Access to starting point:
From Kamnik we drive towards Kamniška Bistrica. Soon at the beginning of the valley, immediately after the large quarry we notice big wooden sign, which marks the beginning of the path Koželjeva pot. A sign points left over the bridge. Behind it by the macadam path there are some parking spots.
Path description:
Here is described unmarked path through the valley of Potok. The valley is squeezed between Grohat and Hudi Konci. Except the forest and the forest road there isn't anything in it. Even stream Potok in dry periods likes to hide among stones. It should be added, that on some maps Potok is wrongly marked with name Grohat, which is otherwise the name of the hill.
Immediately behind the bridge the valley Potok opens. At this spot there is a crossing of three mountain paths. The path Koželjeva pot goes on a macadam by the right bank of the river towards the mountain hut Dom v Kamniški Bistrici. Left goes forest path into a valley of Potok. And between them goes steep uphill less noticeable footpath which leads through Hudi Konci on Kamniški vrh.
This time we turn left on the forest road which all the time sticks to a riverbed, few times goes from one bank to another, several paths or forest cart tracks branches off in both direction but it isn't hard to follow the main road. At the end it is appropriate only for tractors and mountain boots. Stream becomes a well and when even the well vanishes it is time, that we turn to the left, on a cart track which goes on neighbouring bank almost in the opposite direction. We could otherwise still continue in the same direction and follow a small valley right into a gable, but there is pathless terrain and quite steep hill. I already tried this variant, but i can't recomend it, because it wasn't a useful shortcut. We rather go to the left on a gentle forest path, when the stream Potok vanishes.
The path is gentle and when comes on a ridge it joins the other forest road. Here we turn right and we are already on a marked path, which goes from Stahovica on Kamniški vrh. We leave the forest road on an indistinct saddle, just before the path turns downwards, we turn left uphill. The footpath is clearly visible. We need to be aware, that we are already in the area of Kamniški vrh, where there is countless footpaths. Be careful, that we stay on the most beaten and only marked path. We soon come to a crossing marked with metal signposts. The right path is the shortest and the steepest. Unfortunately mountaineers and erosion already damaged it, that it is better to avoid it. It is better to go straight on smartly routed footpath diagonally on a steep south slope. It brings us right to the top of Roža on the saddle between Planjava and Kamniški vrh. We turn right upwards on the ridge and we are soon on the top.
