Can someone suggest a two-day tour in the Kamniks?

One of countless options:
Logarska dolina - hut at Okrešelj - Kamniško sedlo - Brana and/or Turska gora and/or Rinke - Cojzova hut at Kokrsko sedlo... Overnight, next day:
Grintavec - J. Kočna - Češka koča - hut at Ledine - Savinjsko sedlo - hut at Okrešelj - start..
The path can also be started from the other direction (Češka koča)..

Or this one: Suhadolnik and over Taško to Kokrsko sedlo. From here continue towards Mlinarsko sedlo and over Dolgi Hrbet to Skuta. Then towards Rinka and to Ledine and sleep there.
Next day: from Ledine to Češka koča, to Grintovec, from there to both Kočne and back to start via Dolce.

One nice variant:
Day 1: Dom v Kamniški Bistrici - Bela - Presedlaj - Korošica - Ojstrica - Planjava - Kamniško sedlo (overnight)
Day 2: Kamniško sedlo - Turska gora - Skuta - Dolgi hrbet - Grintovec - Kokrško sedlo - Dom v Kamniški Bistrici.

With a friend we're planning a two-day trip in KSA. We'd start from Logarska, the tour should obligatorily include the path Kamniško sedlo - Logarska dolina. Of course, we don't want to hike the same paths both ways . We're toying with this variant:
1. day: Logarska dolina - Klemenča jama - Ojstrica - Korošica (sleep)
2. day: Korošica - Planjava - Kamniško sedlo - Logarska dolina
Fitness-wise, this isn't a big deal and shouldn't be a problem for us. But I'm worried about the difficulty of the path. We're not exactly beginners, but we don't have much experience with difficult and very difficult paths either. As far as we've seen, the tour can be done only on difficult paths and avoid very difficult ones. I have some issues with exposed sections, if the path is narrow and without protection. I'd prefer no such sections on the path. We don't know the paths, as from these areas we've only been to Okrešelj, I think.
Would anyone bother to write a few sentences about what we can expect? Since there are several variants on this path, I'm interested in your opinion, which of the possible variants would be the least demanding? Van Sims wrote somewhere that the descent from Kamniško sedlo to Logarska is tricky and not well protected (that worries me quite a bit) - what's your opinion? Have we set the basic order well, or would it be better (easier) to switch days and descend to Logarska from Ojstrica?
I'll be extremely grateful for any info and opinion!

Maybe it would be better to do the path in the opposite direction.
Easier for you the ascent from Okrešelj to Kamniško sedlo. And you'll test yourselves. If you make it to Kamniško, the rest shouldn't pose any special problems..
Overnight at Korošica and in the morning to Ojstrica. Descend from Ojstrica to Klemenča over Škarje. This way you avoid Kopinškova and consequently the nasty ascent. To Škarje, the ascent over scree is quite nasty, especially if it's hot.
I hope I helped.

I also think it would be much more pleasant to do the tour the other way. Over Škarje to Ojstrica is a very looong ascent, and with the temperatures these days also very strenuous if you don't start the tour very early.
The path to Kamniško sedlo up or down is nothing special, so no need to fear. There's enough protection, especially where there's exposed part.
If you have issues with exposure maybe the shortcut connecting Kamniško sedlo with the start of ascent to Planjava is a bit more demanding. But I believe you'll manage ;-)
You've planned a nice and interesting tour, just make sure to do it early enough, as it can be very hot during the day.
Safe steps, and after we're waiting for report with pictures ;-)

Thanks for the kind help, geppo and zico10! We've listened to the suggestion to go the opposite way and we'll seriously consider it.
Can I ask also if the path from Okrešlj to Kamniško sedlo is harder than say Slovenska to Ledine? And what's the descent from Ojstrica to Škarje?
Zico10, that shortcut you mention on the way to Planjava - isn't secured? How long is it?
We're going only next weekend, hopefully temperatures will cool a bit by then, of course in summer you need to start early for several reasons and we'll take that into account. Description of experience with pictures will definitely follow!

No, Okrešlj-Kamniško path is easier. There's no real climbing anywhere on it, although occasionally a bit exposed. But watch out for looots of scree.
The Kamniško-Planjava shortcut of course not constantly secured, but where needed, it is. No need to be afraid.
Ojstrica-Škarje - hard to say here, because it's been a long time since I was there. As far as I remember, except scree no problems. But really, don't take my word for it.

Descent from Ojstrica is gravelly and then some pegs and cables before Škarje.
Like everywhere in mountains: slowly, carefully, without rushing and you can manage everywhere.
good luck to you both, without fear and it'll be fine...

Bravo Enka, the more you hike such paths, the sooner you'll get used and soon won't turn back anywhere. Čop said the eye must get used to the depth too, then it goes. Good luck and careful especially on scree fields!

Praiseworthy and sufficiently self-critical. Best to rotate pics already in the file you'll select from.

Congrats @Enka for the tour. Shame you turned back below Ojstrica summit, since you did a much tougher part the day before (my opinion).

But under Planjava I don't think I'll wander again
Ugh, such statements about mountains (and other stuff) better avoid ...
