When we get to Rožično we go right, and then we drive for some time through the settlement Sela pri Kamniku, where at the crossroads we follow the main road. After the village Znojile the road flattens for some time, then from the settlement Trobelno we follow the signs for Bela Peč. There follows transverse driving towards the right, and then we get to two successive crossroads, where a road towards Bela Peč branches off to the right. In both crossroads we continue left, and after the left hairpin turn we quickly get to a crossroad, where the forest road branches off to the right. We park at an appropriate place by the crossroad.

After Sovinja Peč we join the road from the Tuhinjska Valley, and we follow it to the left. There follows transverse driving towards the right, and then we get to two successive crossroads, where a road towards Bela Peč branches off to the right. In both crossroads we continue left, and after the left hairpin turn we quickly get to a crossroad, where the forest road branches off to the right. We park at an appropriate place by the crossroad.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue right on a side road which is closed to public traffic. We soon get to a smaller crossroad, where we continue straight (left road ends on slopes of the mountain pasture Tomanova planina), and then the path brings us by the upper edge of the nearby pasture, from where a beautiful view opens up towards hills above the Tuhinjska Valley. Behind the pasture, we continue on the left upper road, and then at the smaller crossroad straight. A little further, the forest ends and we get to the upper edge of a larger panoramic hay meadow, from which a view opens up on the surrounding hills.
A few steps before we step on the mentioned slope, a cart track continues straight ahead, on which we will continue too (further on the road Ovčje jame). After a short ascent, we get to a junction of several cart tracks, and we continue slightly left, on a cart track which continues ascending. Further on there follow quite a few junctions, and we intuitively choose those branches where the path ascends most steeply. Behind the last junction on the mentioned section, there follows a short descent, and then we bypass the nearby sinkhole, behind which we ascend to the saddle between Podbevška peč and Seduc.
On the mentioned saddle, where there is also a cross with a logbook, we reach a marked path which leads from the pass Črnivec towards Menina planina, and we follow it to the right. A little further, we step on another cart track, from which we occasionally get a bit of a view towards the north. The cart track narrows a little further into a wide path, which soon joins the next cart track, on which we quickly get to a pasture fence, behind which we step onto the pasture areas of the nearby mountain pasture. The path ahead continues with some shorter ascents and descents and brings us through pastures and through the forest to the eastern edge of Planina Ravni, where there stands a shepherd's hut.
From Planina Ravni we continue in the direction of Dom na Menini planini and Planina Travnik. The path ahead slightly ascends and quickly enters the forest, through which it then continues for some time. Somewhat further, we join a wide cart track, on which we soon emerge from the forest. When we come out of the forest, we step onto the western part of Planina Travnik, across which we then walk to the shepherd's hut on the other side of the mountain pasture. A poorly visible path leads us there, crossing the mountain pasture.
From the hut we continue past the nearby cross and bell, behind which the marked path turns right. There follows a pleasant walk on the path, which first gently, then moderately ascends across vast pastures. Higher up the path enters the forest, where it gradually begins to descend. The path soon starts ascending again and brings us to a macadam road, which we follow to the right. We walk for a few minutes on the said road, then the markings direct us right onto a footpath which moderately ascends through dense forest. Higher up we cross the road once again and the path gradually brings us to the pastures of Menina planina. With some shorter ascents and descents we continue on the pleasant path, to which after a somewhat longer descent the path from Gornji Grad (path past Jespa) joins.
We continue right in the direction of Dom na Menini planini, on the path which crosses a strip of forest, then brings us to the parking lot near the already mentioned mountain hut. From the parking lot we continue across the meadow and the path, from which a nice view opens up on the chain of Kamniško-Savinjske Alps, quickly brings us to Dom na Menini planini.
From the hut we continue on the marked path in the direction of Vivodnik. After some 10 steps of easy walking, the path steeply ascends for a short time, then flattens and brings us to a larger grassy slope, where we encounter a direction sign with the inscription "Vivodnik - krožna pot". We continue slightly left (we can return on the right path) on a relatively gentle path, which quickly brings us into a short strip of forest. Here the path ascends again for a short time, then brings us out of the forest, where we already see the lookout tower on Vivodnik ahead of us, which we reach after a few more steps.
