Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving in the direction of the mountain pass Črnivec. Only few 100 meters before the mentioned mountain pass we notice signs for Kranjski Rak, which point us sharply left on a narrow and at first also quite steep road. The road higher flattens and after the village Kališe, which we bypass on the upper right side, near the church of St. Ahacij turns right and flattens. From the mentioned turn, we drive about 200 or 300 more meters and then on the left side of the road, opposite of smaller water storage we park on an appropriate place by the road.
B) From Gornji Grad we drive towards Kamnik, after that only few 100 meters after mountain pass Črnivec we continue right in the direction of Kranjski Rak, on narrower and at first also quite steep road. The road higher flattens and after the village Kališe, which we bypass on the upper right side, near the church of St. Ahacij turns right and flattens. From the mentioned turn, we drive about 200 or 300 more meters and then on the left side of the road, opposite of smaller water storage we park on an appropriate place by the road.
C) From the valley Savinjska dolina at first we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. After the mountain pass Volovljek, where on the left we notice snack bar Štajerski Rak, and on the right snack bar Kranjski Rak, asphalt road starts lightly descending, and we are driving there for approximately 3 km, or to the road sign 1.5 km. Approximately 100 meters after the mentioned road sign we will notice on the left side smaller water storage, and on the right appropriate space for parking.
Path description:
By the water storage from the road wide cart track branches off, which starts ascending through the forest. Already after few meters it splits into two parts, and we continue on the right wider cart track which quickly brings us out of the forest, where from the right side joins the path from the church of St. Ahacij, and we continue sharply left on partly grassy cart track which ascends by the edge of a meadow. With occasionally overgrown cart track at first beautiful views opening up, and then the path passes into the forest, through which it is then ascending gently. After few minutes, we reach the macadam road which we follow to the right, and it soon turns sharply left. We for some time continue on the forest road, and then we get to a smaller crossroad, where short road branches off to the right downwards towards the nearby hunting cottage.
From the crossroad at the hunting cottage we continue left on a macadam road which then in a gentle ascent crosses slopes below the summit of Plešivec (1330 meters). During the crossing through the treetops view opens up a little towards the neighbouring Velika planina and Planjava and Ojstrica. A little further, we get to some sort of turning point, from where we continue straight on widest cart track, at first still bad road. At the next crossing, we go slightly right, and then in a moderate ascent we reach plain on a saddle Na križu, where in few steps we reach a marked path Črnivec - Kranjska reber.
We follow the mentioned marked path to the left, and from there a view opens up towards Menina planina and mountain pasture Tomanova planina. The path after panoramic part quickly returns into the forest and starts ascending a little steeper. After few minutes, we step out of the forest, where we cross a grazing fence, and from the left almost unnoticeably joins also unmarked path from the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski and Štajerski Rak).
Here we continue straight on a well-beaten path, which is surrounded by quite lush vegetation, mainly fern and grass. Fern is quickly replaced by less high grass, and the path leads us by a lane of thin forest, where signs for the peak point us slightly right on an increasingly panoramic path. From the path in good weather increasingly beautiful views opening up, which reach all the way to Snežnik. Next follows few minutes of light to moderate ascent and the path past a watering-place for animals without any bigger problems brings us on a panoramic peak.
