Za Ušivcem - Domžalski dom na Mali planini

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we 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 also quite steep road. The road levels out higher up and then brings us to the Volovjek pass, where immediately behind the Kranjski Rak inn we turn left onto the road in the direction of Velika planina. Further on, we drive along a macadam road, which higher up brings us to the next somewhat larger intersection. We continue right (straight Planina Kisovec) and follow the moderately ascending road to the larger and marked parking lot Za Ušivcem.
B) From Savinjska dolina, we first drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. When we reach the Volovjek pass (Kranjski Rak), we continue right in the direction of Velika planina. Further, we follow the above description.

Route description:
By the parking lot we notice signs for Mala and Velika planina, which point us into the forest, on a well-beaten but unmarked footpath. The path first ascends through the forest, then flattens and brings us out of the forest onto grassy slopes, where it turns slightly to the left and joins the forest road. We walk along the road only briefly, then we arrive at the next signposts.
Here a slightly right-branching unmarked path leads to Velika planina, but we continue straight along the marked path in the direction of Mala and Velika planina. The path further still leads along the road, which past the hunting observation post brings us to the next marked junction, where a narrower road branches off to the right towards Dovja ravan. We continue straight along the road in the direction of Mala planina, which with fine views brings us to Gojška planina, from where we continue right in the direction of Jarški dom, Črnuški dom, and Domžalski dom. After one hour and fifteen minutes of walking from the starting point, we arrive at Jarški dom na Mali planini.
We bypass the mentioned hut on the left side, then continue the ascent along a wide path that gently ascends through sparse forest. Already after a few minutes, the path to Črnuški dom branches off to the left, but we continue straight and follow the wide path all the way to Domžalski dom na Mali planini.

Along the route: Gojška planina (1475m), Jarški dom na Mali planini mountain hut (1520m)
