Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Kamnik, then continue to Stahovica and the Črnivec Pass. A few 100 metres before the Črnivec Pass, leave the main road leading to Gornji Grad and drive sharp left in the direction of the Volovljek Pass (Kranjski Rak). From the above-mentioned pass, continue straight ahead (on the left the road leading to Velika planina, on the right the Štajerski Rak) and start descending towards Luče. Lower down, the road bends slightly and leads to the Podvolovljek valley. In the following, you first pass the road branch leading to the Lučka Bela valley, and then the bar at Gams. After the bar, pay attention, because just a few 100 metres further on, a road branches off to the left, leading to mountain pasture Podveža and mountain pasture Ravne and the Planinšek farm (at the point where you leave the main road, the road marking is approximately 11 km). Continue along the initially still asphalted road, which climbs further towards the Dleskovská plateau. Higher up, the road to Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue along the upper left road, which a few 100 metres further on from the turnoff to the Planinšek farm becomes macadam, and this road leads us a little further on to the next crossroads, where we continue straight on in the direction of mountain pasture Ravne (to the left, mountain pasture Podveža). Continue on a slightly less favourable road, then follow to the start of mountain pasture Ravne, where you park in a suitable place on the roadside.
From the main road to mountain pasture Ravne is about 10 km, of which about 4 km are macadam.
b) First drive to Luce, then continue driving towards Kamnik. When you see the road sign by the side of the road indicating 10,5 km, pay attention to the right fork, as just a little further on the road will branch off to the right towards mountain pasture Podveža and Ravne and the Planinšek farm. Continue along the initially still asphalted road, which climbs further towards the Dleskovški plateau. Higher up, the road to Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue along the upper left road, which a few 100 metres further on from the turn-off to Planinšek Farm becomes macadam, and this road leads us a little further on to the next crossroads, where we continue straight on in the direction of mountain pasture Ravne (to the left of mountain pasture Podveža). The road to the right is the road to Planinšek Farm, and the road to Planinšek Farm becomes macadam. Continue on a slightly less favourable road, then follow to the start of mountain pasture Ravne, where you park at a suitable place on the roadside. From the main road to mountain pasture Ravne is about 10 km, of which about 4 km are macadam.
Path description:
At the beginning of mountain pasture Ravne (also Ravni) we see wooden mountain direction signs for Velika vrh, Korošica, Molička mountain pasture and Dolgo trato, which direct us to the left towards the nearby hut, which is located on the edge of mountain pasture. Go around the hut on the left and then into the narrow lane of a forest, where signs lead you to the left. The path ahead leads through a coppice, over which it climbs transversely into the forest. Continue climbing through the forest, soon crossing a grazing fence. Higher up, the forest begins to thin out, or change into lane of dwarf pines. In a few places, the slightly less well-beaten but still well-traced path climbs higher and leads to the lower edge of the Long Lawn pastures. Here the path is fully laid and in a few 10 steps of further walking leads us to the shepherd's hut on the Long Grass.
From the shepherd's hut continue left in the direction of Molička mountain pasture, Korošica, Velika vrh and Zeleni traty (slightly to the right Dleskovec). The way ahead leads through the pastures of the Long Lawn and climbs gently to moderately. Higher up, the path lays down and leads us to a small pass, after which the path leads us past a watering place for animals. The watering trough is bypassed on the left, and the path leads us a few metres further to a small crossroads, where we continue slightly to the right in the direction of Velika vrh and Korošica (straight down Korošica via Vrtač). Further on, the path passes to the western slopes of Dleskovec, over which it begins to descend crossways towards the crossroads at Zeleni trata. After a short descent, you reach the above-mentioned crossroads, and from there continue left in the direction of Korošica (right mountain pasture Ravne via Korit). Just a little further on, you reach a point where the path to Velika vrh branches off to the right.
Continue towards Velika vrh, and the path ahead leads along an undistinguished valley to the east, then north-east of Velika vrh. When the marked trail to Velika summit turns left up the slope, we continue straight ahead on a lesser track or partly trackless path. Here we see the Cave bivouac on the right, which is a good 10 minute descent, and we continue crossing the slopes of Velika Zelenica. After a few minutes, we reach a slightly wider path, and continue along it to the notch between Velika Zelenica on the left and Molička peč on the right. From the notch, which offers a fine view, the path first climbs moderately and then crosses the slopes of Molička peč. In the second part of the crossing, before the path starts to descend, a beautiful passage opens up on the left towards the summit of Molička peč, which is about 10 minutes' climb up a moderately steep slope surrounded by dwarf pines.
