Planina Ravne - Chapel on Molička planina (via Dolga trata)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving towards Stahovica and the pass Črnivec. A few hundred meters before the pass Črnivec we leave the main road which leads towards Gornji Grad and continue driving sharply left in the direction of the pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak). From the mentioned pass we continue straight (left road which leads to Velika planina, right Štajerski Rak) and start descending towards Luče. Further down, the road flattens somewhat and brings us into the valley Podvolovljek. Further on, we first drive past the turn-off of the road which leads into the valley Lučka Bela, then also past the bar pri Gamsu. After the bar, we need to pay attention, because only a few hundred meters further the road which leads towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off to the left (by the spot where we leave the main road, there is a road sign approximately 11 km). Further, we drive on the initially still asphalt road, which then ascends towards the plateau Dleskovška planota. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road, which a little further brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podvežak). Further on a somewhat rougher road, which we then follow to the beginning of the mountain pasture Ravne, where we park in an appropriate place by the road.
From the main road to the mountain pasture Ravne is approximately 10 km.
B) First, we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. When by the road we notice the road sign which shows 10.5 km, we need to pay attention to the right turn-off, because only a little further to the right the road towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off. Further, we drive on the initially still asphalt road, which then ascends towards the plateau Dleskovška planota. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road, which a little further brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podvežak). Further on a somewhat rougher road, which we then follow to the beginning of the mountain pasture Ravne, where we park in an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
At the beginning of the mountain pasture Ravne (also Ravni) we notice wooden mountain signposts for Veliki vrh, Korošica, Molička planina and Dolga trata, which point us to the left towards the nearby cottage, which is situated on the edge of the mountain pasture. We bypass the cottage on the left side, and then we pass into a narrow strip of forest, where blazes lead left. The path ahead leads us through the clearing, through which it ascends diagonally into the forest. Further, we ascend through the forest, where we soon cross a grazing fence. Higher, the forest starts to thin out, or changes into a strip of dwarf pines. On some spots somewhat less trodden, but always nicely followable, the path higher flattens and brings us to the lower edge of the pastures Dolge trate. Here the path entirely flattens and in a few dozen steps of further walking brings us to the shepherd hut on Dolge trate.
From the shepherd hut, we continue left in the direction of Molička planina, Korošica, Veliki vrh and Zelene trate (slightly right Dleskovec). The path ahead leads us across the pastures Dolge trate and ascends gently to moderately. Higher, the path flattens and brings us to a smaller saddle, after which the path leads us past a watering place for animals. We bypass the watering place on the left side, and the path only a few meters further brings us to a smaller junction, where we continue slightly right in the direction of Veliki vrh and Korošica (straight downhill Korošica over Vrtače). Further, the path passes onto the panoramic western slopes of Dleskovec, across which it starts to descend diagonally towards the junction on Zelene trate. After a short descent we arrive at the mentioned junction, from there we continue left in the direction of Korošica (right mountain pasture Ravne over Korita). Only a little further we arrive at the place where the path to Veliki vrh branches off to the right.
We continue straight in the direction of Korošica and Molička planina along the path which occasionally descends slightly and rises again. The path ahead circles the slopes of Veliki vrh and brings us to a junction, where the path to the mentioned peak branches off to the right upwards. Here we continue straight along the path which only a little further brings us to the saddle Prag, where there is the next junction. We continue straight (sharply left mountain pasture Podvežak) along the marked mountain path, which gradually starts to descend. After a good 10 minutes of descent, the path flattens and brings us to a smaller marsh, after which we reach the next junction. We continue straight (slightly left Korošica, right Robanov kot) along the pleasant mountain path, along which in a few minutes of further walking we arrive at Kocbekovo zavetišče below Ojstrica. The chapel on Molička planina (peč) is located only a few meters above the mentioned shelter.
