Planina Podvežak - Planjava (via Srebrno sedlo)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Luče, then continue driving into the Podvolovjek valley (direction Kamnik and Kranjski Rak). At the road marker between 11 and 11.5 km, we will reach a smaller intersection, where the road to the Planinšek farm and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the right (the turn-off is marked). We head onto this initially still asphalted road, following it at the intersections in the direction of the Podvežak mountain pasture. Along a relatively long and in the upper part also poorer macadam road, we will reach the parking lot below the Podvežak mountain pasture (at the starting point there is a barrier and numerous hiking signposts).
From Kamnik we drive towards the Črnivec pass, but only to the intersection where the road to Kranjski Rak branches off sharply to the left (the turn-off is marked and is located only 500 m before the mentioned pass). At the intersection at Kranjski Rak we continue straight on the main road, which starts descending into the Podvolovjek valley. In the mentioned valley, just 100 m past the Gams bar, we will come to an intersection where the road to the Planinšek farm and mountain pastures Podvežak, Ravne and Vodole branches off to the left (the turn-off is marked). Continue as per the above description.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath (or road) in the direction of the Podvežak mountain pasture. Both the road and the footpath, which crosses a forest road during the ascent, bring us in 15 minutes of moderate ascent to the shepherd's hut on the Podvežak mountain pasture, from which a beautiful view opens towards Rogatec and Lepenatka.
From the mountain pasture we continue on the marked but initially poorly visible path, which soon enters the forest. The path through the forest ascends somewhat more steeply, then transitions into a smaller treeless valley, above which it completely flattens. There follows a few minutes of traversing the slopes below the side ridge of Deska, then the path brings us to a less noticeable junction, where an unmarked path branches off to the left towards Deska and Vodotočno Lake. We continue straight on the marked path, which descends into a pleasant grassy plain, then turns slightly to the right and ascends through a belt of dwarf pines. At the top of the ascent, the path from the Vodole mountain pasture joins from the right; we continue left, cross the grazing fence and after a few more steps reach Inkret's spring, which is located just a few meters off the path.
There follows only a gentle ascent, then the path flattens again and brings us below the relatively steep slopes of Tolsti vrh, which are avalanche-prone in snow. A bit further, the pleasant path brings us to a signposted junction, where we continue slightly left towards Korošica (slightly right is the chapel on Molička peč (mountain pasture)). The path ahead traverses the slopes below Tolsti vrh for a while longer, then transitions onto the plateau-like terrain of the Dleskovška planota, which is riddled with numerous sinkholes and pits. The path, continuing with some shorter ascents and descents, quickly brings us to a junction where the path from Robanov kot and the Ravne mountain pasture joins from the right.
We continue towards Korošica on the path that ascends across to the saddle between the lesser-known Koroški vrh on the left and Mala Ojstrica on the right. We continue straight downhill (left Prag, right Ojstrica via Mala Ojstrica) on the marked path, which begins descending towards Korošica. After a few minutes of descent we step onto the expansive grassy slopes of Korošica, along which we then walk in a few minutes to the mountain hut.
From Kocbekov dom we continue in the direction of Planjava and Kamniško sedlo. The path ahead first descends slightly, then through a series of smaller valleys in a gentle ascent brings us to the steeper section of the path. The path then ascends alongside the gully upwards and crosses it higher up. During the ascent ever new views open up, and a natural window catches our eye. The path then transitions from grassy to rocky slopes, where we quickly enter the secured section of the path. The well-secured and partly quite steep path then brings us to Srebrno sedlo, where a fine view opens onto the Kamnik side. There follows a traverse of the slopes to the west, which we cover in a moderate ascent. Further on we reach the next junction, where we continue right towards the summit of Planjava (left Kamniško sedlo). From the increasingly panoramic path the green meadows finally give way to gray rock. Just below the summit, paths from Klemenča jama and Kamniško sedlo also join. There remains only a short ascent along the summit slope of the mountain.
Podvežak - Korošica 2:15, Korošica - Planjava 2:00.
