Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving into a valley of Podvolovjek (direction Kamnik and Kranjski Rak). At the road sign between 11 and 11.5 km, we will get to a smaller crossroad, where a road towards the farm Planinšek and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the right (turn-off is marked). We go on this at first still asphalt road which at the crossroads we follow in the direction of the mountain pasture Podvežak. On relatively long and in the upper part also worse macadam road we will get to the parking lot below the mountain pasture Podvežak (by the starting point are a gate and numerous signposts).
From Kamnik we drive towards the mountain pass Črnivec, but only to a crossroad, where the road towards Kranjski Rak branches off sharply to the left (turn-off is marked and is located only 500 meters before the mentioned mountain pass). At the crossroad at Kranjski Rak we continue straight on the main road which starts descending into a valley of Podvolovjek. In the mentioned valley we will only 100 meters after bar Gams come to a crossroad, where the road towards the farm Planinšek and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the left (turn-off is marked). Further, follow the upper description.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath (or road) in the direction of the mountain pasture Podvežak. Both road and footpath which during the ascent crosses a forest road, in 15 minutes of a moderate ascent bring us to shepherd cottage on the mountain pasture Podvežak, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Rogatec and Lepenatka.
From the mountain pasture, we continue on a marked, but at first poorly visible path, which soon goes into the forest. The path through the forest a little steeper ascends, and then passes into a smaller unvegetated valley, above which it entirely flattens. Next follows few minutes of crossing the slopes below the side ridge of Deska, and then the path brings us on a less noticeable crossing, where the unmarked path branches off to the left, which leads towards Deska and lake Vodotočno jezero. We continue straight on a marked path, which descends on a pleasant grassy plain, and then turns a little towards the right and it ascends through a lane of dwarf pines. On the top of the ascent from the right joins the path from the mountain pasture Vodole, and we continue left, we cross a grazing fence and after few additional strides, we come to a well Inkretov studenec, which is situated just few meters from the path.
Follows only a light ascent, and then the path again flattens and brings us below relatively steep and in snow for an avalanche dangerous slopes Tolsti vrh. A little further pleasant path brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Korošica (slightly right chapel on Molička peč (mountain pasture)). The path ahead for some time crosses slopes below Tolsti vrh, and then it passes on a plateau terrain of Dleskovška planota, which is crisscrossed with numerous abysses and caves. The path which continues with some shorter ascents and descents then quickly brings us to a crossing, where from the right side joins the path from Robanov kot and mountain pasture Ravne.
We continue in the direction of Korošica on the path which ascends diagonally on the saddle between less known Koroški vrh on the left and Mala Ojstrica on the right.
From Sedelce (1900 meters) we continue right on the path Kocbekova pot in the direction of Ojstrica and Mala Ojstrica (straight downwards mountain hut Kocbekov dom na Korošici). From the saddle, the path at first slightly descends over a pleasant grassy slope, and then turns right, where it starts ascending diagonally towards the east. After a short ascent, the path brings us on the ridge of Mala Ojstrica (here from the right side joins the path from the mountain pasture Molička planina), where it turns sharply to the left and is then ascending by a very panoramic ridge. The path which is further ascending by the left side of the ridge, in few additional minutes of walking, it brings us below an indistinct peak of Mala Ojstrica, which we recognize by miniature Aljaž turret (ascent on Mala Ojstrica is only a minute from the path). The marked path bypasses the mentioned peak on the left side and only a little further again brings us on the ridge, where we cross steep and for slipping dangerous slopes. Ahead path avoids the ridge to the left, crosses a short very steep slope, and then brings us on pleasant grassy slopes. After few minutes of pleasant walking, we step into a short crumbly, but not very steep part of the path. Further, the path again flattens, crosses one more grassy slope, and then in a moderate ascent, that runs over more and more rocky slope brings us below the upper slope of Ojstrica. The path ahead starts steeply ascending on rugged rocks and starts turning more and more to the left. Further path slightly flattens, crosses very steep slopes, and then with the help of iron spikes again starts ascending steeply. The path which offers numerous (mainly) natural holds, soon brings us below the secondary peak, from which follows relatively difficult descent into a notch between the both peaks. From the notch follows a short steep ascent on a crumbly slope and a more panoramic path quickly brings us to the summit of Ojstrica.
