Markova raven - Vrh Korena (marked way)

Access to the starting point:
Drive into Kamnik and follow the road towards the Kamniška Bistrica valley. Just a few tens of metres before the bottom station of the pendulum, a forest road branches off to the left down into the Korošica valley. The road then crosses a bridge and shortly afterwards comes to a crossroads where you continue straight ahead. The road then leads to a crossroads again. 1. Turn left over the bridge and follow the road uphill. The Markovo level can be identified by a small parking lot, a stream and a wide cart track which heads up to the left and the road starts to descend steeply. 2. Continue straight ahead and climb the road which leads to the next crossroads. Continue along the road on the left, which becomes very steep, and follow it to the parking lot at the left-hand bend, from which a wide cart track turns off straight ahead. Park in the parking lot on the roadside.

Path description:
From the parking lot, take the wide cart track road, which after a few dozen metres leads to the next parking lot. Continue straight across the parking lot and continue up the cart track, which turns left. After a few minutes' walk, cart track has a crossroads where you take the marked cart track to the right. Follow this for a few minutes to where the footpath to Krvavec and mountain pasture Koren branches off to the right. The branch is not marked so you have to follow the signs carefully. The path continues up the right side of the torrent quite steeply. The path then leads us to a crossroads where we continue to the right in the route ZA VRATA. The way forward slowly passes into a less dense forest, so that we sometimes cross a small meadow or even a short scree slope. The views are also getting better. Next, the path leads us under the foot of a shorter wall from which an unmarked path branches off to the right up to mountain pasture Koren. Continue slightly up the left side of the wall. The path ahead descends gently and leads to a pleasant small spring. The path continues to the left side of the small spring and starts climbing again. The path then crosses a short lane of dwarf pines and then starts to climb on grass. Further on, the path is more difficult to follow as it quickly gets lost in the grass but the markings, which are more sparse, will help. After 20 minutes of climbing from the well, the path leads us to a wooden house. The path behind the cottage turns left into the forest and after a short climb joins the path with Kriška planina (Krvavec). Continue sharp right and without a significant ascent or descent cross the lane of the forest. Further on, the path starts to climb up slopes covered with dwarf pines and a few trees. After 20 minutes of ascent, the steepness eases and the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Koren can be seen ahead. The path then descends past a watering point for animals to a shepherd's hut at mountain pasture.
Here our route continues slightly left (slightly right mountain pasture Košutna) through the meadows on the valley flor (the path is initially not very visible). The path then becomes steeper and steeper and after less than 30 minutes of walking leads us to a small puddle where there is a less well marked crossroads. Continue straight on (right Košutna) and follow the gently sloping path to the next crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of Vrh Korena (straight Kompotel). The way ahead starts to climb steeper and quickly leads us through the karst world to the place where we join the path from Veliki Zvoh to Vrh Korena (the ridge of Jez). Continue to the right and the path leads us in a few steps to a place where the path to Vrh Korena branches off to the right, which is reached after a minute's further walking. Markovo level - mountain pasture Koren 2:00, mountain pasture Koren - Vrh Korena 1:00.
