Grintovec

For the last day today Grintavec, I planned Kočna too, but left it for another time, as in the morning it looked like not very nice weather, and thunder was heard from the Julian Alps. But today Grintavec was quite besieged, I descended via Kremžarjeva to Češka koča, enjoyed the scree when I was slipping down.

On Saturday 29.8. a visit to Turska gora from Logarska dolina was planned for two, but flu took care that I stayed alone the evening before departure.
Since I forgot to turn off the alarm and mosquitoes didn't let me rest, I got up in the middle of the night willy-nilly and drove towards Kamnik, exact goal not determined. Drive to Logarska dolina would be too long so I parked in Kamniška Bistrica and headed towards Kokrsko sedlo. On phone I quickly read possible accesses to Grintovec and hurried in the dark towards Kokrsko sedlo, where first morning rays awaited me.
Somehow I remembered that it's possible to the summit via more demanding, longer, marked path and back over the roof. Except that I have to walk towards Skuta through Mala Vratca I remembered nothing. Preparation like that.
When I stopped at the signs directing to Grintovec via roof, a friendly man caught up with me, to whom I explained the problem.
He taught me that to the summit leads path along the ridge and then climbing part on southeast side of Grintovec, but that the path is unmarked and up climbing I-II. Somehow it didn't add up for me, but he also planned that path and together we went left before Vratca, on barely visible trail.
Since he had slower pace, I continued alone. Path along ridge is really extremely beautiful and scenic. Trail quickly lost among sheep tracks, but here and there some old mark appeared. Below the ridge I then constantly observed the path about which I half-asleep read in the valley. At bivouac below Grintovec it turns towards Mlinarsko sedlo and then to Grintovec summit. But no marks for it from Kokrsko sedlo side. Weather was like in fairy tale and path very well traceable. Somewhat I was worried about climbing part, since I haven't walked paths without cables or pegs alone.
Turned out worry unnecessary, only entry to wall somewhat exposed then to summit no problems – wonderful with natural holds. Met no one.
Back I descended in extreme heat over the roof, many visitors. In the end I can say Grintovec welcomed me nicely, although before departure I didn't show respect, since I prepared poorly and at start from Kokrsko sedlo even thought about Skuta.
Thanks to the man who directed me to this nice path, the one past bivouac would be much longer. Most dangerous part of path was with car past Zbiljsko jezero, where Zbiljska night was ending and youth took the road…
Path I planned:

Hello, I'm interested in how long it would take for the path from Turska gora to Grintovec or Jezerska kočna with some medium pace and where I could overnight in between. We would start from Rinka then to Turska and then westwards.

If you start early you can do all in one day, otherwise you have bivouac below Grintovec, or Cojzova koča at Kokrsko sedlo. At both you have to descend a bit, they are not exactly on your path or ridge. Whatever you don't know, ask hikers, surely they will help or tell where those two overnight spots are

good luck

xxxyx, the solutions suggested by redbull are completely sensible.
If you walk at medium pace, you can drink deserved beer at one of these two points when sun is still high in afternoon sky.
