end of road - Rogatec (climbing way)

Access to starting point:
From Kamnik we drive towards Gornji Grad. At the chapel just a few dozen meters before Gornji Grad we turn left (direction Sveti Lenart). Further we drive on the road which goes along the stream upwards. The road then leaves the stream and brings us to a decaying wooden shack, where we continue ahead on the road towards the church. At the crossroad a few meters below the church we go left and follow the road, which makes a sharp right turn, to its end, where we park.
From the Štajerska side we first drive to Gornji Grad and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kamnik. Immediately after Gornji Grad we turn right (direction Sveti Lenart). Further, follow the above description.

Path description:
From the end of the road we cross a torrent and immediately after that the path steeply ascends and in zigzags brings us to an indistinct ridge. The path ahead ascends through the forest quite steeply upwards. After a good 20 minutes of ascent the steepness eases and the path in traversing brings us below the Kal saddle. A shorter ascent follows on a mostly muddy trail (exceptions are longer dry periods), which after a good five minutes brings us to the pastures on the Kal saddle. Just a few dozen meters to the right there is also a marked junction. We head straight following the Rogatec signs. The left path leads to the bivouac, which is just a few dozen meters distant from the junction. The right path leads to the mountain pasture Zg. Špeh.
The path then brings us into the forest, where there is also a sign »very demanding path«. The path turns slightly to the left and brings us to the entry into the climbing part of the path. The path steeply ascends the slope, which is partly rocky partly covered with grass, and then turns slightly to the right. It continues steeply ascending through sparse forest and brings us to the ridge, where a very nice view of the Kamnik Alps opens up. We head left, where at the beginning some pegs also assist us, then we ascend the unsecured ridge. The ridge is very panoramic in the first part, in the second part we enter the forest again through which we ascend steeply several times. Towards the end the forest becomes sparser and a few meters below the summit we come out of the forest, where a very nice view opens up again on all sides.
The climbing part of the path technically is not overly demanding, but it is not secured and therefore in wet conditions it is very dangerous for slipping.
