V Koncu - Kranjska Rinka (via Žmavčarji)

Access to the starting point:
Drive into Kamnik and follow the road towards the Kamnik Bistrica valley. From your home in Kamniška Bistrica, continue driving along the forest road, which takes you higher up to a crossroads where you continue straight ahead (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo). The road then takes you past Žagana peči to the parking lot at the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kokrsko sedlo.
After the new traffic sign, driving from the Kamniški Bistrica hut to the V Koncu parking lot is forbidden, which extends the journey by almost an hour.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway, continue along the deteriorating road, which turns into cart track after 10 minutes of walking. Cart track splits into two parts, and we take the right one (the left cart track is lost, or leads towards Gams' Hide), which turns slightly further to the right at a small boulder covered with moss (a large rock). It is at this point that cart track is abandoned and you continue straight on the initially less visible path, which later climbs steeply in the keys. The steep and, especially in wet conditions, slippery path leads over steep slopes, which in some places are protected by a steel cable. The steep path, which also crosses some ravines, leads us higher up to a less steep slope. After a good hour's walk, the path leads us out of the forest, where it starts to climb steeply again. The path initially leads us over grassy slopes surrounded by sparse forest, and then, with the help of a few fixed safety gear, it takes us a step higher. The path then moves on to a rough slope, which makes the ascent a little more difficult, and then turns left onto a steep grassy slope rising above vast scree fields. At the top of this grassy section, turn slightly right and the path moves from the grass to the high mountain area of high-lying plateau below Skuta. Continue along the cairns path and in a few minutes you will reach the pleasant bivouac below Skuta.
From the bivouac, continue along the poorly visible and still unmarked path along the unmarked ridge, which leads us after a 15-minute walk from the bivouac to the marked path Kamniško sedlo - Kokrsko sedlo. Here we continue to the right and after a few minutes we arrive at a crossroads where we continue sharp left in the direction of Skute and Rink. Only a little further on we come to the next crossroads, where we continue right up towards Rink (straight Skuta). The way forward climbs steeply for a short time, and then leads us to an undistinguished ridge along and along which we then climb. Just before the marked path reaches the Mala Rinka peak, it turns slightly to the left and descends slightly to the notch between the Mala and the Štajerská Rinka. On the other side of the stubble, the marked path starts climbing again and after a few minutes of further walking leads to a marked crossroads, where we continue straight in the direction of Kranjska Rinka (to the right Koroška Rinka). The trail then crosses the slopes of Koroška Rinka and then turns slightly to the left, where it climbs steeply. There is a short, very steep climb, and then the path leads to the main ridge, which is followed in a few steps to the top of the Kranjska Rinka. In Konec - bivouac under Skuto 3:00, bivouac under Skuto - Kranjska Rinka 1:35.
