Dom v Kamniški Bistrici - Kamniški Dedec

Access to the starting point:
Drive into Kamnik and follow the road towards the Kamniška Bistrica valley, where you park in a large parking lot near the Doma v Kamniški Bistrica (Home in Kamniška Bistrica).

Path description:
From the parking lot in front of the lodge in Kamniška Bistrica, we continue along the initially asphalted road, which after a short climb quickly leads us into the forest. After a few minutes of walking, the mountain signs for Kamniško sedlo direct us to the right on a steep footpath that leads us slightly higher to an interesting passage under overhanging cliffs. The steep path then leads us to the bottom station of the cargo cableway, where we step out onto the road. Continue to the left and then, after a few steps, take a sharp right. A relatively steep forest path leads us higher up to cart track, which we follow for a few tens of metres to the right, and then signs direct us to the left, where after a steep initial climb the steepness subsides. Next, in a slight cross-climb, cross the relatively steep slopes, after which the path from the higher starting point (Jermanca) joins us on the left. A few minutes' walk later, the path leads to the crossroads V Klinu. The marked trail towards Kamniško sedlo turns left up here (there are also signposts along the way), and we continue slightly right on the unmarked trail. At the beginning of this path there is a large sign "The path does not lead to K. sedlo".
Continue in the direction of the path that does not lead to Kamniško sedlo, but it soon turns left and leads us to the next, this time completely unmarked crossroads. Here we see some small cairns, which direct us slightly right to the bed of a nearby torrential stream. Descend to the stream and on the other side of the landslide find the start of a path which continues right through the forest. The path then crosses a short exposed slope and then begins to climb in switchbacks through the forest. Higher up, a cross path branches off to the left, which leads to Repov kot, and we continue to the right along the steep path, which quickly leads to the nearby hunting hut, which offers a beautiful view of Brana and Kamniško sedlo.
Behind the hunting lodge, we continue along a beautifully visible and gradually steepening path, which climbs southwards. Higher up the path becomes less steep, then turns slightly to the left, where it begins to climb very steeply (especially in wet conditions a high risk of slipping). The steepness then begins to ease and the path, which continues to pass through the forest, leads us to the ridge of the Black Peak, where it turns to the left and is further laid. A short descent follows, and then the sometimes less visible path continues along the forested ridge. After a few minutes of easy walking, the path begins to climb steeply again, and the ridge gives way to the right onto steep and slip-prone slopes. After a short steep climb, we return to the ridge, which is from here on less overgrown and consequently more and more scenic. There is a moderate climb along the ridge to a nearby rocky jump where you can leave your poles, provided you have them with you. The way ahead climbs steeply up a narrow gully and, only a few metres higher, turns to the left, where it leads to an exposed slope surrounded by dwarf pines. With a little help in hand, we climb over this slope, which ends on a precipitous and scenic summit.
