Sleeping hill/hillock / Kopica
Regarding the name I'm in a dilemma how to properly name this neglected peak in Upper Okrešelj. It was presented to me as Sleeping Peak about 40 years ago. When I searched more about it a few days ago I saw: Sleeping peak/hillock, Kopica, Grič.
The cross on the top was put up in 1993 by members of the Gloria Laško choir. The cross has lily flowers on the tips, characteristic of the Laško coat of arms.
The peak is really neglected because everyone rushes to higher peaks nearby. Those of course "count" something, this one doesn't...
So forgotten it stands alone among the two-thousanders nearby.
We soon managed to find the little path leading to the top. Not too demanding, just a few meters of crumbly broken ridge is the only obstacle to the top. It still goes up, descent a bit harder. This crumbly bit already psyched me out. On both sides of the narrow ridge there's serious steepness ending far below. We sighed with relief when we got down it. No other special difficulties on this peak then (if you don't seek them).
Then continue on the hunting path which at times is harder to follow towards the marked one from Okrešelj to Kamniško sedlo. Few meters on it then steeply down the gully. Find hidden path and cross rocky ridge. We're opposite Rinka waterfall / Eagle's nest.
Then bit on hunting paths, bit our own way and reach parking under waterfall after cca. 5 hours. Despite today's crowds in mountains, we met no one on unmarked paths we used. Some pure off-trail too.cool
cheers
Orientationally quite demanding. Ascent to Sleeping hillock not too demanding. For me descent on crumbly ridge quite nasty (those few meters I crawled on all fours).
There are two pitons though, useless without rope. Quite unreliable too...zavijanje z očmi

Nice greeting. Is there a branch for the described path, between the part where we come out of the forest towards Kam. sedlo and before entering the "wall"? Or, if I'm thinking right - did you descend right of Okrešelj, if looking into the valley?

Picture number 18, that you described as Krnica, is named "Za ogradcem". The saddle above it is Pasje sedlo. From Pasje sedlo under the walls of Kamniško sedlo to the marked path Pod Kotliči it's called Zadnji Okrešelj.

you're right, we descended right of Okrešelj. But we went quite lower than Pasje sedlo and then crossed the stony ridge full of interesting sculptures.

Still don't know if I named the hill with the cross correctly, which Laščani put on top. Is it Kopica/Grič/Sleeping hillock??
Regarding the naming of Gornji Okrešelj I found the name in Planinski vestnik: September 2005 in a polemic on naming between PD Matica Celje president and undersigned Elč Prezelj - article (Al’ is it written correctly
Sleeping hill or
Kopica?
"they called it Grič, this sensible folk name has not been preserved in living speech). This is the well visible hillock in the middle of Gornji Okrešelj, as we call the lower world between Turska gora, Rinkami and Mrzla gora".

As far as I know from Robanov Jož's story this glacial moraine is called zaspani hriber. Never heard or read Kopica. It's located right under Turska gora or under Menih, as that pointed rock sticking out of the scree or Peski is called (locals call scree Peski.) Left of Menih or Zaspani hribra to Pasje sedlo it's called Zadnji Okrešelj.

Today Zoki and I tackled the repeat and further exploration in this area.
For those few meters of crumbly ridge I brought some ropes. So I could descend without sweaty hands and dry mouth. No regrets carrying the rope cca. 6 hours for those few meters.
Whole route done without special issues (well, some meter walked was extra..velik nasmeh)
On marked sections met hikers, on our route no one. Descent done exploratively and discovered, saw some "new" too.
On return parking under waterfall in exceptional state. Cars parked on both sides of road, every meeting difficult, in short "Logarska bursting at the seams"!
cheers

Today via the Pastirska path to Okrešelj and further to the torrent bed. Along it until I tell myself I'm probably too high already, but just then I spot on the left some sawn dwarf pine branches. Easily I reach under the ridge, along which I'd be quickly on top, but since it seemed to me that it wasn't the one, I turn right down and under walls on a quite visible little path. At the end nothing - walls below me, walls above. I enter the gully which is quite crumbly and not exactly easy (more than III but not much). Anyway I climb to the top, but strongly discourage. I descend via the little ridge that Geppo mentions as exposed. Because of the little ridge I carried some meters of old rope. Crumbliness is not nice, but compared to the ascent it's poetry. I continue through forest and dwarf pines to marked path to Kamniško sedlo, follow it briefly, then turn towards Pasje sedlo and on the other side down the system of screes to entrance of Grlo, which with Rjavči vrh should be part of the tour. Due to strong wind and increasingly weird clouds, I leave them for another time and continue to coffee in Logarska kot. After lounging, once more feet on path. If morning tour was dry, short afternoon rewarded with abundance of drops.

Zokipoki, I gotta cover myself in ashes, since before noticing the direction sign I didn't even know about this path to Okrešelj. zadrega
Geppo, count me in for new exploring. Your little ridge is pure scree and since I brought a few meters of rope, I used it. Caution doesn't hurt, kilos don't matter - if you slip, you slip (wouldn't end well there). Thanks for mentioning the piton above. nasmeh

The ascent to ZH itself isn't that hard. For me the tricky part is those last few meters on scree. No proper footholds, no handholds. Exposed on both sides. Two bolted pitons help, can be used for belay. 20m rope is enough.
Did you do some gymnastics on the hunter paths back there? There are quite a fewvelik nasmeh

At the end of the gully you see a path left that brings you to the saddle. The start is very crumbly, which you can avoid further right.
