Access to the starting point:
a) First, drive to Kamnik, then continue driving towards the Črnivec Pass. Just 100 m before the pass, we see signs for Kranjski Rak, which direct us sharp left onto a narrow and initially quite steep road. The road is higher and then leads to the Volovljek Pass, from where we start descending towards Podvolovljek. After crossing Petkov graben, you will see the 8. km road sign on the right and a suitable parking space on the left side of the road.
b) From Gornji Grad, drive towards Kamnik, and then a few 100 m after the Črnivec Pass, continue right in the direction of Kranjski Rak. Continue as described above.
c) From the Savinjska valley, first drive to Luce, then continue towards Kamnik. When the road starts to climb steeply towards the Volovljek Pass, pay attention to the road signs. When you reach the 8 km road marker, park in a suitable place along the road.
Path description:
At the 8 km marker, a forest road branches off the main road to the east and we start our journey. First, we cross the road that leads us up the slope of Ker Hill (895 m). At the part where the road makes a long right turn, we get a transient view towards Raduha, Maly Rogatec and Kunšperski vrh. At a few crossroads we continue along the "main" road, which increasingly offers beautiful views of the peaks of the Dleskovská plateau. Higher up, at the junction of two more "equal" roads, continue to the left, and from this junction walk along the road to a small pass between Mali Rogatec on the left and Kunšperski vrh on the right.
Leave the road at the pass and continue left along the trackless road. From the point where you leave the road, stick to the ridge or climb slightly to the left of it. Higher up, the path climbs very steeply and, after a short jump, quickly leads to a lesser-known summit.
The journey is about 10 minutes.
