Access to the starting point:
Go over the Volovljek Pass (Kranjski Rak) or from Mozirje to Luce, then follow the signs for Solčava and the Logarska dolina. When you arrive in Robanov Kot, the signs for the Alpine valley of Roban angle direct you to the left onto a side road, which takes you to a parking area near the Roban farm, where you park. You can also park 500 m further down, where there is another parking lot, but you must not park in the parking lot of the Govc-Vršnik guesthouse, because there is no space for the guesthouse guests.
Path description:
If you have parked in the lower parking lot, continue along the road to the parking lot at Roban Farm, just a few metres further on from the last parking lot you will arrive at a crossroads, where you continue straight ahead along the road where there is a roadblock (to the right Strelovec).
The road to Robanova planina then goes into the forest and leads to a crossroads where you continue straight ahead, further along the road (left partisan hospital 45 min).
The road then leads us out of the forest to Robanov travnik, where we get a beautiful view of the surrounding walls. On the other side of the meadow, the road goes back into the forest and climbs a little more. After crossing a pasture fence, we soon emerge from the forest onto the viewpoint of Roban's mountain pasture.
Continue with mountain pasture after the "Korošica, Ojstrica" markers and the wide path leads us into the forest after only a few metres. After a short climb, the path turns left and crosses several torrents. We climb through the forest again and soon reach a small waterfall below the slopes of Molička peč and Velika Zelenice. Here the trail turns right and starts to climb up quite steep slopes with the help of a rope and some pegs. There is a short climb through the forest again on slightly flatter slopes, and then you reach a slightly rockier part of the trail. The trail then climbs for some time on steep slopes above a torrential ravine. The path here is through fine passages and is very well protected by a steel cable, so that the ascent does not cause any major problems. There are also a number of rungs and steps carved into the rock to help you along the way. There are a few steeper climbs with the help of a rope and wedges, and then the path leads to gentle slopes covered with dwarf pines. The path then leads us through dwarf pines in a short descent to a crossroads where we continue straight in the direction of Korošica (right Molička mountain pasture 10 minutes). There is a short climb and we join the path with mountain pasture Podveža, which after a further short cross-climb leads us to Sedelce.
From Sedelce continue straight down (left Prag, right Ojstrica over Mala Ojstrica) on the marked path which starts descending towards Korošice. After a few minutes of descending, you will step onto the spacious meadow of Korošica, over which you will then walk to the mountain lodge in a few minutes. From the Kocbek House, continue along the marked trail in the direction of Ojstrica. The path goes a few metres above the cottage into lane of dwarf pines, where it gradually starts to climb steeper and steeper. After a good 20 minutes' climb from Kocbek's house, the path becomes flatter, 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 to the right in the direction Ojstrica, to the left 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).
