V Koncu - Turska gora (via Žmavčarji)

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 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 cargo cableway station to Kokrsko sedlo.
Driving from the mountain hut 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 continue on an increasingly rough road which after 10 minutes of walking changes into a cart track. The cart track splits into two parts, and we take the right one (left cart track vanishes, or leads towards Gamsov skret), which by the smaller boulder covered with moss (big rock) turns a little more to the right. Right at this spot we leave the cart track and continue straight on at first a poorly visible footpath which later steeply ascends in zig-zags. Steep and mainly in wet slippery-dangerous path leads us over steep slopes, which on some spots are secured with a steel cable. Steep path, which also crosses a few gullies, brings us higher to less steep slopes. After a good hour of walking, the path brings us out of the forest, where it starts to ascend steeply again. The path first leads over grassy slopes surrounded by thin forest, then with the help of some fixed safety gear brings us a level higher. The path ahead passes onto gravel slopes, which somewhat complicate the ascent, then the path turns left onto steep grassy slopes rising above extensive scree fields. At the top of this grassy part we head slightly right and the path transitions from grass to high-mountain terrain of ledges below Skuta. Further along the path surrounded by cairns we reach the pleasant bivouac below Skuta in a few minutes.
From the bivouac we continue on a poorly visible and still unmarked path along an indistinct small ridge, which after 15 minutes of walking from the bivouac brings us to the marked path Kamniško sedlo - Kokrsko sedlo. Here we continue right and after a few minutes we reach a path junction, where we continue on the lower right path in the direction of Turska gora (left Rinke). The path then starts to descend and after a few minutes brings us to the top of Turski žleb. We continue straight (left downwards Okrešelj) on an increasingly panoramic path, which with the help of some pegs brings us to the summit ridge of Turska gora, which we then follow to the summit. Walking along the ridge when dry presents no major difficulties, but in snow on the summit ridge there is a high risk of slipping.
V Koncu - bivouac below Skuta 3:00, bivouac below Skuta - Turska gora 1:15.
