). After a short ascent, we get to a crossing of multiple cart tracks, and we continue slightly left, on a cart track which is still ascending. Further follows quite a few crossings, and intuitively we are choosing those turn-offs, where the path is the most ascending. Behind the last crossing on the mentioned part, follows a short descent, and then we bypass the nearby sinkhole, behind which we ascend to the saddle between Podbevška peč and Seduc.
On the mentioned saddle, where there is also cross with an inscription book, we reach a marked path which leads from the mountain pass Črnivec towards Menina planina, and we follow it to the right. A little further, we step on other cart track, from which occasionally a view opens up a little towards the north. Cart track little ahead narrows into a wide path, and it soon joins the next cart track, on which we quickly get to a grazing fence, behind which we step on a grazing area of the nearby mountain pasture. The path ahead continues with some shorter ascents and descents and through pastures and through the forest brings us to the eastern edge of the mountain pasture Planina Ravni, where there stands a shepherd hut.
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.
From the hut, we continue on a marked path in the direction of Vivodnik. After a few 10 strides of easy walking, the path for a short time steeply ascends, and then it flattens and brings us on a larger grassy slope, where we run into the signpost with the caption "Vivodnik - krožna pot (circular path)". We continue slightly left (on the right path we can return) on a relatively gently sloping path, which quickly brings us in a short lane of a forest. Here the path for a short time ascends again, and then it brings us out of the forest, where in front of us we already notice a lookout tower on Vivodnik, which we reach after few steps of additional walking.
