Hruševka - Planina Ravni

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving through Tuhinjska Valley. Further we drive through the settlements Vrhpolje, Soteska, Srednja vas, Loke and Potok. At the village Potok, a road branches off to the left towards the Terme Snovik spa, and we follow the main road only a few 100 m or to the spot where signs for Hruševka point us to the left onto a narrower local road. On the mentioned road, we ascend to some sort of center of the village, where signs for the footpath to St. Miklavž point us to the right downwards. Here the road at first descends a little and then starts gently ascending along the Podbreški Potok stream. After a short ascent, we come to the "last" house in the village, and we park a few 10 m before, on an appropriate place by the road.
B) From the highway Maribor - Ljubljana we take the exit Vransko, and then we continue driving on the parallel old road towards Ljubljana. At the end of Vransko, we come to an intersection, where we turn right towards Tuhinjska Valley. Further we drive through the settlements Motnik, Špitalič, Cirkuše, Laze, Šmartno and Buč. After the village Buč, signs for Hruševka point us to the right onto a narrower local road. On the mentioned road, we ascend to some sort of center of the village, where signs for the footpath to St. Miklavž point us to the right downwards. Here the road at first descends a little and then starts gently ascending along the Podbreški Potok stream. After a short ascent, we come to the "last" house in the village, and we park a few 10 m before, on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue sharply right in the direction of the footpath to St. Miklavž. The path first ascends through a strip of forest, then brings us along the edge of pastures, from where a nice view opens up on the surroundings. Initially somewhat more overgrown path temporarily returns into the forest, then leads past a log cabin, behind which we cross a lane of bushes. After the bushes, the path widens into a cart track, which turns sharply to the left and brings us into a dense forest. For a short time we still walk on the cart track, then blazes direct us to the right onto an increasingly steep footpath. This quite steep path, which ascends through the forest the whole time, we then follow all the way to the church of St. Miklavž on Gora, from which a beautiful view opens up.
From the church of St. Miklavž we continue on a macadam road in the direction of Prevala. The road first starts slightly descending, then brings us to the spot where a short footpath branches off to the left downwards towards the nearby spring, and we continue on the road, which starts gently ascending. After a short ascent, the road brings us to a smaller saddle, where a marked footpath branches off to the right towards Prevala. We head onto the mentioned path, which temporarily slightly descends, then transitions onto the ridge named V grebenih.
Here the path becomes quite steep and continues on and along locally quite steep and in some places also slightly exposed ridge (especially when wet there is a risk of slipping on certain sections). Higher the path flattens and brings us from the ridge to the edge of a larger and overgrown clearing. Here the path turns left into the forest and gently descends to the nearby forest road, which we follow to the left. For some time we descend on the mentioned road, then arrive at a crossroad, in the middle of which stands a cross. From the crossroad we continue on the marked cart track in the direction of Prevala, to which we have another 40 minutes of ascent. The cart track further ascends relatively steeply through the forest, higher crosses an old clearing, then flattens and brings us to a poorly marked junction.
At the spot where the cart track turns left, straight ahead continues a marked footpath, which first moderately, higher steeply ascends through the forest. This path, which in the last part before Prevala is also overgrown with raspberry bushes, we follow all the way to the Prevala saddle, from which a nice view opens up.
From Prevala we continue towards the north and start descending over panoramic slopes of the upper part of Planina Ravni. After a short descent we step onto a wider cart track, follow it to the right and after a few 10 steps of further walking arrive at the shepherd's hut on the mentioned mountain pasture.
