V Koncu - Grintovec (via Kokrsko and Mlinarsko sedlo)

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 junction, where we continue straight (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo). The road then brings us past Žagana peč to the parking lot at the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kokrsko sedlo.
Driving from the mountain hut in Kamniška Bistrica to the parking lot V Koncu is now forbidden (traffic sign), which extends the 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 section of the path is short. Already after a few minutes of walking, the path starts to ascend steeply and a little higher, fixed safety gear assists us, which is useful on wet and slippery ground (dry: undemanding). The well-visible and still steep path then turns somewhat to the right higher up. The steepness eases for a short time and the path brings us out of the forest onto scree slopes below Kokrsko sedlo. Here the path steepens again and ascends at the foot of the walls of Kalška gora and Mali vrh amid ever finer views (the finest on the peaks above the Kamniška Bistrica valley). Easy to follow but due to the many stones (slightly overgrown scree) on the path, a strenuous trail 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 steeply ascends immediately above the saddle and brings us a little higher to a junction, where the path to the bivouac under Grintovec and Skuta branches right (straight to Grintovec via Streha and Kočna). We take this initially slightly less visible pathlet, which brings us in moderate ascent to the picturesque passage over Mala vratca. Behind the narrow passage of Mala vratca, the path starts descending on a steep and occasionally somewhat exposed slope. At the end of the descent, which costs about 100 meters of elevation, a few pegs assist us. This is followed by traversing the gully and then ascent through high-mountain terrain to the bivouac under Grintovec.
From the bivouac we continue on the marked path, which quickly brings us to a junction. We continue straight in the direction of Skuta and Grintovec (right to Kamniško sedlo, Rinke and Turska gora) on a relatively gentle path, which soon brings us to the next junction. Again we take the left path (right to Skuta), which leads us further over karst terrain full of limestone pavements and sinkholes. Further on, we carefully follow the blazes, which after a short ascent bring us to Mlinarsko sedlo, where the path from Jezersko joins. We continue left in the direction of Grintovec (right to Dolgi hrbet and Skuta) on a path that becomes technically demanding. The path leads us along and beside a locally exposed ridge, then switches to the shady side of the ridge, where it becomes somewhat more difficult, but numerous fixed safety gear assist us. The path, which in the upper part is exposed to falling rocks, brings us after about 1 hour of walking from Mlinarsko sedlo to the summit.
I recommend descent via Streha Grintovca.
