Volovljek - Mali Rogatec (Mali Rogac)

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 Volovljek Pass, first walk to the Štajerski Rak cafeteria (the cafeteria is located on the eastern side of the Volovljek Pass, but on maps Štajerski Rak is marked where the Štajerski Rak homestead once stood).
From the Štajerski Rak refreshment bar, continue along the forest road, which begins to climb gently to moderately through the forest. During the cross-country ascent along the road, the path mostly leads us along the north-western slopes of Kranjska Ribra, from which we occasionally get a nice view of Podvolovljek and the mountains above the valley. Higher up, the forest ends transitively and a view of the highest peaks of the Kamnik and Savinja Alps opens up, and the road turns slightly to the right and leads us to an area called Na kalu, where there is a marked crossroads.
Here, the marked path to Kranjska reber branches off to the right, the road continues in a straight direction, which leads to the Črnivec Pass, and we continue to the left, along the road towards Lepenatka. The road then descends crosswise along the eastern slopes of Kašnega vrh, from where we have a nice view towards Menina mountain pasture in a few places. When the road turns sharp left and turns into cart track, leave it and continue straight into the forest. Continue through the forest for some time, descending via a short jump. At a lower level you reach a forest road, which you follow in a straight line, and then, as the road turns slightly to the right off the ridge, you continue straight on to the ascending cart track, along which there are also markings. cart track first climbs steeply up the ridge, then turns slightly left and down to the unmarked cart track, which after a short cross-country descent joins the forest road leading out of Podvolovljek.
Continue along the above-mentioned cart track (straight marked path to Lepenatka), and when you reach the road follow it up to the right. Follow the road as it ascends the western slope of Kunšperški vrh, and higher up you will come to a right turn located at the saddle between Mali Rogatec on the left and the above-mentioned summit on the right. Leave the road at the bend and continue left along the trackless road. From the point where you leave the road, follow the ridge or climb slightly to the left of it. Higher up, the path climbs very steeply and, after a short jump, quickly leads to a lesser-known peak.
The journey is about 10 minutes.
