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 up to a crossroads, where we continue straight (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo). The road then brings us past Žagana peč to the parking lot at the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kokrsko sedlo.
Driving from the mountain hut in Kamniška Bistrica to the parking lot V Koncu is now forbidden (traffic sign), which extends the path by less than an hour.
Route description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway we head onto the initially gentle footpath in the direction of Kokrsko sedlo. The path first crosses a belt of shrubs, then enters a dense forest, where it starts to ascend more steeply. Higher up the forest becomes somewhat thinner, so some views open onto the surrounding peaks. The path, which continues steeply ascending, brings us higher to two successive steel cables (in dry completely undemanding), after which we reach a pleasant rest area with a bench.
The path continues back into the dense forest, then begins turning to the right, where the steepness eases for a short while. A little further the path leaves the forest, crosses an indistinct gully, and brings us to the scree slopes below Kokrsko sedlo. Here the path turns slightly left and begins steeply ascending a mostly rocky slope. A quite strenuous path (due to the scree), running below the walls of Kalška gora on the left and the less known Mali vrh on the right, finally brings us to Cojzova koča na Kokrskem sedlu amid ever finer views.

I saw on Saturday that they posted on Friday. I'm not always up there, that's why I asked before. The turica fit well. The little one had more trouble going down than up. A lot on the butt. If he had something under his butt, it would go faster.nasmeh

Is the road to Konca still closed? Or why is that?

The road is not closed, a nice forest road leads to the starting point, only the weather is bothering us..., good luck when the weather is bettermežikanje

It's not really closed, but there's a sign that traffic is prohibited for all vehicles. Does anyone know if they issue any fines?
tinky6. 08. 2014
You are already quite annoying about this road. The road is in good condition and the sign is no longer there. This year I have already been 5x to Jermanci and 5x at the lower station. Maybe if money bothers you, you can bring it to me. And a picture so you will be calm.
tinky6. 08. 2014
You can see the picture in current conditions, Kamniško sedlo page 28.
gofra29. 09. 2014
I did it yesterday with the dogs up late afternoon, around 5 pm. I have to admit the first part of the path is really somewhat unpleasant, but the upper part is personally very beautiful to me. In the nice surroundings you quickly forget the loose terrain and steepness nasmeh Definitely going again...

The path is not demanding - but at a faster pace it nicely clears the lungs. On descent when damp, concentration is needed.

hi! Has anyone been up there these days already? I'm interested how much snow is left on the path?
redbull4. 04. 2015
e.g. today gaiters weren't needed. there is enough snow below the saddle for vertical ascent, as it's trampled

good luck
tomek0912. 06. 2015
We'd like to go up on 4.6, what's the situation? Has anyone been up? Possible with car to the parking lot? Thanks!
korošc2. 06. 2015
Today I was up there. Path without problems - there are small snow patches but can be all bypassed. With car possible to the parking lot at the cable car.

Has anyone been up there recently? What are the conditions? eek
rokjohan127. 01. 2016
Check the current conditions section, and under Grintavec. Everything is written there.

rokjohan thanks
I was on Kokrsko today, from Klopca onwards there is still quite a bit of ice and snow. But you can go slowly and carefully, no problem

Is the hut at Kokrsko sedlo still closed and will it be tomorrow too?zmeden

Yes, it will be closed....it will be open at Kamniško sedlo. Tomorrow and Sunday.

Hi, is the path to Brana from the saddle already dry?
rokjohan121. 05. 2016
That's not Kamniško sedlo. Otherwise it's not dry towards Brana. To Cojzova the last approx. 100 elevation meters have snow. Lp
AC19. 06. 2016
Hut open. Few people and nice weather. All clear of snow.
Gašper Pančur17. 07. 2016
The path is very nice, but when the forest ends it gets very STEEP and very slippery on the rocks too.velik nasmeh

Today I was up there. I started from Kamniška Bistrica, although the road to the lower station of the cable car at V Koncu is in good condition. However, the walk there didn't hurt, and along the way I also checked how the road closure is beyond Dom v Kamniški Bistrici. Here's how it is: at the junction where the forest path to Kokrško sedlo branches off from the road leading towards Jermanci or the lower station of the cable car to Kokrško sedlo, there is a no-entry sign, but it is facing the opposite direction, so the question is whether it applies. Anyway, it could serve as an argument when arguing with wardens if someone gets fined for parking at V Koncu. However, let this not sound like an invitation to drive there by car, as in my opinion there is no need for it. The path there takes maybe half an hour of slightly faster walking, and back even much faster since the path descends all the way. Plus, you can cast an eye on Kalški greben, which won't be possible from the car. And finally, why pollute nature with exhausts if there's no need. For those who would also walk this part of the trail, here's this link: Kamniška Bistrica - Kokrško sedlo. The description is good, but don't get confused by the second junction (the first is the one already described at the traffic sign), where the sign points left towards the memorial park and Široki žleb. There you go RIGHT, as also written in the description, even though there is no additional sign for Kokrško sedlo, right after the junction there is a large rock on the path that is not in the picture in the description.

Otherwise, the ascent itself is quite strenuous due to the considerable steepness and especially the path itself, which in the lower part runs over rocks that are quite slippery when wet, in the upper part over a mixture of scree, sand and rocks, which is also not the most pleasant for walking. There is also some snow in places, so some caution is needed. But the descent is much, much faster. Crampons were not necessary, poles sufficed. The path is also sufficiently well marked and trodden so there are no major orientation problems. But here and there markings appear that lead in two directions, as they obviously remained from the time before the ice storm. There is also some fallen timber on the path and the foresters haven't bothered much with removing it (question how feasible that even is), so the markers and path keepers have rerouted it a bit differently. In such cases, just look around a little and the ambiguity ends quickly. I also didn't notice that protection shown in pictures No. 7 and 8 above, but I didn't look for it much either.

But at least in such conditions, the path is technically undemanding and suitable even for a complete beginner, if they have enough fitness. Still, compared to the ascent to Kamniško sedlo, I would attribute to this ascent a shade higher difficulty, mainly because of the described. But this path may be a bit shorter. The hut is normally closed at this time, but today it was exceptionally open because the caretaker was up there doing some work. He kindly welcomed everyone who came up, and on top of that treated them to delicious blueberries. Good luck, as there was a very strong and piggishly cold wind blowing on the saddle. Hats off to such caretakers.
andrej7818. 11. 2016
Mi2 also passed by here yesterday to Grintovec... the hut was open because AO Kamnik is preparing a celebration for induction among alpinists... meaning by chance and otherwise it won't be open...
rasto_r28. 08. 2017
In Kamniška Bistrica no driving ban sign is visible. Anyway, you couldn't even park there due to the crowd. Over the weekend everything was parked from Žagana peč to the cable car. Otherwise, a bit further from Kamniška Bistrica there is a separate sign showing which road to take by car to V Koncu.
lanževica28. 08. 2017
The driving ban sign was removed on Friday. I just drove past at that time...
N3bULA29. 08. 2017
I walked the path this evening, the road to the lower cable car station is OPEN, and quite normally drivable, I have a low Honda Civic, but no problems.

I did the path in under 2 hours, but it's really one of the steeper ones I've seen lately, so I really strained my knees nasmeh.

Does anyone know if the hut is open? I would go up tomorrow... Best regards to all nasmeh

They are currently logging above the lower cable car station and in the first few minutes of walking the path crosses the new forest road twice. The crossings are well made and visible. Higher up, old wooden supports are being replaced with new ones.

Last week (31.7.) the road was fine, no potholes and it was possible to reach the cableway without problems. But at 6 a.m. the parking lot up there was already full. Regards
