Kraljev dol - Veliki vrh (Veža) (via Planina Vodole)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving towards Stahovica and mountain pass Črnivec. Few 100 meters before the mountain pass Črnivec we leave the main road which leads towards Gornji Grad and we continue driving sharply left in the direction of the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak). From the mentioned mountain pass we continue straight (left road which leads on Velika planina, right Štajerski Rak) and start descending towards Luče. Lower the road flattens a little and brings us into a valley Podvolovljek. Further at first we drive past the turn-off of the road which leads into a valley Lučka Bela, after that also past Bar pri Gamsu. After the bar, we need to pay attention, because only few 100 meters further road which leads towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off to the left (by the spot, where we leave the main road, there is a road sign approximately 11 km). Further, we drive on at first still asphalt road which is then ascending towards the plateau Dleskovška planota. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road, and a little further it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podveža). After 9 km of driving from the main road (from Planinšek ahead it is a macadam road) we will get to a sharp right turn in the middle of which a road branches off to the left, which is already at the very beginning closed with a grazing fence. We go on the mentioned road which we then follow to a turning point by the end of the road. We park on an appropriate place by the end of the road.
B) First, we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. When by the road we notice a sign road which shows 10.5 km, we need to pay attention to the right turn off, because only a little further to the right a road towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off. Further, we drive on at first still asphalt road which is then ascending towards the plateau Dleskovška planota. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road, and a little further it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podveža). After 9 km of driving from the main road (from Planišek ahead it is a macadam road) we will get to a sharp right turn in the middle of which a road branches off to the left, which is already at the very beginning closed with a grazing fence. We go on the mentioned road which we then follow to a turning point by the end of the road. We park on an appropriate place by the end of the road.

Path description:
From the end of the road, we cross the fence and then immediately after it we continue right and next to it steeply upwards. The path soon goes into the forest, where it is for some time steeply ascending, and then it gradually flattens. Next follows few minutes walk through a thinner forest and a relatively gently sloping path quickly brings us to the shepherd hut on the mountain pasture Vodole.
From the shepherd hut, we continue on the middle of the mountain pasture, on the path which leads us past a smaller swamp. On the other side of the mountain pasture the path starts slightly ascending and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a boulder, on which we notice already quite faded signs for Korošica, which point us slightly right, on a path, which goes into the forest and gradually starts ascending steeper. A quite an overgrown path, which runs through dwarf pines, higher joins a quite wider and better beaten path which leads from the mountain pasture Planina Podvežak, and we continue straight, we cross a grazing fence and after few additional strides, we get to well Inkretov studenec, which is situated just few meters from the path.
Follows a light ascent, and then the path again flattens and brings us below relatively steep and in snow for an avalanche dangerous slopes of Tolsti vrh. A little further a pleasant path brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue slightly right in the direction of the chapel on Molička peč (slightly left Korošica). The path ahead slightly descends, and then continues in a moderate ascent through a series of smaller valleys. We soon come on a smaller crossing, where the path branches off to the left, which returns on the marked path towards Korošica, and to the right path towards the mountain pasture Ravne and Dolga Trata. We continue straight on a wide and a pleasant path, which after few minutes of additional walking brings us on a saddle Prag, where there is the next crossing.
We continue sharply right in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne and Veliki vrh (straight Molička planina) on the path which crosses slopes of Veliki vrh towards the southeast. After few minutes of additional walking, we will by the path notice signs for Veliki vrh, which point us to the left on the path which ascends through a lane of dwarf pines (straight - Planina Ravne). Higher, the footpath becomes more distinct and starts gradually ascending steeper and steeper. A pretty steep path, by which for an easier orientation there are numerous cairns and blazes, higher becomes a little worse beaten. We further follow a little less visible footpath which from the steep, partly rocky part passes into more gentle grassy slopes. And the footpath which is slowly turning towards the right, after few minutes of additional walking brings us on Veliki vrh, on which we notice a large cairn.
The starting point - Planina Vodole 30 minutes, Planina Vodole - Veliki vrh 2:05.
