Path description:
From the pass Črnivec we head onto the macadam road in the direction of the Dom na Menini planini. The road first bypasses the guesthouse Črnivec, then begins to ascend gently over the slope that was affected by a storm with strong winds on 13.7.2008. After a few minutes of walking the road flattens out completely and brings us to a small valley where we arrive at a well-marked junction. We continue straight on the left road in the direction of the tourist farm Toman, and the road leads us past a few smaller wooden houses. At the last house the road splits again, and this time we continue on the upper right one (left downhill to the Toman farm), which is also indicated by the signs for Menina planina. The road, which begins to ascend more steeply, transitions into a dense forest, and after a few minutes we pay attention because the blazes will direct us slightly right onto a marked footpath that ascends parallel to the road. Soon we return to the road or wide cart track, which leads us over a short panoramic slope. A little higher we arrive at a junction of cart tracks, where we continue straight on the relatively steep cart track path. The cart track quickly flattens and then even begins to descend slightly. When after a short descent we arrive at a smaller left bend, we will notice blazes that direct us onto a parallel footpath ascending through the dense forest. We continue on the mentioned path, along which in a few dozen steps we arrive at a cross with a logbook.
From the cross we continue for some time on the overgrown path, then step onto a cart track that we follow to the right. The cart track or wide path then gradually brings us to a pasture fence, behind which we step onto the pasture areas of the nearby planina. The path continues ahead with some shorter ascents and descents and brings us through pastures and through the forest to the eastern edge of the planina Ravni, where a shepherd's hut stands.
From the planina Ravni we continue in the direction of the Dom na Menini planini and planina Travnik. The path ahead rises slightly and quickly enters the forest, through which it then continues for some time. A little further we join a wide cart track, along which we soon emerge from the forest. When we emerge from the forest, we step onto the western part of the planina Travnik, across which we then walk to the shepherd's hut on the other side of the planina. A poorly visible little path leads us there, crossing the planina.
From the hut we continue past the nearby cross and bell, behind which the marked path turns right. A pleasant walk follows on the path, which first ascends gently, then moderately over expansive pastures. Higher the path enters the forest, where it gradually begins to descend. The path soon begins to ascend again and brings us to a macadam road that we follow to the right. We walk a few minutes on the mentioned road, then the blazes direct us right onto a footpath that ascends moderately through the dense forest. Higher we cross the road once again, which 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 Jespe) also joins.
We continue right in the direction of the Dom na Menini planini, on the path that 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 onto the chain of Kamniško Savinjskih Alps, quickly brings us to the Dom na Menini planini.
