Kopišča - Kopa (Belska Kopa)

Access to starting point:
Through Kamnik we drive in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and the cableway to Velika planina. Past the lower cableway station we drive a few hundred meters further to a larger clearing, where there is the hamlet Kopišča. At the end of the clearing on the right there is a passing place and a turn-off of the cart track, where we park.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the cart track towards the east in a gentle ascent. Higher up the cart track turns towards the northeast and becomes increasingly rutted. Soon a well-beaten footpath branches off to the right from the cart track, which starts to ascend steeply on the slope of Kopa. Kopa is on our left side the whole time. Along the path we notice mine tunnels that remain from the extraction of bauxite in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The path becomes narrower; it is still relatively easy to follow. We arrive in the gully between Martinj Turn and Kopa; the path turns to the right slope, where it ascends steeply in zigzags. When we arrive below the walls, we turn left into the steep slope to the grassy ridge. Here the path is poorly visible because of the grass. Be careful where a barely visible path branches off to the left through steep grass, while the current path continues to Martinj steza. We go on the small footpath to the left (north), first horizontally, then in zigzags to the saddle above the valley of Bela. Here left towards the summit of Kopa, because of the fallen burnt trees just make your own way up the southern slope of the ridge. After 15 minutes we reach the summit.
