Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving into the Podvolovjek valley (direction Kamnik and Kranjski Rak). At the road sign between 11 and 11.5 km, we will get to a smaller intersection, where a road towards the farm Planinšek and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the right (turn-off is marked). We turn onto this initially still asphalted road, which we follow at the intersections in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne. After 9 km of driving from the main road (of which 8 km macadam) we will get to the sharp right turn in the middle of which a road branches off to the left, which is already at the very beginning closed with a grazing fence. We turn onto the mentioned road, which we then follow to the parking lot at the end of it.
From Kamnik we drive towards the mountain pass Črnivec, but only to an intersection, where the road towards Kranjski Rak branches off sharply to the left (turn-off is marked and is located only 500 meters before the mentioned mountain pass). At the intersection at Kranjski Rak we continue straight on the main road which starts descending into the Podvolovjek valley. In the mentioned valley we will only 100 meters after the Gams bar come to an intersection, where the road towards the farm Planinšek and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the left (turn-off is marked). Further, follow the above description.
Route description:
From the end of the road, we cross the fence and then immediately after it we continue right along it steeply upwards. The path soon goes into the forest, where it ascends steeply for some time, and then it gradually flattens. Next follows a few minutes' walk through an increasingly sparse forest and a relatively gentle path quickly brings us to the derelict shepherd's hut on the mountain pasture Vodole.

Everything is fine and good, but precisely because of such variants when you drive by car to half an hour from the starting point, beautiful old paths to such pastures as Vodole from lower starting points have overgrown and been lost I don't know, does it seem like a shame only to me? For example, the path to Vodole from Planinška (not to mention even lower) is SO overgrown that it's VERY hard to push through it, if you can find it at all And it's BEAUTIFUL, so very very... I still remember it when I walked it with my parents in my teenage years, when it was still more passable...
