| Access to starting point: |
We drive from Kamnik into valley Kamniška Bistrica. We drive past a house and continue driving on a forest road towards Kokrsko sedlo (saddle). We go to left in both crossroads and drive past Žagana peč till a parking lot at cargo cable railway going on Kokrsko sedlo. |
| Path description: |
We start at the cableway from where the marks lead us to the path in the middle of a high grass (in summer). Right after a few minutes the grass dissapears and there is a nice forest path in front of us. The path is pretty steep but not too much. We get to the steel wire soon, but it's not that usable if it's not raining or icy. After half an hour we get out of the forest and cross pretty steep ravine. We can see Kokrsko sedlo from here, but the cottage can't be seen until we get to Kokrsko sedlo. We continue through a bushy scree below the walls steeply ascending. Be careful not to trigger the rocks we're walking on. In the snow, the last ascend to the sedlo is dangerous because it's slippery and avalanches can be triggered. The view towards Storžič and Grintovec open up at the cottage. If the storm is coming it's good to end the trip. We can wait to clear up or we can sleep over in the cottage. If the cottage is closed, the winter bivouac is available (its open when the cottage is closed).
We continue south in the direction of Kalški greben. We traverse the slopes under Kalška gora and reach a less steep rock wall. The path leads us directly into it and we must climb over it. We then see meadows, where the steepness reduces. We continue right over a mildly exposed crest that leads us to the hard part of the trip – to an almost vertical wall, over which we must climb. Helmets are necessary! The path is protected, but self-protection gear is advised. The steepness then reduces and we have a 20 min ascent to the top. |
