Markova raven - Veliki Zvoh (on unmarked path via Razor)

Access to the starting point:
a1) First drive to Kamnik, then continue in the direction of Kamnik Bistrica and the Črnivec Pass. At Stahovica, leave the main road towards the Črnivec Pass and turn left in the direction of Kamnik Bistrica and the cable car to Velika planina. A few 10 metres before the large parking lot of the Kings Hrib (the parking lot is located near the lower station of the pendulum on Velika planina), turn left onto the macadam road, which first descends to the Kamniška Bistrica River, which it crosses via a bridge. On the other side of the bridge you reach the valley of the Korošice River, along which you continue driving. Soon the first road branches off to the right, and we continue straight on (level Markovo can also be reached on the right road description a3) to the next crossroads, where we turn left (straight on Markovo level description a2). The road then turns sharp right and continues to lead us over several torrents (after heavi rains or storms the road is difficult to follow or not at all). We continue for a few kilometres and then we come down the slope into the Korošica valley, where the road turns sharp right, and in the middle of the bend a wide cart track or worse road branches off to the left. Park in a suitable place on the roadside, or take the worse road for another 10 metres to another small "parking area".

Soon the first road branches off to the right, and we continue straight on (Markovo level can also be reached by the right road description a3) to the next crossroads, where we also continue straight on (left Markovo level description a1). For some time we continue to climb moderately along the Korošica stream, then the road becomes very steep and partly unpaved (after heavi rains it is often impassable). Higher up, a dirt road (description a3) joins us from the right, then after a few 100 metres it starts to climb steeply again in serpentines. When you reach the left-hand bend in the middle of which a wide cart track or worse road branches off to the right, you are on the Markovo level. Park in a suitable place on the roadside, or take the minor road for another 10 metres to another small "parking area". a3) First drive to Kamnik, then continue in the direction of Kamnik Bistrica and the Črnivec Pass.

Soon you will reach the first crossroads, where you turn sharp right (straight ahead Markovo level description a1 and a2). After a short drive, you quickly reach the slopes above the Kamniško Bistrica River, where you turn left at the nearby crossroads (straight ahead is the road that returns to the main road to the Dom v Kamniški Bistrica). The trail climbs for some time along the torrential stream, then turns left and crosses the slopes of the Mokrice River. A little further on, a road branches off to the right, which ends in a forest after a few 100 metres, and we continue straight on to where it joins the road leading through the Korošice valley (description a2). Here, continue slightly right and the road climbs higher over some steep serpentines. When you reach a left turn in the middle of which a wide cart track or worse road branches off to the right, you are on the Markovo level. Park in a suitable place on the roadside, or take the minor road for another 10 metres to another small "parking area".
b1) From Gornji Grad, drive towards Kamnik via the Črnivec Pass or from Luce via the Volovljek Pass, and follow the main road to the end of the Stahovica settlement, where turn right towards Kamniška Bistrica and the cable car to Velika planina. A few 10 metres before the large parking lot of the Kings Hrib (the parking lot is located near the bottom station of the pendulum on Velika planina), turn left onto a macadam road, which first descends to the Kamniška Bistrica river, which it crosses via a bridge. On the other side of the bridge you reach the Korošice valley, along which you continue driving. Soon the first road branches off to the right, and we continue straight on (level Markovo can also be reached on the right road description b3) to the next crossroads, where we turn left (straight on Markovo level description b2).

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the wide cart track or worse road, which after a few 10 metres leads to another "parking area" or turning point, from where you continue straight on the slightly narrower cart track, which turns left. After a few minutes, cart track splits into two parts, and we continue on the marked right one, which we also walk on for only a few minutes, as the markings lead us a little further to the right on a marked path towards Kamniški vrh, Krvavec and mountain pasture Koren (the branch is not marked, so we have to follow the markings carefully), which starts climbing through the forest. The path continues up the right-hand side of the nearby torrent and climbs quite steeply, and we walk along it to the next, this time slightly better marked, crossroads.
At the crossroads, continue to the right in the direction of the sign "ZA VRATA" and continue through the gradually less dense forest, so that we occasionally cross a clearing, meadow or a shorter scree slope, from where we get a nice view, especially of the peaks around the Korošica valley. The way forward leads us under the foot of a shorter wall, where an unmarked path branches off to the right up towards mountain pasture Koren and also a cross-hunting trail towards Medvedja jama.
From this crossroads, continue along the left-hand path, which bypasses the nearby cliff on the left. A slight descent follows and the path leads to a small refreshing spring, which unfortunately dries up on dry days. We then move to the left side of the small spring and start climbing again. There is a short lane of dwarf pines climb, then the path changes to a grassy slope, where it becomes more difficult to follow, but the few markings are helpful. After about 20 minutes of ascent from the small spring, we reach a small hunting hut, above which the path turns left and joins the more beaten and also marked path leading from Kriška planina towards mountain pasture Koren.
When you reach the marked trail, continue right and cross the forest. The path quickly leaves the forest and passes through bushes and dwarf pines, and then gradually leads through a pasture fence to the next unmarked crossroads, which is located right in the middle of a sharp right-hand bend. The marked footpath towards mountain pasture Koren continues to the sharp right, and we continue straight on a less beaten, but still well-traced path, which crosses the slopes below Velika Zvoh further to the left. While crossing, we soon cross a small ravine, which is easy to cross on land, but if there is still snow in the ravine, which can happen in late spring or early summer, the crossing is dangerous because the ravine ends with a jump. The trail then ascends and we can admire not only the beautiful views, but also the various mountain flowers (Carniola lily, Turkish lily, etc. ). Higher up, the trail leads over a small scree slope and an interesting rock cliff. The cliff, on which the memorial is located, is bypassed on the left, and then gradually turned into the lane, where the path becomes a little more overgrown. When the overgrown part ends, continue slightly to the right, and then follow the less visible path for a few minutes to the edge of the bloodavška ski slopes.
The ski slope is reached at the Razor saddle, where you must first cross a safety fence, then continue right towards Veliki Zvoh (left Krvavec and Dom na Krvavcu) to the nearby red direction signs, which are located shortly before the crossroads, where a marked trail branches off slightly to the left towards mountain pasture Dolgi njiva. Continue straight ahead here and start climbing steeply along the transport-rescue road, which is cobbled at the steepest part. The steepness gradually eases and the path leads to a reservoir, which is used for snowmaking on the ski slope. Go around the lake on the left, then continue slightly to the right and in a few minutes you will reach the top of the Zvoha peak.
The stamp and the registration book are located a little below the summit, along the marked trail that continues towards Vrch Korena.
During the ski slope's opening hours, walking on the part of the trail where it crosses the ski slope is forbidden.
