Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. From the hut in Kamniška Bistrica we continue driving on the forest road which brings us higher to a crossroad, where we continue right towards Jermanca (straight starting point for Kokrsko sedlo). We follow this occasionally somewhat steeper road to a parking lot, which is located a little before the end of the road.
Now driving from the hut in Kamniška Bistrica to Jermanca is forbidden (traffic sign), this extends the path by a good hour.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a narrower road which soon changes into a footpath. Further, through the forest we cross a slope on the left side of the valley and then we soon join a marked path from Kamniška Bistrica (lower starting point). Still in a gentle ascent we cross a slope towards the northeast and the path brings us to a junction V Klinu. The marked path towards Kamniško sedlo here turns left upwards (by the path there are also signposts), and we continue slightly right on an unmarked path. At the beginning of this path is a large sign »Pot ne vodi na K. sedlo«.
Further, the path starts ascending a little steeper and runs through the forest on the left side of the valley. A few times from the path right downwards a narrow footpath branches off, and we all the time walk on a better beaten footpath which all the time runs on the left side of the valley. Later, when the path brings us out of the forest, we will, when there is enough water in the stream on the right, notice a waterfall. After that, the path crosses a slightly exposed slope to the right, and we also get help from some pegs. Here we will on the right side in the streambed of the stream notice a few pools. We continue left and we again start ascending through the forest and dwarf pines. When we come out of the forest, the path brings us to a junction, where we continue right on a narrow footpath through dwarf pines. Near the junction on the left side there is a windshelter, if we would continue left the path after a few meters brings us to a panoramic ridge.
Out of the dwarf pines the path leads us over a short scree and then crosses rocky slabs. The path still runs on the left side of the valley and in the last part turns slightly to the right. Here the path becomes a little steeper and some easy climbing is needed (1st grade). The path on this part is also a little less visible and we get help from some cairns. At the last ascent towards the saddle Srebrno sedlo the path avoids the steepness on the right side.
On Srebrno sedlo we continue right on an unmarked path which leads along the ridge and after a short ascent it brings us to the forepeak. From the forepeak we slightly descend, and then the path avoids the ridge on the right side. Past the natural window the path brings us to the south side of the mountain. Here we continue sharply left and after a short ascent along the ridge we reach the peak.
Along the route: Srebrno sedlo (2115m)

On Sunday 22.5 from Jermanca I set off to the ridge of Zeleniške špice, since I didn't get company I went solo. Met some mountaineers up to Staničev vrh, to the summit UIAA II is needed. From Staničev vrh free climbed to the notch and along all the spires to the highest summit. Somewhere at 3/4 of the ridge a belay station appears and there you can only rappel, so turn back a bit and climb to the left side at a suitable spot (above Repov kot, picture 9), one good II. Thereafter no more difficulties. The rock is good and it really is one of the nicer ridges around here. Returned via the described upper path where there was still plenty of snow, so I used winter gear. Some pictures: https://picasaweb.google.com/114400986607884783562/6287633346086042657

Today on the way back I forgot my blue Camp helmet by the pool. If a friendly hiker finds it, he can let me know at 031771987 (or ZS) where I can at least buy him a beer.

On Sunday I'm going on this path, just wondering if anyone else is going so I could join them and have company? Lp
