Kraljev hrib - Planina Konjščica (Velika planina)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and the cableway to Velika planina. In Stahovica, we continue left (direction Kamniška Bistrica and cableway Velika planina) and follow the moderately ascending road to a large parking lot near the lower cableway station to Velika planina (the parking lot is located on the right side of the road).

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Dol and Velika planina. After approximately 100 meters of walking on the road, just before the first right turn, we will notice on the left side at first a wide footpath which ascends into the forest (turn-off isn't marked). We continue on the mentioned path, which soon crosses a lane of bushes and immediately brings us to a crossing, where we continue on the right path. Further, we ascend on a footpath which after a short ascent brings us to a forest road which we follow to the left (unmarked).
After a minute or two of walking on the road, we come to the marked crossing, where we continue right on a marked footpath. The path ahead at first gently ascends among growths of wild garlic, and then it starts to ascend steeper and steeper. A relatively steep path, which all the time runs through the forest, higher brings us to a short part that is exposed to falling stones. Further, the path ascends even steeper, and then turns to the left, where the steepness decreases. Next follows only a few minutes of easy walking and the path brings us to a forest road which we follow to the right. The road which immediately passes out of the forest on the western edge of the mountain pasture Planina Dol we follow approximately 5 minutes, to a marked crossing, where we continue right - direction Velika planina towards shepherd huts on the mountain pasture (left mountain pasture Rzenik and Konj), which we reach after a few additional strides of easy walking.
From the shepherd huts on the mountain pasture, past a cross we ascend to the edge of the forest and then we continue the ascent on the path which ascends through the forest. Higher the forest is becoming thinner and the path after approximately 30 minutes of ascent from the mountain pasture Dol brings us to the mountain pasture Konjščica, from which a view opens up towards the nearby Rzenik.
