Planina Podvežak - Veliki vrh (Veža) (via Prag)

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 you will reach the parking lot under mountain pasture Podveža (at the starting point there is a ramp and a number of mountain signs).
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 Podveža, Ravne and Vodole mountains (the branch is marked). Follow the description above.

Path description:
From the parking lot, take the footpath (or road) in the route mountain pasture Podveža. Both the road and the footpath, which crosses a forest road during the ascent, lead us in 15 minutes of moderate ascent to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Podveža, from which we have a beautiful view towards Rogatec and Lepenatka.
From mountain pasture continue along the marked, but at first less visible path, which soon goes into the forest. The path through the forest climbs a little steeper and then enters a small uncultivated valley, above which it completely flattens out. It is followed by a few minutes of crossing the slopes below the side ridge of the board, and then the path leads to a less visible crossroads, where an unmarked path branches off to the left, leading towards Deska and the Watercourse Lake. Continue straight on the marked path, which descends into a pleasant grassy plain, then turns slightly to the right and climbs through the dwarf pines zone. At the top of the climb, the path with the mountain pasture Vodole joins from the right, and we continue left, crossing a pasture fence and after a few further steps we reach the Inkret's Well, which is located just a few metres off the path.
There is only a slight climb, and then the path lies down again and leads us under the relatively steep and avalanche-prone slopes of Tolstego vrh (Tolstego Peak). A little further on, a pleasant path leads us to a marked crossroads, where we continue slightly to the right in the direction of the chapel on Molička peč (slightly to the left Korošica). The way forward descends slightly, then continues in a moderate ascent over a series of several small valleys. Soon there is a small crossroads where a path branches off to the left, returning to the marked path towards Korošica, and to the right the path towards mountain pasture Ravne and Dolga Trata. We continue straight along the wide and pleasant path, which after a few minutes of further walking leads us to the Prag preval, where the next crossroads is.
We continue to the sharp right in the direction of mountain pasture Ravne and Velika peak (straight ahead Molička mountain pasture) on the path which crosses the slopes of Velika peak to the south-east. After a few minutes of further walking, you will notice a small wooden signpost by the side of the path, with the inscription Velika vrh, which directs you to the left to a slightly less visible path that climbs through the dwarf pines zone. Higher up, the path becomes slightly more distinct and gradually starts to climb steeper and steeper. The rather steep path, along which a number of cairns are used to help orientation, starts to disappear higher up. Next, follow the less visible path, which changes from a steep partly rocky part to more grassy slopes. After a few minutes of further walking, the less visible path, which slowly turns to the right, leads us to the Velika summit where we see a large cairn.
