Kraljev hrib - Planina Rzenik

Access to the starting point:
First we drive to Kamnik, then we continue in the direction of Kamnik Bistrica and the cable car to Velika planina. At Stahovica, turn left (direction Kamniška Bistrica and cable car Velika planina) and follow the road ascending moderately, then follow it to the large parking lot near the bottom station of the cable car to Velika planina (the parking lot is on the right hand side of the road).

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the road in the route mountain pasture Down and Velika planina. After about 100 m of walking along the road, just before the first right turn, you will see on the left hand side a wide path that climbs up into the forest (the turn-off is not marked). Continue along the above-mentioned path, which soon crosses the lane of bushes and immediately afterwards leads to a crossroads, where you continue on the right-hand path. Continue along the path which, after a short climb, leads to a forest road which you follow to the left (unmarked).
After a minute or two of walking along the road, you will come to a marked crossroads, where you continue to the right along a marked footpath. The path ahead climbs gently at first between the hemlock stands, then starts to climb steeply. The relatively steep path, which passes through the forest the whole way, leads us higher up to a short section that is exposed to falling rocks. The path climbs steeper before turning left, where the steepness subsides. After a few minutes of easy walking, the path leads to a forest road, which you follow to the right. Follow the road, which immediately passes from the forest to the western edge of mountain pasture Down for about 5 minutes to a marked crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of Konjo (right Velika planina).
The way ahead climbs moderately across the meadow, then passes into the forest, where it turns to the right and gradually starts to climb steeper and steeper. There is a steep climb through the forest for about 20 minutes, and then the path leads to a small lookout point. Here the path turns left and also slightly slopes down. Continue along the moderately steep path, where you soon pass from the increasingly sparse forest into the lane of dwarf pines. There is a short climb on a well-trodden path through dwarf pines and the path leads to mountain pasture Rzenik, at the edge of which a shepherd's hut can be seen.
