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 higher brings us to a crossroad, where we continue straight (right Jermanca, starting point for saddle Kamniško sedlo). The road then past the boulder Žagana peč brings us to the parking lot at the bottom cargo cableway station to a saddle Kokrsko sedlo.
Driving from the mountain hut in Kamniška Bistrica to the parking lot V Koncu is now forbidden (traffic sign), this extends the path for a little less than an hour.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway we continue on increasingly rough road which after 10 minutes of walking changes into a cart track. Cart track splits into two parts, and we go on the right one (left cart track vanishes, or leads towards Gamsov skret), which by the smaller boulder covered with moss (big rock) turns a little more to the right. Right on this spot we leave the cart track and we continue straight on at first a poorly visible footpath which is later steeply ascending in zig-zags. Steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous path leads us over steep slopes, which are on some spots secured with a steel cable. Steep path, which also crosses few gullies higher brings us 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 at first leads over grassy slopes surrounded by thin forest and then with the help of some fixed safety gear brings us level higher. The path ahead passes on gravel slopes, which makes the ascent a little more difficult, and then the path turns to the left on steep grassy slopes, which are rising above ample scree. On the top of this grassy part we go a little right and the path passes over from grass to high mountain terrain below Skuta. Further, on with cairns surrounded path in few minutes we come to a pleasant bivouac below Skuta.
From the bivouac, we continue on a poorly visible and still unmarked path on an indistinct small ridge, which after 15 minutes of walking from the bivouac brings us on a marked path Kamniško sedlo - Kokrsko sedlo. Here we continue right and already after few minutes we come to a crossing, where we continue on the right bottom path in the direction of Turska gora (left - Rinke). The path then starts descending and after few minutes brings us to the top of Turski žleb. We continue straight (left downwards - Okrešelj) on an increasingly panoramic path, which with the help of some iron spikes brings us on the upper ridge of Turska gora which we then follow to the peak. A walk on the ridge in dry doesn't represent bigger problems, in snow on the upper ridge there is a great risk of slipping.
From the top, we continue on the path which starts descending (direction Kamniško sedlo). The path which already after few steps starts descending steeply is well secured, but on some spots quite exposed. The path which is all the time exposed to falling stones then brings us to natural draught-hole (Sod brez dna / Bottomless barrel). Ahead we get to sharp notch named Kotliči, behind which the path starts gradually ascending and eventually brings us to a crossing, where we continue right steeply upwards in the direction of Brana (straight - Kamniško sedlo). The path ahead is ascending steeper on the shady slopes of Brana. Steep and on the key spots secured path, which isn't very demanding soon brings us into a smaller gully, through which with some easy climbing we ascend on a nice vantage point. Here we continue sharply right on the path which after some additional 10 strides it brings us on the upper slope of Brana. Here the steepness decreases and a nice panoramic undemanding path in few minutes brings us on an ample peak.
V Koncu - bivouac below Skuta 3:00, bivouac below Skuta - Turska gora 1:15, Turska gora - Brana 1:30.
