Iverje - Dom v Kamniški Bistrici (Koželjeva pot)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, then we continue driving in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica. In Stahovica (we can also get here via the mountain pass Črnivec or Volovjek), we continue left or right if coming from Črnivec or Volovjek, and follow the road ahead through the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. Soon after the large quarry, which we notice on the left side, we will notice by the road signs for Koželjeva pot, which direct us left over a small wooden bridge. Immediately behind the bridge or a few 10 meters ahead, we park on one of the smaller parking areas by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road which continues on the left side or right bank of the river Kamniška Bistrica. The road soon narrows a little and starts moderately ascending. After a few minutes it turns sharply to the left, and we follow it only to the beginning of the mentioned turn, where signs for Kamniška Bistrica via Koželjeva pot direct us onto a narrower and occasionally somewhat steeper path. The path ahead soon leads onto steep slopes that are mainly dangerous for slipping when wet. After a longer crossing of the slopes, the path slightly descends and brings us to a cart track, along which we continue for some time. The cart track soon turns into a footpath, which then crosses a few more quite steep slopes. The path ahead approaches the riverbed of the river Kamniška Bistrica completely, then turns left and ascends steep stairs. A short descent follows, and the path brings us to a macadam road that leads into the valley of Korošica. We only cross the mentioned road, as the blazes direct us into the forest, where already after a few meters over a small wooden bridge we cross the stream Korošica. The path ahead continues along the riverbed of the clear Kamniška Bistrica and ascends barely noticeably for quite some time. The path, which leads us past a large boulder, brings us after some time to the end of the gorges Predaselj. Here the marked path turns left and starts steeply ascending along the right bank of the aforementioned gorges. The path, which further on is exposed in some places, quickly brings us to a wooden bridge, from which there is a nice view of the gorges. Over the bridge we step for the first time onto the right side (left bank) of Kamniška Bistrica, then we ascend an exposed but fenced path. After a few 10 steps the steepness eases, and the path brings us to the next macadam road.
Here we can from the bridge also view the upper part of the gorges; otherwise, we continue along the marked path, which proceeds on the right side of Kamniška Bistrica (parallel to "our" path, another path continues on the left side, via which we can reach the Dom v Kamniški Bistrici). The path ahead continues through the forest and a little higher approaches the asphalt road completely. We continue on the marked footpath, which again turns somewhat left and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the Mali izvirek. The path ahead approaches a larger meadow on the left, then slowly turns towards the right, where after a few minutes of moderate ascent it joins the road leading to the Dom v Kamniški Bistrici. When we step onto the road, we soon cross the river Kamniška Bistrica over the bridge, and then ahead of us we already see the Dom v Kamniški Bistrici.
