Črnivec - Kašna planina

Access to starting point:
From Kamnik we drive towards Gornji Grad or vice versa. When we come on the mountain pass Črnivec we park on a parking lot by information boards. Parking in front of the nearby inn is only for guests.

Path description:
Opposite of the inn Gostišče GTC 902 Črnivec, at the water filling 902, we notice signposts, and we go on the path in the direction of Veliki Rogatec, Lepenatka and top of Kašna planina (Kranjska reber). It is best to start on a macadam road which from the main road branches off towards the north, and from there we go left already after few steps, on the path which starts ascending on a swampy terrain. At first swampy path continues on an area, where years ago (13th July 2008) there was a strong wind, and today after planting the slope it is again getting overgrown. Because trees are still low, in the summer time undergrowth and bushes grow strong, therefore the path is on this part in the summer time quite overgrown. On quite an overgrown path we walk to the spot, where we cross the road, and then on the other side we continue on a cart track which is also quite overgrown. When we second time cross the road, we get to the upper part of slopes, where were strong winds, so the path is further less overgrown. On this part, the path also flattens a little and turns a little to the right, where at first crosses the stream and then continues through mostly spruce forest. A little further, we cross another road, and then we are ascending diagonally through the forest, the path past a smaller source brings us to a saddle Na križu, where from the left joins an unmarked path from Kališa.
We continue straight on a marked path, which a little steeper ascends, and then crosses a grazing fence and brings us out of the forest, where from the left almost unnoticeably joins an unmarked path from the mountain pass Volovljek.
Here we continue straight and with nice views wefew minutes walk on an indistinct cart track, from which we soon go right on the mountain path, on which we quickly ascend to a smaller watering place for animals. From the watering place follows few minutes of a moderate ascent and more and more scenic path brings us to the top of Kranjska reber, where there is an inscription box.
After we take a rest and enjoy views, we continue in the direction of Lepenatka. The path ahead starts moderately descending on an indistinct northeastern ridge of Kranjska reber, then past some watering places brings us to the cottage on Kašna planina.
