Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving in the direction of the mountain pass Črnivec. Only few 100 meters before the mentioned mountain pass we notice signs for Kranjski Rak, which point us sharply left on a narrow and at first also quite steep road. The road higher flattens and then brings us to mountain pass Volovljek, where near the inn Kranjski Rak we also park (parking in front of the inn is only for guests). A little more space for parking is near the inn Štajerski Rak.
B) From Gornji Grad we drive towards Kamnik, after that only few 100 meters after mountain pass Črnivec we continue right in the direction of Kranjski Rak. Further, we follow the description above.
C) From the valley Savinjska dolina at first we drive to Luče, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. When we come on the mountain pass Volovljek we park on an appropriate place by inn Kranjski Rak (parking in front of the inn is only for guests). A little more space for parking is near the inn Štajerski Rak.
Path description:
From the mountain pass Volovljek at first we walk to snack bar Štajerski Rak (snack bar is situated on the eastern side of the mountain pass Volovljek, on maps is Štajerski Rak marked at the spot, where used to be a homestead Štajerski Rak).
From the snack bar Štajerski Rak we continue on the forest road which starts gently to moderately ascending through the forest. During the diagonal ascent on the road, the path mostly leads on northwestern slopes of Kranjska reber, from which occasionally a nice view opens up on Podvolovljek and mountains above the mentioned valley. Higher forest for some time ends and a view opens up on the highest peaks of Kamnik and Savinja Alps, and the road turns a little to the right and brings us on an area named Na kalu, where there is a marked crossing.
Here the marked path on Kranjska reber branches off to the right, in the direction of straight continues the road, on which we can get to mountain pass Črnivec, and we continue left, on the road in the direction of Lepenatka. Further, the road is diagonally descending on the eastern slopes of Kašni vrh, from where on some spots a nice view opens up towards Menina planina. When the road turns sharply to the left and changes into a cart track, we leave it and we continue straight in the forest. Through the forest, we are for some time descending, and in doing so, we descend over short jump. Lower, we reach the forest road which we follow in the direction of straight, after the road from the ridge turns slightly to the right, we continue straight on an ascending cart track, by which there are also blazes. Cart track at first steeply ascends on a ridge and then from there slightly to the left and downwards an unmarked cart track branches off, which after a shorter diagonal descent joins to a forest road, on which it is possible to continue towards Bivak na Kalu, and we continue straight, at first for a short time on a cart track, after that slightly right on a marked footpath. The path immediately starts ascending steeply, and soon also turns a little to the right, where it ascends diagonally through more steep slopes. Further, the path is steeply ascending, and occasionally leads us also through some shorter exposed part, where mainly in wet or snow more caution is needed. Higher slope gradually flattens, and the path turns right and brings us on the ridge east from Kunšperski vrh (also Brezovec).
When we reach the ridge, we continue right (left Kunšperski vrh, 5 minutes of easy pathless terrain) on a marked path which continues on occasionally panoramic ridge. Further, we are gently to moderately ascending on or a little left from the ridge. Higher, the path leads over a grazing fence, behind which we step on the upper grassy slopes ofLepenatka. Next follows few minutes of a moderate ascent, on the path, from which beautiful views are opening up, which reach from the nearby Veliki Rogatec, over Raduha and Olševa, to the highest peaks of Kamnik Savinja Alps and we already reach the grassy peak Lepenatka.
On the way: Na kalu (1250m), Sedlo Kunšperk (1119m)
