Stahovica - Domžalski dom na Mali planini

Access to the starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, then continue in the direction of Kamnik Bistrica and the Črnivec Pass. When you get to Stahovica, turn left (or right if you are coming from Gornji Grad or Luč) in the direction of Kamnik Bistrica and the cable car to Velika planina. After about 50 m of further driving, you will see the Calcit factory on your left and a marked parking lot next to it. You can also park on the right hand side of the road in a suitable space on the road leading to the village of Prapretno.

Path description:
The walking route starts at the road Stahovica - Črnivec, but since the parking lot is at the beginning of the road leading to Prapretna, we just follow the road up. Soon you will reach the Stahovica LD Home, after which the road is laid. Just a little further on, a marked path joins us from the right, and we have two options for continuing. We can continue along the road, or we can continue along the marked footpath, which crosses the road a few more times. Higher up, the two paths merge and lead us through the upper part of the village of Prapretno to a sharp left turn where we leave the road.
Continue on the wide and well-trodden path (direction St. Primož nad Kamnikom), which climbs moderately through the forest. The path then leads past two chapels and a water trough to a marked crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of Velika planina and Kisovec (straight on to St Primož and St Peter for 5 minutes; it is also possible to continue on to Velika planina past the churches mentioned above; the latter route is about 15 minutes longer). The path continues to climb steeply and after a short climb leads us to the edge of an indistinct ridge, where it turns left (here the path to Kisovec branches off directly, and the path past St. Primož joins us from the right). Continue along the pleasant forest path, which climbs steeply for a short time and leads to the edge of a viewpoint (overloking Kamnik and the surrounding area). The ascent continues along a moderately steep path, which climbs through the forest on the slopes of the lesser-known Ravný Hill (1204 m) and, higher up, Pirče Peak (1373 m).
Higher up, you reach a ridge about halfway between the two peaks, and the path continues to the right, where after a few minutes of further walking you reach a marked crossroads, where you have two options for continuing.
In dry and dry weather, it is preferable to continue along the lower left path, which leads us over the panoramic and relatively steep slopes of Pasji peči, otherwise continue slightly to the right and continue along the path that climbs to Pirčev vrh. The latter path is slightly longer and more suitable for winter days and for people who are afraid of crossing steep slopes. The two paths join at a saddle north-east of Pirčev Peak, where the next crossroads are reached. Continue straight ahead (right mountain pasture Kisovec) along the path, which gradually starts to climb steeper and steeper. Higher up, the path lies and leads us over a pasture fence to the southern edge of plateau Velika planina. Just a few metres above the grazing fence, we cross a wider path, and we continue straight ahead on a slightly less visible track, which soon leads us to the first huts on mountain pasture. Follow the gently sloping path across the pastures to the memorial to those who died in the Allied plane crash in 1944. Just a few metres before the memorial, continue left (Jarški dom on the right) and then, after a moderately steep path, you will reach the Črnuški dom na Mali mountain pasture in 5 minutes' further walking.
From the Črnuški dom we continue along a wide path, which in a few minutes of slight ascent, leads us to a crossroads, where we join the path from the Jarško dom on the right. Here, continue to the left and in a few 10 steps of further walking you will arrive at the Domžalski dom na Mali mountain pasture.
