Gozd - Vovar (eastern path)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Kamnik, then continue driving in the direction of the Črnivec pass and Gornji Grad. After the settlement of Krivčevo, we drive for a short time on the main road towards the Črnivec pass, then continue right in the direction of the Gozd settlement. When we arrive in Gozd, from the first crossroad we continue straight (right the parish church of St. Anne in Gozd), from the second we turn right behind the houses. From the next crossroad at the hayrack we go straight (left the hamlet Laze, right the previously mentioned church), then immediately once again right (left the road continues towards the settlement Brezje nad Kamnikom) and past a few houses we drive to the parking lot near the chapel of rest.
B) We drive to the Volovljek pass or Črnivec pass, then begin descending towards Kamnik. During the descent we leave the main road and continue driving left towards the Gozd settlement. When we arrive in Gozd, from the first crossroad we continue straight (right the parish church of St. Anne in Gozd), from the second we turn right behind the houses. From the next crossroad at the hayrack we go straight (left the hamlet Laze, right the previously mentioned church), then immediately once again right (left the road continues towards the settlement Brezje nad Kamnikom) and past a few houses we drive to the parking lot near the chapel of rest.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we return to the nearby houses, where from the crossroad we continue straight (left the road from where we came to the starting point), and then the village quickly ends. Next follows an easy descent through a meadow, from which a nice view opens up, reaching to the highest peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps; when the descent ends, we start moderately ascending. We quickly arrive at a crossroad, where a forest road branches off to the left, but we continue straight on the road leading further towards the settlement Brezje nad Kamnikom. Approximately 50 meters ahead, we leave the road to the left onto a cart track leading diagonally to the left and taking us somewhat above the nearby meadow. Next follows a traverse ascent to the left; when we reach the indistinct ridge, the path splits.
Straight continues the Pot razgleda, but we continue right in the direction of Zvonček and Vovar. From the fork, we walk some 10 more steps on the cart track, then the signs for Vovar direct us left, initially steeply upwards. The steepness quickly eases, and when we reach the ridge, we join the Pot razgleda. We continue right and on a fairly level path quickly reach the summit of Vovar.
