Planina Dol - Konj

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, and then continue driving in the direction of the Črnivec pass. Just a few hundred meters before the mentioned pass, we notice signs for Kranjski Rak, which direct us sharply left onto a narrow and initially quite steep road. The road flattens higher up and then brings us to the Volovjek pass, where immediately behind the Kranjski Rak inn we turn left onto the road toward Velika planina. Further on, we drive along a macadam road, which higher up brings us to the next somewhat larger crossroads. We continue right (straight to Planina Kisovec) and follow the moderately ascending road past the Ušivec parking lot. From the mentioned parking lot, we continue on a somewhat poorer macadam road, which we follow at the crossroads in the direction of Planina Dol. After some time, the road starts to descend steeply, and we follow it to the marked parking lot near Planina Dol.
From the Savinjska Valley, we first drive to Luče, and then continue driving toward Kamnik. When we arrive at the Volovjek pass (Kranjski Rak), we continue right in the direction of Velika planina. Further, we follow the above description.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the macadam road, which barely noticeably descends toward the western part of the mountain pasture. After a few minutes of easy walking, we will notice a shepherd hut on the left side, but we continue on the macadam road for another 10 meters or so, to the spot where on a tree we notice signs for Konj, which direct us right across the meadow (left Velika planina, straight valley Kamniška Bistrica - bottom cableway station to Velika planina). The path ahead moderately ascends across the meadow, then transitions into the forest, where it turns right and gradually starts to ascend more and more steeply. Approximately 20 minutes of steep ascent through the forest follow, then the path brings us to a smaller viewpoint. Here the path turns left and also flattens somewhat. We continue on a moderately steep path, where from increasingly sparse forest we soon pass into the belt of dwarf pines. A short ascent follows on a well-trodden path through the dwarf pines, and the path brings us to Planina Rzenik, on the edge of which we notice a shepherd hut.
From the hut, we continue on the marked path toward Konj (slightly left Rzenik via the western path, the path to Rzenik is not marked), which quickly brings us among the dwarf pines. We continue the ascent on a moderately steep path, which continues to lead us through the dwarf pines. Higher up, the path brings us right beside the main ridge, where the path turns right and continues ascending through the dwarf pines. Only a few more steps remain, and the increasingly scenic path quickly brings us to the summit of Konj.
The logbook box is located somewhat lower, specifically in the direction toward Presedljaj. A short steep descent on a secured climbing path separates us from it.
