Planina Vodol - Koča na Travniku

Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Šentrupert exit and then continue to Mozirje, Ljubno ob Savinji and the Logar valley. From Ljubno, follow the main road for about 6 km, then in Strmec, signs for Raduha and Snežna jama direct you to the right onto a narrower and initially still asphalted road. At the crossroads follow the signs for Snežna jama, and we follow the road, which loses its asphalt surface higher up, to mountain pasture Vodol. Park at the junction where a minor road branches off to the right in the middle of a left-hand bend, leading to the upper part of mountain pasture Vodol.
b) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Vodice and then continue towards Kamnik. In Kamnik, follow the signs for Gornji Grad and the Črnivec Pass, and just 1 km before the pass, turn left in the direction of Kranjski Rak and Podvolovljek. From Kranjski Rak (Volovljek Pass) we start descending towards Luce, where we turn right towards Mozirje. From Luce, drive towards Mozirje for about 3 km, then in Strmec, signs for Raduha and Snežna jama direct you left onto a narrower and initially still asphalted road. At the crossroads follow the signs for Snežna jama, and we follow the road, which loses its asphalt surface higher up, to mountain pasture Vodol. Park at the junction where a minor road branches off to the right in the middle of a left-hand bend, leading to the upper part of mountain pasture Vodol.

Path description:
From the bend where you parked, take the side road which leads quickly up to the top of the mountain pasture Vodol. Here, at a small crossroads, continue right and walk to the nearby hut, which the marked path passes on the left. Next, cross over mountain pasture, and then the path takes you into the forest, through which you climb steeply for a short distance. The path quickly lays down and leads us to the Bela peč pass, from which we descend to the nearby Knezova planina, where there is a marked crossroads. .
From the crossroads at Knezova planina continue straight on in the direction of Koča na Travniku, Komno and Dom na Smrekovcu (slightly left Črna na Koroškem) on a path that begins to climb moderately through initially sparse forest. The occasionally less well-beaten path climbs moderately for some time, then leads to a completely overgrown slope, from which we have a beautiful view of Pec and Golica. Above the overgrown but scenic slope, the path returns to the forest and semicircularly bypasses Presečnikov vrh. Next, we return to the ridge, where the path, surrounded by numerous blueberry bushes, gradually begins to descend. After a while, the trail, which is easy to follow, but often quite dewy in the morning and mid-morning, leads to a small wooden fence, behind which we step onto a relatively new tractor logging trail. Continue for a short distance on the above-mentioned logging trail, and then, when it turns slightly downhill, continue straight on along a pleasant woodland path, which widens behind a pasture fence into the old cart track. The path ahead leads us past a small stream (there is also a water trough along the way), after which we soon emerge from the woods into the vast grazing areas of mountain pasture Wide lawn.
Once out of the woods, continue right (left Travnik, straight Komen) and within a minute's further walk descend to the mountain hut on Travnik.
