V Koncu - Grintovec (via Dolge stene)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. From Dom v Kamniški Bistrici we continue driving on the forest road, which higher up brings us to a crossroad, where we continue straight (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo). The road then past Žagana peč brings us to the parking lot at the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kokrsko sedlo.
Driving from Koča v Kamniški Bistrici to the parking lot V Koncu is now forbidden (traffic sign), this extends our path by less than an hour.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway we head onto the footpath in the direction of Kokrsko sedlo and Grintovec. The path, which runs through the forest, initially ascends only gently, but this part of the path is short. Already after a few minutes of walking, the path starts to ascend steeply and a little higher there are fixed safety gear to help us, which come in handy on wet and slippery ground (when dry undemanding). The well-visible and still steep path higher starts to turn somewhat to the right. The steepness then eases for a short time and the path brings us out of the forest onto avalanche slopes below Kokrsko sedlo. Here the path stands upright again and ascends at the foot of the walls of Kalška gora and Mali vrh with ever more beautiful views (these are the most beautiful on the peaks above the valley of Kamniška Bistrica). Easy to follow but due to a lot of stones (slightly overgrown scree) on the path, strenuous path brings us after a good 2 hours of walking to Kokrsko sedlo, where Cojzova koča stands.
From the saddle we continue right in the direction of Grintovec, Kočna and Skuta. The path immediately above the saddle ascends steeply and a little higher brings us to a junction, where the path to the bivouac under Grintovec and Skuta branches off to the right (straight to Grintovec via Streha and Kočna). We head onto this initially somewhat poorly visible track, which in a moderate ascent brings us to the scenic passage over Mala vratca. Right before the passage over Mala vratca we turn left, where occasionally we spot a poorly visible track that leads along the ridge of Dolge stene. When we reach the first ridge, a view opens towards Grintovec. From here onwards we follow the relatively level grassy path along the ridge, orientation in nice weather is not difficult. On the right side the terrain drops steeply to Velike Pode, we also spot the bivouac of Pavle Kemperle below Grintovec. After an hour and a half of walking we reach the most demanding part of the path. From here the path steeply rises into the southeast wall of Grintovec, which then ends in the cirque Zgornje jame. The initial entry is practically invisible, we must only take care to stay somewhat to the left, as the right part is more demanding. The terrain is very crumbly, so caution is necessary. Here we cross a smaller jump and turn somewhat left towards the ridge. After 30 minutes we reach the ridge, and the path becomes easier. Here a view opens towards Mlinarsko sedlo and Skuta. We cross left (cairns) and follow the track to the usual path via Streha some 10 m below the summit of Grintovec. A short ascent follows on the marked path and soon we reach the summit.
