Path description:
Opposite Gostišča GTC 902 Črnivec, next to the water bottling plant 902, we see the mountain signs, and we take the path in the direction of Velika Rogatec, Lepenatka and the top of Kašna planina (Kranjska reber). It is best to start the trail on the macadam road, which branches off from the main road to the north, and after a few steps we go left, onto the path that begins to climb through the swampy area. The initially marshy path continues along an area that was the site of a severe windstorm a few years ago (13 July 2008), but today, after artificial replanting, the hillside is becoming overgrown again. As the trees are still low, the undergrowth and scrub grows heavily in the summer, so that the path is quite overgrown in this part in the semi-dark season. Follow the fairly overgrown path to where you cross the road, then on the other side continue along cart track, which is also still quite overgrown. After crossing the road for the second time, you reach the top of the slope where the wind is raging, so the path is less overgrown further on. At this point, the path also dips a little and turns slightly to the right, where it first crosses a small stream and then continues through a mainly spruce forest. A little further on, we cross another road, then climb crosswise through the forest, and the path leads us past a small spring to the prevala Na križu, where we are joined on the left by an unmarked path with Kališa.
Continue straight on the marked path, which climbs slightly steeper, then crosses the pasture fence and leads us out of the forest, where an unmarked path from the Volovljek Pass joins us almost imperceptibly from the left.
Here we continue straight ahead and, taking in the beautiful views, walk for a few minutes along the unmarked cart track, from which we soon turn right onto a mountain path, which we quickly climb up to a small watering place for animals. From the watering-hole there is a few minutes of moderate ascent and the increasingly scenic path leads to the top of Kranjska ribra, where there is a registration box.
After resting and enjoying the views, we continue our journey in the direction of Lepenatka. The way forward begins to descend moderately along the undistinguished north-eastern ridge of Kranjska Ribri, and then leads us past a few watering points to the hut at Kašna mountain pasture. From the hut, continue downhill along the nearby road or along a marked shortcut, which will take you to a junction with a wider macadam road in 5 minutes. Here, continue first to the right (Volovljek Pass on the left), then after a few steps to the left (straight back along the dirt road to the starting point at Črnivec Pass), both in the direction of Lepenatka. From the crossroads, follow the road as it gently descends, crossing the slopes of Kašný vrh on the eastern side. After a few minutes, we reach a ridge where the road ends at the Leška gmajna turning point, and we continue straight ahead on a marked footpath that turns into a forest, through which it begins to descend, first gently and then more steeply. At a lower level we reach a forest road, which we follow in a straight direction, and then, as the road turns slightly to the right from the ridge, we continue straight on the ascending cart track, along which there are also markings. cart track first climbs steeply up the ridge, then turns slightly to the left and down an unmarked cart track, which after a short cross-country descent joins the forest road, It is possible to continue along this road towards Bivak na Kalu, but we continue straight on, first a short way along cart track and then slightly right on a marked footpath. The path immediately starts to climb steeply, but soon turns slightly to the right, where it crosses over a steeper slope. The path continues to climb steeply, occasionally leading over a short exposed section, where greater care is needed, especially in wet and snowy conditions. Higher up, the slope gradually flattens out and the path turns right to lead to the ridge to the east of Kunšperski vrh (aka Brezovec).
On reaching the ridge, continue right (left Kunšperski vrh, 5 minutes of easier tracklessness) along the marked path, which continues along the occasionally scenic ridge. Continue climbing gently to moderately along or slightly to the left of the ridge. Higher up, the path leads over a grazing fence, beyond which you enter the top grassy slopes of Lepenatka. A few minutes of moderate climbing follows, along a path from which beautiful views open up from nearby Velika Rogatec, via Raduha and Olševa, to the highest peaks of Kamnik Savinja Alps and the grassy summit of Lepenatka is reached. Črnivec - Kranjska reber 1:30, Kranjska reber - Kašna planina 15 minutes, Kašna planina - Lepenatka 1:45.

Discussion about the trail Črnivec - Lepenatka

Kar malo neprijazna, mestoma neuhojena pot , vendar, razen na začetku, lepo označena. Poplača z prelepim razgledom, še posebej na vrhu

Danes do Kunšperskega sedla megla, potem razgledi proti sončnemu Podvolovljeku in Dleskovški planoti. Od sedla proti vršnemu grebenu Lepenatke je potka res ozka in v mokrem nevarna za zdrs.
