Access to the starting point:
a) First, drive to Kamnik, then continue driving towards the Črnivec Pass. Just a few 100 m before the pass, you will see signs for Kranjski Rak, which direct you sharp left onto a narrow and initially quite steep road. The road is higher and then leads us to the Volovljek Pass, where we park near the Kranjski Rak guesthouse (parking in front of the guesthouse is only allowed for guests). There is a little more parking space near the Štajerski Rak guesthouse.
b) From Gornji Grad, drive towards Kamnik, and then, just 100 m after the Črnivec Pass, turn right towards Kranjski Rak. Continue as described above.
c) From the Savinjska valley, first drive to Luce, then continue towards Kamnik. When you reach the Volovljek pass, park in a suitable place next to the Kranjski Rak guesthouse (only guests are allowed to park in front of the guesthouse). There is a little more parking space near the Štajerski Rak guesthouse.
Path description:
From the starting point, first walk to the Volovjek Pass, then continue eastwards at the crossroads (direction Štajerski Rak and Kašna mountain pasture). The road, which continues to climb moderately, quickly leads to the Štajerski Rak guesthouse, near which you will notice a large parking lot (a possible starting point). Continue along the forest road, which climbs gently to moderately through the forest. From the road, which crosses the slopes of Kranjska ridge on the north side, we occasionally get some views of the Savinja side, where we can see Ojstrica and the Dleskovská plateau, and a little higher up, Raduha. After a while the road starts to turn more and more to the right, where after a few minutes of further walking we are then led to a smaller preval Na Kalu.
Here we leave the wide road and continue to the right along the slightly steeper cart track, which in 10 minutes of further walking will take us up to the shepherd's tent on Kašna planina (from the Na Kalu prevala, we can also climb up to Kašna planina by the newly built road).
