Jermanca - Planjava (via Kamniško sedlo)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. From the hut in Kamniška Bistrica we continue driving on the forest road which brings us higher to a crossroad, where we continue right towards Jermanca (straight starting point for Kokrsko sedlo). We follow this occasionally somewhat steeper road to a parking lot, which is located a little before the end of the road.
Driving from the hut in Kamniška Bistrica to Jermanca is now forbidden (traffic sign), which extends the path by a good hour.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue along the road beside which we parked. After a few minutes, the road ends, and we continue on a footpath without major ascents or descents. The path which crosses a large number of gullies then joins the path from Kamniška Bistrica (lower starting point). Here pay attention on the descent, that we go on the path by which we came. Well-marked and relatively steep path, which for some time still ascends through the forest, brings us higher to a pleasant spring (in dry periods it dries up). From the spring a short ascent follows and the path brings us to the known resting place Pri Pastirjih, where an emergency bivouac stands.
We continue straight on the marked path, which then quickly emerges from the forest onto an expansive panoramic meadow. Behind the meadow, the path goes into a belt of dwarf pines, where it starts to ascend more steeply again. The path which ahead runs on the increasingly panoramic sun-exposed slope brings us after a good hour of walking from Pastirjih to the mountain hut Koča na Kamniškem sedlu.
At the mountain hut, we turn right towards the east in the direction of Planjava (left Brana, Turska gora and Okrešelj). The path ahead crosses scree (option for descent), then becomes technically demanding. The path then ascends a wide ledge and brings us into the wall of Planjava. Fixed safety gear helps us through ledges and gullies in which there is still snow in early summer to the upper less steep slopes of Planjava. The path ahead runs over high-mountain grasses and brings us to a junction, where we go left (right Korošica). We follow the path which in places becomes quite steep towards the summit of Planjava. Just a few minutes below the summit the path from Logarska dolina and Korošica joins from the right. The path, which from here is no longer demanding, quickly brings us to the panoramic summit.
