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 levels out higher up and then takes us to the Volovjek pass, where immediately behind the Kranjski Rak inn we turn left onto the road towards 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 Planina Kisovec) and follow the moderately ascending road past the Ušivec parking lot. From the mentioned parking lot, we continue along a somewhat worse macadam road, which we follow at the crossroads in the direction of Planina Dol. After a while, the road begins to descend steeply, and we follow it to the marked parking lot near Planina Dol.
From the Savinjska dolina valley, we first drive to Luče, and then continue driving towards Kamnik. When we reach the Volovjek pass (Kranjski Rak), we continue right in the direction of Velika planina. Then we follow the above description.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which barely noticeably descends towards 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 and Velika planina. Here we continue left (right Konj) and after a short gentle ascent we arrive at the shepherd huts on Planina Dol.
From the shepherd huts on the mountain pasture, we ascend past a cross to the edge of the forest, then continue the ascent on the path which ascends through the forest. Higher up, the forest becomes thinner and the path brings us, after approximately 30 minutes of ascent from Planina Dol, to Planina Konjščica, from which a view opens towards the nearby Rzenik.
