Access to starting point:
a) First, we drive to Gornji grad, and then we continue driving in the direction of the mountain pass Črnivec and Kamnik. When we get to the settlement Šmiklavž, opposite of a religious symbol (cross) we continue right in the direction of the path over Mačkin Kot, company Mizarske and tesarske storitve Belaj Janez s.p. and Šmiklavž 16-26, 28-34. Further, we drive past individual houses, and then, when we cross the stream Mačkovec, the road starts ascending steeper, and we are driving there to the homestead Enci, near of which we park on an appropriate place. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots.

Path description:
From the crossroad at the homestead Enci we continue left and we walk through the yard of a nearby homestead. Behind the houses, we continue also through a pasture, and then the road passes into the forest, where it turns right, and further it is moderately ascending. Higher follows few more zig-zags, and at the crossings we follow the road, not the cart tracks, which branch off from the road. Higher, the road reaches an indistinct forested broad ridge, where it turns a little to the right, and in the middle of the turn a wider cart track branches off to the right, on which we can continue towards Lepenatka, and we continue on the road all the way until we reach the main ridge between Kranjska reber and Lepenatka (saddle Kunšperk).
Immediately, when we reach the ridge, we continue left on a marked footpath (right Lepenatka), which is at first moderately, after that steeply ascending on a forested ridge. During the ascent, the path leads us over a short jump, and then it gradually flattens and higher brings us to a forest road.
When we reach the road, if we look to the right a view opens up on two-thousanders of Kamnik Savinja Alps, and we continue on the road which on the left side bypasses Kašni vrh, and when after few minutes of a diagonal ascent we reach the road which leads from the mountain pass Črnivec towards the mountain pass Volovljek, few steps we continue to the right, and then at the next crossroad left upwards towards Kašna planina.
The path ahead crosses a grazing fence, and then we continue the ascent on the road or on a marked shortcut. Wherever we continue after good 5 minutes we will come to the hut on Kašna planina.
