V Koncu - Skuta (via Kokrsko sedlo)

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 straight (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo). The road then past Žagana peč brings us to the parking lot at the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kokrsko sedlo.
Driving from the Koča in Kamniška Bistrica to the parking lot V Koncu is now forbidden (traffic sign), this extends the path by less than an hour.

Route description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway we head onto the footpath in the direction of Kokrsko sedlo and Grintovec. The path, which runs through the forest, initially ascends only gently, but this section of the path is short. Already after a few minutes of walking the path starts to ascend steeply and a little higher there are fixed safety aids, which come in handy on wet and slippery ground (in dry conditions undemanding). The well-visible and still steep path higher starts to turn slightly to the right. The steepness then eases for a short time and the path brings us out of the forest onto avalanche slopes below Kokrsko sedlo. Here the path becomes steep again and with ever more beautiful views (these are the most beautiful on the peaks above the valley of Kamniška Bistrica) ascends at the foot of the walls of Kalška gora and Mali vrh. Easily followable but due to a lot of stones (slightly overgrown scree) on the path strenuous, after good 2 hours of walking it brings us to Kokrsko sedlo, where Cojzova koča stands.
From the saddle we continue right in the direction of Grintovec, Kočna and Skuta. The path immediately above the saddle ascends steeply and a little higher brings us to a junction, where to the right branches the path to the bivouac under Grintovec and Skuta (straight Grintovec via Streha and Kočna). We take this initially somewhat less visible track, which in moderate ascent brings us to the picturesque passage over Mala vratca. Behind the narrow passage of Mali vratca the path starts descending on a steep and occasionally somewhat exposed slope. At the end of the descent, which takes us about 100 elevation meters, some pegs assist us. This is followed by crossing the gully and then ascent through high-mountain terrain to the bivouac under Grintovec.
From the bivouac we continue on the marked path, which quickly brings us to a junction. We continue straight in the direction of Skuta and Grintovec (right Kamniško sedlo, Rinke and Turska gora) on a relatively gentle path, which soon brings us to the next junction. We continue right in the direction of Skuta (straight Mlinarsko sedlo) on the path which through the karst terrain of Veliki podi brings us to the foot of a moderately steep wall. Here the path becomes vertical and with the help of natural holds we overcome the short wall between Dolgi hrbet and Štruca (in wet great risk of slipping). At the top of the ascent the path from Dolgega hrbeta joins from the left. We continue right, where then in a slight descent with the help of some pegs on the left side we bypass the summit of Štruca. The path then brings us to an indistinct saddle between Štruca and Skuta, from which in 15 minutes via the undemanding summit slope of Skuta we ascend to the summit.
