Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving in the direction of the mountain pass Črnivec. Only a few 100 m before the mentioned mountain pass we notice signs for Kranjski Rak, which point us sharply left onto a narrow and at first also quite steep road. The road higher up flattens and then brings us to the mountain pass Volovljek, where near the inn Kranjski Rak we also park (parking in front of the inn is allowed only for guests).
B) From Gornji Grad we drive towards Kamnik, and then only a few 100 m after the mountain pass Črnivec we continue right in the direction of Kranjski Rak. Further, we follow the above description.
C) From the Savinja Valley we first drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. When we reach the mountain pass Volovljek we park at a suitable place near the inn Kranjski Rak (parking in front of the inn is allowed only for guests).
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road along which we have parked. After 25 minutes of walking, the road brings us to a larger clearing, where there is a junction. We head onto the left road with signs for Dom na Kisovcu. The road then goes into the forest and ascends gently. Soon it brings us out of the forest, where the road starts to descend slightly to the parking lot on Rakove ravni. Here the road turns left into the forest and after a further 20 minutes of walking brings us to the mountain hut Dom na Kisovcu.

Excursion point suitable for families with small children,(even in stroller) who are not used to more demanding ascents, I would also suggest it to the elderly. Clean air and unspoiled nature!

Nice trip, must be even nicer in summer. Kids thrilled. Be careful where you park your cars, someone twisted my door with a crowbar. Otherwise I'd leave it open. Let them help themselves, at least no damage. You can't believe that thieves go to the mountains too.

Nice and easy outing for families and a quick dash to the hills after work. The playground in front of the hut is real fun for children.
However, I also attach criticism of the caretakers running Dom na Kisovcu. Smoky interior, shamefully staggering completely drunk staff (at 17:30 on an April Saturday), slow service and high prices; as if they need to deliver food and drink up there by helicopter. We didn't get a receipt upon payment. The hut staff's attitude is the exact opposite of what a mountain hut should represent in the mountains.
