Markova raven - Planina Koren (marked way)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. Just a few dozen meters before the bottom station of the cable car, a forest road branches off to the left downwards into the valley of Korošica. The road then crosses a bridge and soon after that comes to a junction, where we continue straight. The road then again brings us to a junction. Ahead we have two options: 1. We turn left over the bridge and ascend the road upwards. We follow this road to a smaller parking lot at Markova raven. We recognize Markova raven by the fact that by the road there is a smaller parking lot, a torrent, and a wide cart track which goes left upwards, while the road starts steeply descending. 2. We continue straight and ascend the road, which brings us to the next junction. We continue on the left road, which becomes very steep, and follow it to the parking lot at the left turn from which a wide cart track branches off straight. We park at the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a wide cart track which after a few dozen meters brings us to the next parking lot. Across the parking lot we continue straight and further ascend the cart track which turns left. After a few minutes of walking, the cart track has a fork where we take the right marked cart track. We follow it for a few minutes to the spot where a footpath branches off to the right towards Krvavec and Planina Koren. The turn-off is not specifically marked, so we must carefully follow the blazes. The path ahead ascends on the right side of the torrent quite steeply upwards. The path then brings us to a fork where we continue right in the direction of ZA VRATA. The path ahead slowly passes into less dense forest so that occasionally we cross a smaller meadow or even a short scree slope. The views also become increasingly beautiful. Further the path brings us below the foot of a shorter wall from which a right upwards unmarked path branches off to Planina Koren. We continue on the left side of the wall slightly upwards. The path ahead slightly descends and brings us to a pleasant spring. The path ahead passes to the left side of the spring and starts ascending again. The path ahead crosses a shorter strip of dwarf pines, then starts ascending over grass. Further ahead the path is harder to follow as it quickly gets lost among the grass but the rarer blazes will help us. After 20 minutes of ascent from the spring the path brings us to a wooden hut. The path behind the hut turns left into the forest and after a short ascent joins the path from Kriška planina (Krvavec). We continue sharply right and without greater ascent or descent cross a strip of forest. Further the path starts ascending slopes which are overgrown with dwarf pines and some trees. After 20 minutes of ascent the steepness eases and ahead of us we see the shepherd hut on Planina Koren. The path then descends past the watering place for animals to the shepherd hut on the planina.
