Planina Dol - Rzenik (west path)

Access to the starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, then continue our drive towards the Črnivec Pass. Just 100 m before the pass, we see signs for Kranjski Rak, which direct us sharp left onto a narrow and initially quite steep road. The road is then higher and leads to the Volovjek Pass, where, just after the Kranjski Rak guesthouse, turn left onto the road in the route Velika planina. Continue along the dirt road, which leads you higher up to the next slightly larger crossroads. Continue to the right (straight ahead mountain pasture Kisovec) and follow the moderately ascending road past the Ušivec parking lot. From the parking lot continue on the slightly worse macadam road, which at the crossroads follow in the route mountain pasture Dol. After a while the road starts to descend steeply, and we follow it to a marked parking lot near mountain pasture Dol.
From the Savinjska valley, we first drive to Luce, and then continue on towards Kamnik. When you reach the Volovjek (Kranjski Rak) pass, turn right in the route Velika planina. Continue following the above description.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the dirt road, which descends only slightly towards the western part of mountain pasture. After a few minutes of easy walking, you will see a shepherd's hut on the left, and we continue along the dirt road for another 10 m, to a place where we see signs for Konja on a tree, which direct us to the right across the meadow (Velika planina on the left, straight ahead the valley of the Kamniška Bistrica - the lower station of the cable car to Velika planina). The trail continues on a moderate ascent across the meadow, then into the forest, where it turns 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 dwarf pines zone. 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.
At the hut, leave the marked path leading to Konja and turn slightly left to walk to the western part of the partly overgrown mountain pasture. Here, between dwarf pines, you will see a less well-trodden path leading into a compacted strip of dwarf pines, through which a path, though burnt, leads, covered with tall grass. The moderately steep path gradually turns more and more to the left, and then, when it reaches a ridge, turns to the right and, after a few minutes' further walking, leads us to a grassy summit.
