Kraljev dol - Veliki vrh (Veža) (via Planina Vodole)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, then continue driving towards Stahovica and the mountain pass Črnivec. A few hundred meters before the mountain pass Črnivec, we leave the main road which leads towards Gornji Grad and continue driving sharply left in the direction of the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak). From the mentioned mountain pass, we continue straight (left road which leads to Velika planina, right Štajerski Rak) and start descending towards Luče. Lower down, the road flattens a little and brings us into the Podvolovljek valley. Further, we first drive past the turn-off of the road which leads into the Lučka Bela valley, then also past the bar pri Gamsu. After the bar, we need to pay attention, because only a few hundred meters further a road which leads towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off to the left (by the spot where we leave the main road, there is a road sign approximately 11 km). Further, we drive on the initially still asphalt road which then ascends towards the Dleskovška planota plateau. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road, which a little further brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podvežak). After 9 km of driving from the main road (from Planinšek ahead it is a macadam road), we will get to a 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 head onto the mentioned road, which we then follow to the turning point at the end of the road. We park in an appropriate place at the end of the road.
B) First, we drive to Luče, then continue driving towards Kamnik. When by the road we notice a road sign which shows 10.5 km, we need to pay attention to the right turn-off, because only a little further to the right a road towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off. Further, we drive on the initially still asphalt road which then ascends towards the Dleskovška planota plateau. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road, which a little further brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podvežak). After 9 km of driving from the main road (from Planiška ahead it is a macadam road), we will get to a 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 head onto the mentioned road, which we then follow to the turning point at the end of the road. We park in an appropriate place at the end of the road.

Path description:
From the end of the road, we cross the fence and then immediately after it continue right next to it steeply upwards. The path soon goes into the forest, where it ascends steeply for some time, then gradually flattens. Next follows a few minutes' walk through increasingly sparse forest and a relatively gentle path quickly brings us to the shepherd's hut on mountain pasture Vodole.
From the shepherd's hut, we continue through the middle of the mountain pasture on the path which leads us past a smaller swamp. On the other side of the mountain pasture, the path starts to ascend slightly and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a boulder on which we notice already quite faded signs for Korošica, which direct us slightly right onto the path that goes into the forest and gradually starts to ascend more steeply. A quite overgrown path which runs through dwarf pines higher joins a much wider and better-trodden path which leads from mountain pasture Podvežak; we continue straight, cross the grazing fence and after a few further steps arrive at Inkretov studenec, which is located just a few meters from the path.
Follows a slight ascent, then the path flattens again and brings us below the relatively steep and in snow avalanche-prone slopes of Tolsti vrh. A little further, a pleasant path brings us to a marked junction, where we continue slightly right in the direction of the chapel on Molička peč (slightly left Korošica). Ahead, the path descends slightly, then continues in a moderate ascent across a series of smaller depressions. Soon we reach a small junction where to the left a path branches off which returns to the marked path towards Korošica, to the right a path towards mountain pasture Ravne and Dolga Trata. We continue straight on the wide and pleasant path, which after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the Prag saddle, where the next junction is.
We continue sharply right in the direction of mountain pasture Ravne and Veliki vrh (straight Molička planina) on the path which crosses the slopes of Veliki vrh towards the southeast. After a few minutes of further walking, we will notice by the path signs for Veliki vrh, which direct us left onto the path which climbs through a belt of dwarf pines (straight mountain pasture Ravne). Higher, the trail becomes more distinct and gradually starts to ascend ever more steeply. A quite steep path, alongside which numerous cairns and blazes assist our orientation, becomes somewhat less trodden higher up. Further, we follow a somewhat less visible little trail which from the steep, partly rocky section transitions to more gentle grassy slopes. The trail, which slowly turns right, brings us after a few minutes of further walking to Veliki vrh, where we notice a large cairn.
