Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and cableway on Velika planina. In Stahovica we continue left (direction Kamniška Bistrica and cableway Velika planina) and we follow moderately ascending road to a large parking lot near the bottom cableway station on Velika planina (parking lot is located on the right side of the road).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Dol and Velika planina. After approximately 100 meters of walking on the road, just before the first right turn, we will notice on the left side at first a wide footpath which ascends in the forest (turn-off isn't marked). We continue on the mentioned path, which soon crosses a lane of bushes and immediately and then it brings us to a crossing, where we continue on the right path. Further, we are ascending on a footpath which after a short ascent brings us to a forest road which we follow to the left (unmarked).
After a minute or two of walking on the road, we come at the marked crossing, where we continue right on a marked footpath. The path ahead at first gently ascends among site of wild garlic, and then it starts ascending steeper and steeper. A relatively steep path, which all the time run through the forest, higher brings us to a short part, that is exposed to falling stones. Further, the path ascends even steeper, and then turns to the left, where the steepness decreases. Next follows only few minutes of easy walking and the path brings us to a forest road which we follow to the right. The road which immediately passes out of the forest on the western edge of the mountain pasture Planina Dol we follow approximately 5 minutes, to a marked crossing, where we continue right - direction Velika planina towards shepherd huts on the mountain pasture (left mountain pasture Rzenik and Konj), which we reach after few additional strides of easy walking.
