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 junction, 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 hut in Kamniška Bistrica to the parking lot V Koncu is now forbidden (traffic sign), this extends the path by less than an hour.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway we head on the footpath in the direction of Kokrsko sedlo and Grintovec. The path which runs through the forest is at first only gently ascending, but this part of the path is short. Already after a few minutes of walking, the path starts ascending steeply and a little higher we have fixed safety gear to help, which comes in handy when the ground is wet and slippery (when dry undemanding). Well visible and still steep path higher starts turning a little towards the right. The steepness then eases for a short time and the path brings us out of the forest on scree slopes below Kokrsko sedlo. Here the path becomes steep again and with increasingly beautiful views (those are the most beautiful on peaks above the valley of Kamniška Bistrica) it ascends by the foot of the walls of Kalška gora and Mali vrh. Easy to follow, but because of a lot of stones (slightly overgrown scree) on the path strenuous path, after good 2 hours of walking 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 steeply ascends and a little higher brings us to a junction, where to the right branches path to bivak pod Grintovcem and Skuta (straight Grintovec over Streha and Kočna). We go on this at first a little poorly visible footpath which in moderate ascent brings us to scenic passage over Mala vratca. After the narrow passage Mala vratca, the path starts descending on a steep and occasionally slightly exposed slope. At the end of the descent, which takes approximately 100 height meters, some pegs help us. Next follows crossing of the gully and then ascent on high mountain terrain to bivak pod Grintovcem.
From the bivak we continue on 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 gently sloping path, which soon brings us to the next junction. We continue right in the direction of Skuta (straight Mlinarsko sedlo) on the path which over karst terrain of Velikih podov brings us to the foot of moderately steep wall. Here the path becomes steep and with the help of natural holds we overcome a shorter wall between Dolg hrbet and Štruca (in wet great risk of slipping). On the top of the ascent from the left joins the path from Dolg hrbet. We continue right on marked path, which a little further we leave. At the spot where the marked path starts descending, we continue right (direction south) and continue the ascent on easier pathless terrain. Pathless terrain is short and in good weather orientationally undemanding.
