Kranjski Rak - Poljanski rob (footpath)

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

Path description:
From the Volovljek pass we continue westwards along a macadam road in the direction of Velika planina, Jarški dom, Črnuški dom, Domžalski dom and Dom na Kisovcu. The road first leads along a pasture, then enters the forest, where a marked footpath branches off to the left. We continue on the mentioned path, which first ascends somewhat more steeply through the forest, then joins a cart track, where the path flattens. We walk for a few minutes along the cart track, then along a pleasant forest path, which higher up descends to a macadam road. We reach the road right at the junction, where to the left the road continues towards Dom na Kisovcu, straight ahead after some 10 meters we arrive at the large Rakove ravni parking lot (the road continues towards Marjanine njive, Ušivec parking lot, Dol mountain pasture...), to the right the road leads back towards the Volovljek pass.
We continue the path by crossing the road leading towards Kisovec and then walking parallel to the road leading to the large parking lot and further towards Marjanine njive. For a short time we walk along the edge of the meadow, then the path enters the forest, where gradually the trail becomes more visible and markings reappear (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 point where we cross an electric shepherd, behind it we step onto a dead-end branch of the road leading to the nearby cottage or two. When the road ends the path returns to the forest, where it begins to ascend more steeply. Higher up we reach the cart track leading from Marjanine njive towards Gojška planina, which we follow 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 go slightly left (right the upper part of Gojška planina) along an ascending footpath. The pleasant and increasingly scenic path ascends across the expansive grazing area, then crosses one of the macadam roads. On the other side of the road the path gradually ascends moderately, then approaches the road leading towards Jarški dom and Domžalski dom. Before stepping onto the road we continue left, then after some 10 steps of further walking we arrive at Jarški dom.
We bypass the mentioned hut on the left side, then continue the ascent along a wide path that gently ascends through sparse forest. Already after a few minutes a path to Črnuški dom branches off to the left, we continue straight and follow the wide path all the way to Domžalski dom on Mali planina.
From Domžalski dom we continue towards Velika planina, then before crossing the pasture fence we continue left towards the nearby wider path. When we reach the mentioned wider path we go right, then immediately after crossing the pasture fence left onto a less trodden trail that along the fence begins to ascend towards Poljanski rob. Along the increasingly scenic path, then in a few minutes we reach the aforementioned summit.

On the way: Jarški dom na Mali planini mountain hut (1520m), Domžalski dom na Mali planini mountain hut (1534m)
