Planina Ravne - Ojstrica (via Dolga trata and Kocbekov dom)

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 Luce. Lower down, the road bends slightly and leads to the Podvolovljek valley. Continue past the road leading to the Lučka Bela valley, then past 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 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 leads us a little further to the next crossroads, where we continue straight on in the direction of mountain pasture Ravne (on 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.
b) First drive to Luce, then continue to 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 leads us a little further 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 at a suitable place on the roadside.

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 straight ahead in the direction of Korošica and Molička mountain pasture along the path, which descends slightly from time to time and then rises again. The path continues round the slopes of the Velika summit and leads to a crossroads where the path to the summit branches off to the right. Here we continue straight on the path, which leads us only slightly further to the Prag preval, where the next crossroads is. Continue straight on (sharp left mountain pasture Podveža) along the marked mountain path, which gradually begins to descend. After a good 10 minutes of descent, the path is laid and leads to a small swamp, beyond which you reach the next crossroads. Continue slightly left in the direction of Korošice (straight ahead Molička mountain pasture, to the right Robanov kot) along a pleasant mountain path, which begins to climb moderately. Higher up, the trail turns slightly to the left and then joins the trail from mountain pasture Podvežak. Continue right in the direction of Korošice, following the cross-trail, which in a few minutes of further walking ascends to Sedelce (1900 m), where there is a marked crossroads. Continue straight down (left Prag, right Ojstrica over Mala Ojstrica) on the marked path that starts descending towards Korošice. After a few minutes of descending, you will reach the vast grassy slopes of Korošica, which you will then walk along in a few minutes to the mountain lodge.
From the Kocbek home, continue along the marked trail in the direction of Ojstrica. The trail goes a few metres above the cottage into the dwarf pines zone, where it gradually starts to climb steeper and steeper. After a good 20 minutes of ascent 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 Ojstra, which is reached after about 15 minutes of further walking (there is a high risk of falling rocks in the last part).
