Planina Ravne - Caving bivouac on Dleskovška planota (via Zelene trate)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving towards Stahovica and mountain pass Črnivec. Few 100 meters before the mountain pass Črnivec we leave the main road which leads towards Gornji Grad and we continue driving sharply left in the direction of the mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak). From the mentioned mountain pass we continue straight (left road which leads on Velika planina, right Štajerski Rak) and start descending towards Luče. Lower the road flattens a little and brings us into a valley Podvolovljek. Further at first we drive past the turn-off of the road which leads into a valley of Lučka Bela, after that also past bar Pri Gamsu. After the bar, we need to pay attention, because only few 100 meters further road which leads towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and mountain pasture Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off to the left (by the spot, where we leave the main road, there is a road sign approximately 11 km). Further, we drive on at first still asphalt road which is then ascending towards the plateau Dleskovška planota. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road which few 100 meters further from turn-off towards the farm Planinšek becomes a macadam, and a little further it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podveža). Further a little rough road, we then follow to the beginning of the mountain pasture Ravne, where we park on an appropriate place by the road.
From the main road to the mountain pasture Ravne is approximately 10 km, of this approximately 4 km macadam.
B) First, we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. When by the road we notice a sign road which shows 10.5 km, we need to pay attention to the right turn off, because only a little further to the right a road towards the mountain pasture Podvežak and Ravne and farm Planinšek branches off. Further, we drive on at first still asphalt road which is then ascending towards the plateau Dleskovška planota. Higher, the road towards Planinšek branches off to the right, and here we continue on the left upper road which few 100 meters further from turn-off towards the farm Planinšek becomes a macadam, and a little further it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Ravne (left mountain pasture Podveža). Further a little rough road, we then follow to the beginning of the mountain pasture Ravne, where we park on an appropriate place by the road.
From the main road to the mountain pasture Ravne is approximately 10 km, of this approximately 4 km macadam.

Path description:
From the starting point through mountain pasture we walk to the shepherd hut, which we bypass on the right side, so that we continue in the direction of the mountain pasture Molička planina and mountain pasture Polšak (on the left side of the mountain hut leads the path over Dolga trata). Behind the mountain hut, the path is at first a little hard to follow, but we get help from blazes, and a little ahead we join the cart track which from the road on the mountain pasture Ravne branches off at the right turn.
When we step on the cart track, we continue left, on it we at first walk without large changes in altitude, and then we start gently to moderately ascending. After few minutes, we reach a small indistinct saddle between Dleskovec on the left and Smrekovec on the right. Here from the right joins the path from the end of the road, and we continue straight over a grazing fence. Behind the grazing fence follows a short crossing, and then we get to the next marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the cottage Lučka koča, straight mountain pasture Polšak.
The path ahead continues in a series of several smaller valleys, and then it brings us to NOB monument, by which there are situated benches with a table. From here on, the path is ascending a little steeper, and a little higher already first nice views open up towards Križevnik, Raduha and surrounding mountains. Higher, we are for some time moderately ascending through lanes of dwarf pines, and then the path flattens and it brings us on a saddle Sedelce, where from the left joins the path over Dolga trata.
Here we continue straight and we short time still continue on a marked path towards Korošica and mountain pasture Molička planina, and then we continue right in the direction of a marked path on Veliki vrh. The path ahead leads through an indistinct small valley eastern, after that northeast from Veliki vrh. When the marked path on Veliki vrh turns left towards a slope, we continue straight, and then on the right we already notice caving bivouac Jamarski bivak on Dleskovška planota.
We notice the bivouac on the right side few 10 altitude meters lower, and to there we descend on easier pathless terrain, on "path" which leads us among dwarf pines and on a karst terrain. In spite of that, that there is quite some dwarf pines, the passages are among dwarf pines relatively easy, orientation in nice weather also isn't difficult, because the bivouac is most of the time during the descent visible in front of us.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in the year 2016 (August).
