Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Luče, then we continue driving into the Podvolovjek valley (direction Kamnik and Kranjski Rak). At the road marker between 11 and 11.5 km, we will reach a smaller intersection, where the road towards the Planinšek farm 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 Podvežak mountain pasture. After a relatively long and in the upper part also worse macadam road, we will arrive at the parking lot below the Podvežak mountain pasture (at the starting point there is a gate and numerous hiking signposts).
From Kamnik we drive towards the Črnivec pass, 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 behind the Gams bar, we will come to an intersection where the road towards the Planinšek farm and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the left (the turn-off is marked). Further, follow the above description.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath (or road) in the direction of the Podvežak mountain pasture. Both the road and the footpath, which during the ascent crosses a forest road, bring us in 15 minutes of moderate ascent to the shepherd's hut on the Podvežak mountain pasture, 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 unwooded 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 Vodole mountain pasture joins from the right; we continue left, cross the grazing fence and after a few more steps arrive at the Inkretov studenec, which is located just a few meters from the path.
This is followed by only a gentle 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 right in the direction of the chapel on Molička peč (slightly left Korošica). The path ahead descends slightly, then continues in a moderate ascent across a series of several smaller valleys. Soon we reach a smaller junction where to the left a path branches off that returns to the marked path towards Korošica, and to the right a path towards the Ravne mountain pasture and Dolga Trata. We continue straight on the wide and pleasant path, which after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the Prag saddle, where the next junction is.
We continue sharply right in the direction of the Ravne mountain pasture and Veliki vrh (straight Molička planina) on the path that crosses the slopes of Veliki vrh towards the southeast. After a few minutes of further walking, we will notice by the path a small wooden sign with the inscription Veliki vrh, which directs us left onto a somewhat poorly visible track that ascends through a belt of dwarf pines. Higher up, the track becomes somewhat more distinct and gradually begins to ascend more and more steeply. The quite steep path, alongside which numerous cairns aid our orientation, starts to fade higher up. Further, we follow the poorly visible track, which from the steep partly rocky section transitions into gentler grassy slopes. The poorly visible track, which slowly turns to the right, brings us after a few minutes of further walking to Veliki vrh, where we notice a large cairn.
From Veliki vrh we continue left (direction north to northwest) on the poorly visible track, which moderately descends to the col between Veliki vrh and Velika Zelenica. At the col, the path from the Ravne mountain pasture also joins from the right; we continue in the same direction and continue the ascent across the gentle grassy slope, after which in a few minutes of further walking we ascend to the panoramic summit.
