Access to starting point:
Through the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak) or from Mozirje we drive to Luče, and then we follow the signs for Solčava and valley Logarska dolina. When we get to the settlement Robanov Kot, signs for alpine valley Robanov kot point us to the left on a side road, on which we drive to the parking lot near the farm Roban, where we park. We can also park already 500 meters lower, where there is one more settled parking lot, but we are not allowed to park on a parking lot of boarding house Govc-Vršnik, because consequently there isn't enough space for guests of the boarding house.
Path description:
If we've parked on the lower parking lot we continue on the road to the parking lot at the farm Roban, and only few meters ahead from the last parking lot we get to a crossroad, where we continue sharply right (straight - Robanova planina - a gate). The road which then starts ascending steeper we follow all the way to the farm Knez (to here we need approximately 1.5 hour).
Only few meters before the farm there is a crossroad, where we continue on the left road (the path straight leads through the yard), which after a long turn joins the road which leads through the yard. And by the road then after few minutes of walking from the farm, we notice a wooden mountain signpost with the caption Strelovec, which points us to the left and slightly downwards, on a cart track. The cart track then crosses a small well, which in dry days dries up, and then starts ascending mostly through the forest and higher it changes into a steep footpath which then crosses few steep slopes. The path higher passes into a dense forest, which ends with a nice vantage point, from which a nice view opens up on peaks and walls above Robanov kot. Next follows traversing of partly vegetated grassy slopes, and then the path goes into the forest, after which we step on panoramic mountain pasture Knezova planina.
