Planina Ravne - Ojstrica (via Dolga trata and Mala Ojstrica)

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. 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 road on the left, 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, after 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. From Sedelce (1900 m) continue right along the Kocbekova cesta in the direction of Ojstrica and Male Ojstrica (straight down Kocbekov dom na Korošici). From the saddle, the path first descends gently over a pleasant grassy slope, then turns right where it begins to climb crosswise to the east. After a short climb, the path leads to the ridge of Mala Ojstrica (here the path from Molička mountain pasture joins us from the right), where it turns sharply to the left and continues to climb along a very scenic ridge. The path, which continues to climb along the left side of the ridge, leads us in a few more minutes of walking under the undistinguished peak of Mala Ojstrica, which is recognisable by the miniature Aljaž tower (the climb to Mala Ojstrica is only a minute out of the way). The marked path bypasses the above-mentioned peak on the left and leads us just a short distance further on to the ridge again, where we cross steep and slip-prone slopes. Further along the ridge, the path retreats to the left, crosses a short, very steep slope, and then emerges on pleasant grassy slopes. After a few minutes of pleasant walking, you enter a short, crumbly but not too steep part of the path. Next, the path lays down again, crosses another grassy slope, and then, in a moderate ascent over an increasingly rocky slope, leads us under the top slope of Ojstrica. The path ahead begins to climb steeply over the broken rocks and starts to turn increasingly to the left. The path then gently lays down, crosses very steep slopes, and then, with the help of wedges, begins to climb steeply again. The path, which offers many (mainly) natural steel cables, soon leads to the base of the summit, from which there is a relatively difficult descent into the notch between the two peaks. From the stubble, there is a short steep climb up a crumbly slope and the increasingly scenic route quickly leads us to the top of Ojstrica.
