Hunting cottage Na Brežičih - Ojstrica (hunting path)

Access to the starting point:
First drive to Luče, then continue into the Podvolovjek valley (direction Kamnik and Kranjski Rak). At the road marker between 11 and 11. 5 km, you will come to a small crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards Farmer Planinšek and the mountains Podveža, Ravne and Vodole (the branch is marked). Take this initially still asphalted road and follow it at the crossroads in the route mountain pasture Podveža. After a relatively long and in the upper part also worse macadam road we will reach the parking lot under mountain pasture Podveža (there is a ramp and many mountain signs by the parking lot), and we continue driving for another 500 m, or to the place where the road ends. Park in a suitable space at the end of the road (there is a small hunting lodge at the end of the road).
From Kamnik, drive towards the Črnivec Pass, but only as far as the crossroads where the road to Kranjski Rak turns sharp left (the turn-off is marked and is located only 500 m before the pass). At the crossroads at Kranjski Rak, continue straight ahead on the main road, which starts descending into the Podvolovjek valley. In the valley, just 100 m after the Gams bar, you will reach a crossroads where the road to the left branches off towards the farmer Planinšek and the mountains Podveža, Ravne and Vodole (the branch is marked). Continue following the above description.

Path description:
From the end of the road, walk to the hunting lodge, then continue slightly left into the forest, where you will quickly reach a beautiful hunting trail. After a few steps, the path leads to an undistinguished ridge, where the path turns to the right. The ascent continues through the forest, along a path that continues along and along the ridge from which we occasionally get a nice view of Velika planina, Konja and Rzenik. The path continues to lane of dwarf pines, where we soon come to a less obvious crossroads.
Continue slightly to the left (slightly to the right Lastovec) along a path that crosses an old grazing barrier. Further on, the path gradually starts to descend and quickly leads to the western slopes of Lastovec, which was damaged by a large fire a few years ago. The western slopes on which the path continues become steeper and steeper and are exposed to falling rocks. The fact that the way ahead is not easy is soon apparent when we have to cross an exposed rock ledge. The way ahead climbs steeply for a short distance to the very foot of the steep walls, then descends a steep and exposed shelf. There is a few minutes of traverse at the foot of the cliffs before the path turns quite left, where it turns from scree to lane of dwarf pines. There is only a short descent and we join the marked path from Podvolovjek.
Follow the marked path to the right, and after a short descent it will lead you to the intermittent lake of Stara Stala. The trail bypasses the grassy plain on the right and then continues alongside a pleasant small spring. Higher up, you reach a marked crossroads, where you continue to the left in the direction of Korošice (to the right, Lake Vodotočnik). The path continues on a moderate slope over the slopes, which are overloked and partly covered with dwarf pines. Next, the path from the Presedljaj saddle joins us from the left, and we continue straight along the rugged path, along which we soon see the signs for Lučki Dedec (the turnoff is just a few minutes before the Prag Pass).
From Prag we continue straight ahead and follow the wide path which begins to descend crosswise towards the green Korošice plain. After 10 minutes of descending, the path flattens out and you are only a few steps of easy walking away from Kocbek's home. From the Kocbek House, continue along the marked trail in the direction of Ojstrica. The path goes a few metres above the cottage to lane of dwarf pines, where it gradually starts to climb steeper and steeper. After a good 20 minutes' climb from Kocbek's house, the path becomes flat and then turns to grassy slopes, which are soon replaced by stones. The path then crosses two successive ravines, and then begins to climb steeply up the increasingly scenic slope. The way ahead takes us past two less prominent crossroads (in both cases continue right towards Ojstrica, left towards Planjava and Škarje) and gradually begins to turn more and more to the right. Higher up, the path becomes steeper and turns into a rather craggy slope. Further on, the path briefly lays down and leads us through a narrower passage to the main ridge of the Kamniško Savinjske Alps. Once on the ridge, continue to the right along the very steep path, which continues to climb the broken rocks. Follow this very steep path, helped by a few wedges, all the way to the top of Ojstrica, which is reached after about 15 minutes of further walking (there is a high risk of falling rocks in the last part).
