Kranjski Rak - Domžalski dom na Mali planini (footpath)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving in the direction of the Črnivec pass. Only a few hundred meters before the mentioned pass we notice signs for Kranjski Rak, which direct us sharply left onto a narrow and initially also quite steep road. The road levels out higher up and then brings us to the Volovljek pass, where we park near the Kranjski Rak inn (parking in front of the inn is permitted only for guests).
B) From Gornji Grad we drive towards Kamnik, then only a few hundred meters past the Črnivec pass we continue right in the direction of Kranjski Rak. Further, we follow the above description.
C) From Savinjska dolina we first drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. When we arrive at the Volovljek pass we park in a suitable spot next to the Kranjski Rak inn (parking in front of the inn is permitted only for guests).

Path description:
From the Volovljek pass we continue towards the west on a macadam road in the direction of Velika planina, Jarški dom, Črnuški dom, Domžalski dom and Dom na Kisovcu. The road at first leads along the pasture, and then passes into the forest, where a marked footpath branches off to the left. We continue on the mentioned path, which at first ascends a bit more steeply through the forest, then it joins a cart track, where the path flattens. We walk a few minutes on the cart track, then on a pleasant forest path, which higher descends to a macadam road. We reach the road right at the intersection, where to the left the road continues towards Dom na Kisovcu, straight ahead after a few 10 meters we arrive at the large parking lot Rakove ravni (the road continues ahead towards Marjanine njive, parking lot Ušivec, planina Dol...), and to the right the road leads back towards the Volovljek pass.
We continue the path by crossing the road that leads towards Kisovec and then we walk parallel to the road that leads towards the large parking lot and further towards Marjanine njive. For a short time we walk along the edge of the meadow, then the path passes into the forest, where gradually the trail becomes more visible, and trail markers also appear again (the section of the path from crossing the road to the forest is poorly marked or not at all). After a few minutes of walking through the forest we arrive at the spot where we cross the electric shepherd, behind it we step onto the dead-end branch of the road that leads to the nearby weekend house or two. When the road ends the path returns into the forest, which then starts to ascend more steeply. Higher we reach the cart track that leads from Marjanine njive towards Gojška planina, and we follow it to the left and walk along it to the watering place for animals on Gojška planina.
We bypass the watering place on the left side, then we go slightly left (right the upper part of Gojška planina) on an ascending footpath. The pleasant and increasingly scenic path ascends across the extensive grazing area, then it crosses one of the macadam roads. On the other side of the road the path gradually ascends moderately, then it approaches the road that leads towards Jarški dom and Domžalski dom. Before stepping onto the road we continue left, then after a few 10 steps of further walking we arrive at Jarški dom.
We bypass the mentioned hut on the left side, then we continue the ascent on a wide path that gently ascends through sparse forest. Already after a few minutes a path to Črnuški dom branches off to the left, and we continue straight and follow the wide path all the way to Domžalski dom na Mali planini.
