Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Luče, then continue driving into the Podvolovjek valley (direction Kamnik and Kranjski Rak). At the road marker between 11 and 11.5 km, we will arrive at a smaller intersection, where the road towards the farm Planinšek and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the right (the turn-off is marked). We head onto this initially still asphalted road, which we follow at the intersections in the direction of the mountain pasture Podvežak. After a relatively long and in the upper part also poorer macadam road, we will reach the parking lot below the mountain pasture Podvežak (at the starting point there is a barrier and numerous mountain signposts).
From Kamnik we drive towards the mountain pass Črnivec, but only to the intersection where the road towards Kranjski Rak branches off sharply to the left (the turn-off is marked and is located only 500 m before the mentioned pass). At the intersection at Kranjski Rak we continue straight on the main road, which starts descending into the Podvolovjek valley. In the mentioned valley, only 100 m past the Gams bar, we will come to an intersection, where the road towards the farm Planinšek and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the left (the turn-off is marked). Further, follow the above description.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath (or road) in the direction of the mountain pasture Podvežak. Both the road and the footpath, which during the ascent crosses the forest road, bring us in 15 minutes of moderate ascent to the shepherd's hut on the mountain pasture Podvežak, from which a beautiful view opens towards Rogatec and Lepenatka.
From the mountain pasture, we continue on the marked but initially poorly visible path, which soon enters the forest. The path through the forest ascends somewhat more steeply, then transitions into a smaller unvegetated valley, above which it completely flattens. This is followed by a few minutes of crossing the slopes below the side ridge of Deska, then the path brings us to a less noticeable junction, where an unmarked path branches off to the left towards Deska and Vodotočno jezero. We continue straight on the marked path, which descends into a pleasant grassy plain, then turns somewhat to the right and ascends through a belt of dwarf pines. At the top of the ascent, the path from the mountain pasture Vodole joins from the right; we continue left, cross the grazing fence, and after a few more steps we reach Inkretov studenec, which is located just a few meters from the path.
This is followed only by a slight ascent, then the path flattens again and brings us below the relatively steep and in snow avalanche-prone slopes of Tolsti vrh. A little further, the pleasant path brings us to a marked junction, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Korošica (slightly right: chapel on Molička peč (mountain pasture)). The path ahead crosses the slopes below Tolsti vrh for some time longer, then transitions onto the plateau-like terrain of Dleskovška planota, which is riddled with numerous abysses and pits. The path, continuing with some shorter ascents and descents, then quickly brings us to a junction, where the path from Robanov kot and mountain pasture Ravne joins from the right side.
We continue in the direction of Korošica on the path which ascends across to the saddle between the less known Koroški vrh on the left and Mala Ojstrica on the right. We continue straight downhill (left Prag, right Ojstrica via Mala Ojstrica) on the marked path, which starts descending towards Korošica. After a few minutes of descent, we step onto the expansive grassy slopes of Korošica, along which we then walk in a few minutes to the mountain hut.

My opinion is that the path is too long for a five-year-old. Primož A., what do you think?

otiv19. 05. 2014
It holds that it's a good two hours of walking too much for a child. But you can shorten the path, as there are plenty of opportunities to sit along the path.
megalodon19. 05. 2014
I don't want to be smart mežikanje but it's impossible to give a useful opinion because we don't know how much your five-year-old walks otherwise. Ours at not quite four made it from Pokljuka to Debelo peč (more elevation and about the same walking time), but we hike a lot. On the other hand, many a 10-year-old can hardly "climb" Šmarno zavijanje z očmi. Believe me, I work in a school. nasmeh To sum up, a "seasoned" five-year-old won't have trouble, otherwise better gradually.
mukica20. 05. 2014
If the five-year-old is somewhat used to hiking there shouldn't be any problems with this path, no strenuous or difficult sections (not much elevation gain either)...it's very nicely laid out and in summer you can see a lot...flowers and animals, I recommend also a loop to the church at Moliška pečnasmeh
nacka.20. 05. 2014
Otiv and Balon,

good two hours of walking one way - then you have to go back and overcome some elevation gain again right above the mountain hut.

My grandson is also a five-year-old, quite well-hiked, but I would wait at least another year with this path so that the mountains don't completely resent him.

Nice regards and enjoy hiking in these beautiful days. Some of us still have to work a few more years, then we'll join you!

Two years ago I went on this path with my granddaughters, aged 3 and 4.5 years. The path is completely suitable, just no time limits - we walked 7 hours nasmeh, stayed overnight at Korošica and returned the next day past Vodotočni jezero over Tolsti vrh. Hostess Mojca also took good care of them.
They were thrilled with the trip, so they are already looking forward to summer and a new outing.

Thank you very much for the detailed answers and alpine greetings. HOORAY.

On Sunday I plan to do a circular tour from Podvežak to Kocbekov dom, but I saw somewhere that the road to Podvežak is closed due to asphalt paving. Does anyone know about this? Thanks.
rozka12. 06. 2015
The road is closed until 15.06.2015mežikanje, but there is an alternative via Lučko Belomežikanje
francimedved12. 06. 2015
Thanks, this alternative will be good too.
GričarA12. 06. 2015
Does anyone perhaps know up to where they will asphalt to Mlinar?
irja13. 06. 2015
We were there on Sunday and we managed to drive normally to Podvežak.nasmeh
francimedved22. 06. 2015
Yesterday I drove on the new asphalt, excellent. It's asphalted to Planinšek and another few hundred meters further. No problem with drivability now, they're just reinforcing the verges.
ločanka25. 10. 2015
Currently the junction to Podvolovjek below the Črnivec pass is closed. Apparently due to road collapse.
Barentoter5. 11. 2015
After many years I'm tempted again to upgrade my SPP logbook a bit with stamps, so I'm wondering where the Kocbekov dom stamp is located when the hut is closed?
lauratr28. 12. 2015
You get the stamp in the winter room. You have to go up the ladder. But it's open. I was there yesterday.
sasgittariusvz24. 08. 2016
Hello, what is the condition of the road to Planina Podvežak?
Sini24. 08. 2016
The road is maintained, a large part is asphalted. The last part where there is no asphalt needs to be taken more slowly.
Pelca27. 08. 2016
Nice trail, easy access to start. Disappointed with the hut above. Exorbitant prices and poor service. If returning same way, better stop at Planina Podvežak where they serve you better and much cheaper. True, hut supplied by helicopter, but it's PZS helicopter, no reason for such prices.
garmont28. 08. 2016
PZS has no helicopter.zavijanje z očmi
Cargo transport with it for hut needs is quite expensive for the manager, that's why...
jana196628. 08. 2016
I also got the idea for the trip through the road question... but I rounded it off at Molička planina from the start, where prices are acceptable and staff, Korošica as usual. Planina Podvežak commendable, as well as the beautiful Saturday, road ok cool
jerni4. 10. 2016
Hello, I'm wondering if the hut on Korošica is still open?
lepenatka4. 10. 2016
Yes, but they close this weekend.
Info from today.
gula20. 07. 2017
Info for 16 July 2017
-Road newly asphalted up to the intersection above the Planinšek farm.
-Gravel road further to parking lot is wide and trodden.
-Shepherd's hut on Planina Podvežak was open (weekend?).
-Path to Kocbekov dom on Korošica is extremely beautiful, suitable also for older children. Inkretov spring had no water.
-At the hut everyone super friendly-beer 3.20 EUR

Has anyone hiked this trail in the last few days? Dry? Can you drive to Planina Podvežak by car?
Janez110. 07. 2018
Does anyone have information on how it is now with the SPP stamp at Korošica. Are the logbook and stamp perhaps somewhere near this really unfortunate fire site? Thanks!
aditaker14. 08. 2018
I'm also wondering where the SPP stamp is now that there's no hut anymore?
Lisica14. 08. 2018
If you look at the PZS page and search for Kocbekov dom it says this:

Kocbekov dom na Korošici is not operating indefinitely due to fire. It is also not possible to use the winter room. Nearest mountain hut is Kamniška koča na Kamniškem sedlu (3 h - via Srebrno sedlo).

SPP stamp is located at ORLOVO GNEZDO near Rinka waterfall. mežikanje

Is the replacement hut already closed... and where do you get the SPP stamp now.... thanks..velik nasmehvelik nasmehvelik nasmeh
Janez Seliškar30. 09. 2019
It says 1 cm higher.
sh30. 09. 2019
The stamp is mounted on the living container near the burned-down hut and is therefore always accessible. Unfortunately the containers are locked.
crnistane1. 10. 2019
Janez Seliškar....post from 2018, after that a replacement hut was built where they also had the SPP stamp......thanks sh...nasmehnasmehnasmeh
zvezdica_zaspanka27. 10. 2019
I was there today, the road is more than super for gravel standards, only no one will convince me that it's only 403 meters of elevation nasmeh What someone wrote, that there are about 600m ascent and 300m descent to get there (so 600m up there and another 300 back) is more accurate!
I was aiming for Dedec too, but missed a junction on the way and then ran out of time because of that - I would appreciate some additional sign, say above Vodotočno jezero (where you go right) and further where two roads branch off seemingly in the same direction towards Kocbekov dom, then the left one turns into the valley.

Otherwise a very nice varied trip and it's a shame that only the skeleton remains of the old hut :/

zvezdica_zaspanka27. 10. 2019
Hmhm, now looking at the pictures again, it seems to me that I took a completely different path anyway zmedenvelik nasmeh
dleskovec28. 10. 2019
"poor little star"; don't hike alone on unknown paths, especially not now, when the beautiful Dleskovška plateau is surrounded by the golden larch needles. Come back to these beautiful mountains sometime and may your step and eye serve you well!
zvezdica_zaspanka28. 10. 2019
I'll definitely come back, dleskovec! Whether there are signs or not, paths known or unknown. Thanks for the good wishes - same to you!
morje31. 08. 2020
I'm interested in how long the gravel road is and what condition it's in. Could I go with a lower car, e.g. Corso?
geppo31. 08. 2020
The road is about 6 km asphalt and about the same gravel. The road is usually in such solid condition that you can nicely drive up to Podvežak as well as Planina Ravne with Opel/Corso at slow speed.
regards
lubadar31. 08. 2020
Was there on Friday 28.08.2020, the road was in solid condition also for lower vehicles.
morje1. 09. 2020
Thanks, regards
dk3313. 06. 2021 11:46:32
Hello,

Trail hiked today from Podvežak towards Mali Ojstrica and via Velika Ojstrica. There's still quite a lot of snow (southern and wet) in certain sections and proper caution is needed, especially the last scree section (before spotting Kocbek).

For family outings with small children, it's better to wait a bit longer.

Safe travels
balon18. 09. 2023 13:31:45
Hello,


how is the access to the starting point after the floods?

Thank you for the answers.
zokipoki19. 09. 2023 08:09:01
The road from where the asphalt ends is worse, but slowly passable.
balon19. 09. 2023 11:03:16
zoki thanks.
naznaznaz6. 02. 2024 10:29:11
Is the road to the starting point drivable? If yes, what's its condition (ice, snow, damaged,..)
Klinar276. 02. 2024 20:44:00
On 31.1. it was clear to the Planinšek farm. I myself got to Podvežak, with 4x4 drive, without it I wouldn't have tried (20cm snow on the road) velik nasmeh.

Hello! In the near future, I will go to Korošica from Podvežak for the first time. What is the road to the parking lot like? Thanks for the answers nasmeh
docepe213. 09. 2024 08:04:02
Up to the last farm there is asphalt, then 3 km of washed-out macadam. It goes slowly with any car.
