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). Further a little rough road, we then follow to the beginning of the mountain pasture Ravne, where we park on an appropriate place by the road.
From the main road to the mountain pasture Ravne is approximately 10 km.
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). Further a little rough road, we then follow to the beginning of the mountain pasture Ravne, where we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
At the beginning of the mountain pasture Ravne (also Ravni) we notice wooden mountain signposts for Veliki vrh, Korošica, Molička peč or Molička planina and Dolge Trate, which point us to the left towards the nearby cottage, which is situated on the edge of the mountain pasture. We bypass the cottage on the left side, and then we pass into a narrow lane of a forest, where blazes lead left. The path ahead leads us through the clearing, through which it ascends diagonally in the forest. Further, we are ascending through the forest, where we soon cross a grazing fence. Higher, the forest starts to get thinner, or changing into a lane of dwarf pines. On some spots a little worse beaten, but all the time easy to follow footpath higher flattens and brings us on the bottom edge of pastures of Dolge Trate. Here the path entirely flattens and in few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to the shepherd hut on Dolge Trate.
At shepherd hut, where there is a smaller marked crossing we continue right in the direction of Dleskovec (left mountain pasture Molička planina, Veliki vrh and Korošica). Further unmarked footpath on the left side bypasses the nearby cross and passes into dwarf pines through which it starts moderately ascending. From the cross ahead for some time we follow beaten and partly cutted path, after that when it flattens and it brings us to a smaller sinkhole, it suddenly almost entirely vanishes. Here we continue on the left side of a sinkhole and we ascend among dwarf pines on the left and broken rocky slope on the right. Steep part quickly ends and "path" then quickly brings us on a panoramic peak.
