V Koncu - Brana (via Turska gora)

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 up to a crossroad, where we continue straight (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo saddle). The road then past Žagana peč brings us to the parking lot at the lower cargo cableway station to Kokrsko sedlo saddle.
Driving from the mountain hut in Kamniška Bistrica to the parking lot V Koncu is now forbidden (traffic sign), this extends the path by almost an hour.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway we continue on an increasingly poor road, which after 10 minutes of walking turns into a cart track. The cart track splits into two parts, and we head for the right one (the left cart track disappears, or leads towards Gamsov skret), which at a smaller boulder covered with moss (big rock) turns even a bit more to the right. Right at this spot we leave the cart track and continue straight on an initially poorly visible footpath, which later ascends steeply in zigzags. The steep and especially in wet dangerous for slipping path leads us across steep slopes, which at some points are secured with a steel cable. The steep path, which also crosses a few gullies, brings us higher to less steep slopes. After a good hour of walking the path brings us out of the forest, where it starts to ascend steeply again. The path first leads across grassy slopes surrounded by sparse forest, then with the help of some fixed protections brings us a level higher. The path ahead transitions to gravel slopes, which somewhat complicate the ascent for us, then the path turns left onto steep grassy slopes that rise above extensive scree fields. At the top of this grassy section we head slightly right and the path transitions from grass to high-alpine terrain of the basins below Skuta. Further along the path marked with cairns we reach a pleasant bivouac below Skuta in a few minutes.
From the bivouac we continue on a poorly visible and still unmarked path along an indistinct little ridge, which after 15 minutes of walking from the bivouac brings us to the marked path Kamniško sedlo - Kokrsko sedlo. Here we continue right and already after a few minutes we reach a path junction, where we continue on the right lower path in the direction of Turska gora (left Rinke). The path then starts to descend and after a few minutes brings us to the top of Turski žleb. We continue straight (left downward Okrešelj) along an increasingly scenic path, which with the help of some pegs brings us to the summit ridge of Turska gora, which we then follow to the summit. Walking along the ridge when dry presents no major difficulties, but in snow there is a high risk of slipping on the summit ridge.
From the summit we continue on the path that starts to descend (direction Kamniško sedlo). The path, which already after a few steps starts to descend steeply, is well secured but at some points quite exposed. The path, which is constantly exposed to falling rocks, then brings us to a natural blowhole (sod brez dna). Further on we reach the sharp notch called Kotliči, beyond which the path starts to ascend gradually and after a while brings us to a junction, where we continue right steeply upward in the direction of Brana (straight Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead ascends ever more steeply along the shady slopes of Brana. The steep and at key points secured path, which is not particularly demanding, soon brings us into a smaller gully, up which we climb with some free climbing to a nice viewpoint. Here we continue sharply right along the path, which after a further 10 steps brings us to the summit slope of Brana. Here the steepness eases and a nice scenic undemanding path brings us to the spacious summit in a few minutes.
