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 straight, on the road, where there is a gate (right - Strelovec).
The road towards Robanova planina then goes into the forest and it brings us to a crossing, where we continue straight, further on the road (left - partisan hospital 45 min).
The road then brings us out of the forest on Robanov travnik, where a nice view opens up on the nearby mountain walls. On the other side of the meadow, the road goes again in the forest and ascends a little steeper. Next follows also a crossing of a grazing fence and soon after that, we come out of the forest on panoramic mountain pasture Robanova planina.
From the mountain pasture, we continue following the signs »Korošica, Ojstrica« and a wide path already after few meters brings us into the forest. After a short ascent, the path turns to the left and crosses some riverbeds of torrents. We again ascend through the forest and we soon come to a smaller waterfall below the slopes of Molička peč and Velika Zelenica. Here the path turns to the right and with the help of steel cables and some iron spikes starts ascending on quite steep slopes. Next follows again a short ascent through the forest on a little less steep slopes, and then we come on a little more rocky part of the path. The path is then for quite some time ascending on steep slopes above the torrent gully. The path here runs on nice passages and is very well secured with a steel cable, so that ascent doesn't cause bigger problems. On the path we also get help from numerous iron spikes and into a rock carved steps. Next follows few more steeper ascents with the help of steel cables and iron spikes, and then the path brings us on gentle slopes covered with dwarf pines. The path then through dwarf pines in short descent brings us to a crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Korošica (right mountain pasture Molička planina 10 minutes). Next follows a short ascent and we join the path from Planina Podvežak, which after further short diagonal ascent brings us on Sedelce. From the saddle Sedelce we descend towards the plain Korošica. After this descent follows only ten minutes walk to the hut.
