Some snapshots from Saturday's "walk" to Velika Planina.

Started at the lower station of the cable car (currently not operating), where the sign nicely directs you to the right path but already at the next intersection you start wondering where now, since marks and signposts disappear. It continues similarly at the next couple of intersections with road and forest paths when with more luck than brains I finally spot the second directional sign. This part really should be marked better!!! Stuck to the forest road, which after cca. 1 km walking starts descending slightly, it takes you to the junction with sign saying to top of VP still 2:45. From here no navigation issues. Path is (to Planina Dol) steep sure but not demanding. In wet can be slippery like any other. When leaving Planina Dol, where it says to VP still 1:15 (come on say 45 min really) it steepens a bit more then you're at Planina Konjščica, where peaks of Kamnik-Savinja Alps first show. Then just pure enjoyment ...

View through the window says no or rather one small patch is visible
