Markova raven - Vrh Korena (marked way)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. Just a few tens of meters before the bottom station of the cable car, a forest road branches off to the left downwards into the valley of Korošica. The road then crosses a bridge and soon after that comes to a crossroads, where we continue straight. The road then again brings us to a crossroads. Ahead we have two options: 1. We turn left over the bridge and ascend along the road upwards. We follow this road to a smaller parking lot at Markova raven. We recognize Markova ravan by the fact that beside the road there is a smaller parking lot, a torrent and a wide cart track which goes left upwards, and the road starts steeply descending. 2. We continue straight and ascend along the road which brings us to the next crossroads. We continue on the left road which becomes very steep and we follow it to the parking lot at the left bend from which a wide cart track branches off straight. We park on the parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a wide cart track which after a few tens of meters brings us to the next parking lot. Across the parking lot we continue straight and further ascend along the cart track which turns left. After a few minutes of walking, the cart track has a junction, where we take the right marked cart track. We follow it for a few minutes to the place where a footpath branches off to the right towards Krvavec and Planina Koren. The branch-off is not specifically marked, so we must carefully follow the blazes. The path ahead ascends along the right side of the torrent quite steeply upwards. The path then brings us to a junction, where we continue right in the direction of ZA VRATA. The path ahead slowly transitions into a less dense forest, so that occasionally we cross a smaller meadow or even a short scree slope. The views also become increasingly beautiful. Further on, the path brings us below the foot of a shorter wall from which an unmarked path branches off right upwards to Planina Koren. We continue along the left side of the wall slightly upwards. The path ahead slightly descends and brings us to a pleasant spring. The path ahead goes to the left side of the spring and starts ascending again. The path ahead crosses a shorter belt of dwarf pines, then starts ascending through the grass. Further on, the path is harder to follow as it quickly disappears among the grass, but the rarer blazes will help us. After 20 minutes of ascent from the spring, the path brings us to a wooden hut. The path behind the hut turns left into the forest and after a short ascent joins the path from Kriška planina (Krvavec). We continue sharply right and without major ascent or descent cross a belt of forest. Further on, the path starts ascending the slopes which are overgrown with dwarf pines and some trees. After 20 minutes of ascent, the steepness eases and ahead of us we see the shepherd's hut on Planina Koren. The path then descends past the watering place for animals to the shepherd's hut on the Planina.
Here our path continues slightly left (slightly right Planina Košutna) across meadows along the valley bottom (the path is initially poorly visible). The path then becomes increasingly steep and after less than 30 minutes of walking brings us to a small pond, where there is a poorly marked junction. We continue straight (right Košutna) and follow the gentle path to the next junction, where we continue left in the direction of Vrh Korena (straight Kompotela). The path ahead starts to ascend more steeply and quickly brings us across karst terrain to the place where we join the path from Veliki Zvoh towards Vrh Korena (Jež ridge). We continue right and the path brings us in a few steps to the place where the path to Vrh Korena branches off right, which we reach after one minute of further walking.
