Hotel Plesnik - Logarska peč (via Plesnikova planina)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Logarska dolina (entrance fee for a personal car 7 eur (July 2016)), then we drive to the crossroad where signs for Hotel Plesnik point us slightly to the left (slightly right waterfall Rinka). From the crossroad, we drive a few hundred meters more and then we park on the parking lot near the hotel.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a narrower asphalt road which past the tree Plesnik elm in a few minutes brings us to the farm house Ojstrica, where we continue left in the direction of the mountain pasture Plesnikova planina, Strelovec and mountain hut Koča na Klemenči jami (path through Plesnikova planina). A little further, we get to Tourist Farm Plesnik, and a little further also to the end of the public road at business building, where red signposts point us to the right on a cart track, on which with nice views, we ascend to the forest. At the nearby crossing of cart tracks we continue left and then we follow the blazes, which on quite an overgrown path take us to a wider macadam road. On the road, we walk to a right turn, there we look for further marked path. The marked path, which is recently quite overgrown, a little higher returns to the road, and on the road we walk to a crossroad, where we continue right. Some 10 strides after the crossroad blazes lead left, on a shorter ladder, behind it we step on an overgrown path. Higher, we a few times cross a further rough road, and the path on which we walk is on some clearings entirely overgrown and among bushes hard to follow. Higher a few times a nice view opens up on peaks above the Logarska dolina valley, and we cross a few more cart tracks, and then past a trough with water we step out of the forest on the bottom part of the mountain pasture Plesnikova planina. When we step out of the forest, a short ascent follows and we get to the cottage Plesnikov stan on Plesnikova planina.
From the mountain pasture Plesnikova planina we continue left in the direction of Strelovec (right mountain hut Koča na Klemenči jami), where the path at first leads on the eastern part of the mountain pasture, where by the entrance into the forest, we notice a footpath which diagonally continues through the forest. When we are in the forest, we cross a gently sloping cart track, and then follows a few steps long descent to a more distinct cart track which we only cross, but the continuation of the footpath is a little harder to find. Soon after we leave the cart track a little overgrown path leads through a smaller gully, after that for some time crosses slopes towards the north, and then the path starts turning right and is getting closer to the second gully. A descent into the mentioned gully is quite dangerous, because slippery path leads on a slightly exposed slope relatively steeply downwards. On the other side, we leave the gully without problems, and after a shorter ascent, we reach the next cart track. On the cart track, we are for a short time ascending, and then blazes point us slightly to the left on a marked footpath which starts getting closer to the next torrent gully. A descent into the mentioned gully is easy, we reach it right on some sort of "confluence". The path continues by the left gully, and the ascent from there is a little awkward, because footpath steeply ascends from it, and then it quickly flattens and it turns left, where in a few minutes we reach a marked crossing, where we join the path over Rkljeva peč.
We continue right in the direction of Strelovec on at first moderately steep path, which soon becomes much steeper and for a few minutes quite steeply ascending. The footpath quickly flattens, and then in a moderate ascent brings us to the cottage Icmanikov stan, after which we step on a cart track. On the cart track or parallel mountain path in five minutes we ascend to a saddle and a crossing on the mountain pasture Icmanikova planina, over which leads a relatively new forest road and from which a nice view opens up.
From the crossing, we continue left, where after a few 10 strides of walking through the mountain pasture we step into the forest, where we see nicely beaten footpath. On the mentioned footpath we quickly ascend on a ridge, from where we carefully descend to exposed vantage point Logarska peč.
