Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, then we continue driving in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and the cableway to Velika planina. In Stahovica we continue left (direction Kamniška Bistrica and cableway Velika planina) on the moderately ascending road, then we follow past the lower cableway station to Velika planina. Only a few 100 m ahead from the cableway to Velika planina, we reach a smaller hamlet named Kopišča. Here we turn right and then we park at an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a cart track which gently ascends through the forest. Higher the cart track becomes quite rough and gradually starts to ascend steeper and steeper. A bit higher, we will notice an old hunting path, which branches off from the cart track and then starts relatively steeply ascending. The path, which moderately to steeply ascends through the forest, higher brings us to old mining tunnels. The path ahead passes onto steep but still forest-covered grassy slopes. Further, the footpath for a short time flattens, then in zigzags starts steeply ascending through the forest. Higher, we come to the foot of very steep slopes, where with the help of a smaller wooden bridge we step into rocky terrain. Over a short very steep step a steel cable helps, and the path then passes onto steep and especially in wet slippery-dangerous grassy slopes. A little further, the path completely flattens, then for quite some time crosses the slopes towards the right.
The path ahead brings us to a nice viewpoint, after which the path soon passes onto a cart track and then past the hunting cottage brings us to a macadam road, on which in a few minutes we walk to the mountain pasture Dol, where there is a marked junction.
We continue left in the direction of Konj (right Velika planina) and continue the path across a gently sloping meadow, over which we ascend to the edge of the forest. The path ahead passes into the forest, where it turns right and gradually starts ascending steeper and steeper. Follows approximately 20 minutes of steep ascent through the forest, then the path brings us to a smaller viewpoint. Here the path turns left and also flattens somewhat. We continue on a moderately steep path, where from increasingly sparse forest we soon pass into the belt of dwarf pines. Follows a short ascent on a well-trodden path through dwarf pines and the path brings us to the mountain pasture Rzenik, on the edge of which we notice a shepherd's hut.
From the hut we continue on the marked path towards Konj (slightly left Rzenik via the western path, the path to Rzenik is not marked), which quickly brings us among dwarf pines. We continue the ascent on a moderately steep path, which still leads through dwarf pines. Higher the path brings us right by the main ridge, the path here turns right and continues ascending through dwarf pines. Only a few 10 steps of walking remain and the increasingly panoramic path quickly brings us to the summit of Konj.
The stamp box is located somewhat lower, namely in the direction towards Presedljaj. A short steep descent on a secured climbing path separates us from it.
