Hotel Šimnovec - Chapel of Marija Snežna (Velika planina)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. We park on a large parking lot at the bottom station of the cable car to Velika planina. Further, we take the cable car to the upper station, which is the starting point for our tour.

Route description:
When we step out of the cable car, the path brings us to Hotel Šimnovec after a few dozen steps, in front of which we notice numerous hiking signposts. We continue on the transport-rescue road in the direction of Zeleni rob. The road on which we walk first ascends gently, then moderately along and beside the ski track. After approximately 30 minutes of walking, the path brings us to the inn Zeleni rob.
From Zeleni rob we continue on a worse macadam road, which we follow only to the spot where a marked path branches off to the right towards the Domžalski dom and the chapel of Marija Snežna. We continue on a pleasant footpath, which descends diagonally towards the southeast. After a few minutes of additional walking, we will notice a wooden chapel on the left side, to which we first slightly descend, then ascend on pleasant grassy terrain.
In fog the orientation is very difficult, so we will have trouble finding the chapel.

Along the route: Gostišče Zeleni Rob (1612m)

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Gradišče (Velika planina)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
