Planina Ravne - Kocbekov dom na Korošici (via Vrtače)

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 planina and Dolga trata, 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 Dolge trate. Here the path entirely flattens and in few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to the shepherd hut on Dolge trate.
From the shepherd hut, we continue left in the direction of the mountain pasture Molička planina, Korošica, Veliki vrh and Zelene trate (slightly right Dleskovec). The path ahead leads us on pastures Dolge trate and is gently to moderately ascending. Higher, the path flattens and brings us on a smaller saddle, after which the path leads us past a watering-place for animals. We bypass the watering place on the left side, and the path only few meters ahead brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Korošica over Vrtače (slightly right Veliki vrh and Korošica over Zelene trate).
From the crossing ahead the path starts descending diagonally towards the right, and in doing so it crosses mainly with dwarf pines vegetated slopes of Dleskovec. Lower, from the slope we get to a plateau terrain full of sinkholes and smaller valleys. Well marked and relatively easy to follow path continues with some shorter ascents and occasionally a little longer descends. A little further, we get to a marked crossing, where the path branches off to the right towards the mountain pasture Molička planina and Korošica through mountain pasture Molička planina, and here we continue left in the direction of the mountain pasture Podvežak. In direction of the mountain pasture Podvežak we walk only few steps, and then we continue right in the direction of Korošica. From the crossing ahead the path gradually starts moderately ascending, and a little higher it brings us to the spot, where we join the normal path mountain pasture Podvežak - Korošica.
We continue right in the direction of Korošica and we continue on a path which continues with some shorter ascents and descents, and it runs past numerous abysses. With a view on Ojstrica, Velika Zelenica and Veliki vrh, we gradually get to the spot, where the path crosses a steeper rocky slope. On the part, where we cross a steep slope a nice view opens up towards Olševa, Peca and Raduha, and the path a little further brings us into a smaller valley, where from the right also joins a marked path from Robanov kot and mountain pasture Molička planina.
We continue in the direction of Korošica and we diagonally ascend on a saddle Sedelce, where there is the next marked crossing.
We continue straight downwards (left Prag, right Ojstrica over Mala Ojstrica) on a marked path which starts descending towards Korošica. After few minutes of descent, we step on ample grassy slopes of Korošica, on which we then in few minutes walk to the mountain hut.
