Access to starting point:
a) We drive to Kamnik, then follow the signs for Kamniška Bistrica and Črnivec Pass. In Stahovica at the traffic light intersection we turn left towards Kamniška Bistrica (straight ahead Črnivec Pass) and drive to Dom v Kamniški Bistrici. We bypass the mountain hut on the right side. The asphalt ends a little higher up, from there we continue on a gravel road that soon forks. We keep to the lower left road (right leads to the footpath towards Kokrsko sedlo), and at intersections we follow the signs for Grintovec. We park at the parking lot by the lower station of the freight cable car to Kokrsko sedlo. Driving and parking beyond the freight cable car is prohibited (there is no prohibition sign, but fines of €1,000 are regularly issued). In winter, driving from Koča v Kamniški Bistrici to the parking lot V Koncu is prohibited by a traffic sign, which extends the route by almost an hour.
b) From the direction of Gornji Grad we drive to Črnivec Pass, then start descending towards Kamnik. When we reach Stahovica, at the traffic light intersection we turn right towards Kamniška Bistrica (straight ahead Kamnik) and drive to Dom v Kamniški Bistrici. We bypass the mountain hut on the right side. The asphalt ends a little higher up, from there we continue on a gravel road that soon forks. We keep to the lower left road (right leads to the footpath towards Kokrsko sedlo), and at intersections we follow the signs for Grintovec. We park at the parking lot by the lower station of the freight cable car to Kokrsko sedlo. Driving and parking beyond the freight cable car is prohibited (there is no prohibition sign, but fines of €1,000 are regularly issued). In winter, driving from Koča v Kamniški Bistrici to the parking lot V Koncu is prohibited by a traffic sign, which extends the route by almost an hour.
c) From Luče we drive to Podvolovljek, then on a steep road we ascend to Volovljek Pass (the pass is also known as Kranjski Rak after the inn there). From there we start descending towards Kamnik. Lower down we join the road from Črnivec Pass, where we turn right downhill. When we reach Stahovica, at the traffic light intersection we turn right towards Kamniška Bistrica (straight ahead Kamnik) and drive to Dom v Kamniški Bistrici. We bypass the mountain hut on the right side. The asphalt ends a little higher up, from there we continue on a gravel road that soon forks. We keep to the lower left road (right leads to the footpath towards Kokrsko sedlo), and at intersections we follow the signs for Grintovec. We park at the parking lot by the lower station of the freight cable car to Kokrsko sedlo. Driving and parking beyond the freight cable car is prohibited (there is no prohibition sign, but fines of €1,000 are regularly issued). In winter, driving from Koča v Kamniški Bistrici to the parking lot V Koncu is prohibited by a traffic sign, which extends the route by almost an hour.
Route description:
From the parking lot we head left onto the marked footpath towards Cojzova koča on Kokrsko sedlo, Grintovec and Skuta (straight unmarked paths across Gamsov skret and Žmavčarje). The path initially leads along the right side of the cargo cableway but soon enters the forest, through which it begins to ascend first moderately, then quite steeply. The well-maintained path higher up brings us to a short, steeper step. Two short steel cables used to be installed here but have been removed. In dry conditions the passage is not demanding, though a little more caution is needed especially on the descent and when wet.
Above the steep section we reach a bench where we can take a short rest. The path then continues for some time through the forest. After crossing a torrent we first enter a belt of low trees, then pass under the cliffs of Mali vrh (1915 m), where there is increased risk of falling rocks especially in spring and after rain.
Further on the path becomes more gravelly and steep, which may require some extra energy. In return we are rewarded with wonderful views of the mountains above the Kamniška Bistrica valley, with the imposing walls of nearby Kalška gora standing out. A few more transverse ascents across scree follow, after which the rocky path turns onto scenic grassy slopes. Along these we ascend to Kokrsko sedlo, where we see the mountain hut on the left and, straight ahead, a fine view into the Kokra river valley.
From Kokrsko sedlo we continue right towards Grintovec, Skuta and Kamniško sedlo via Sleme (left Kalška gora, Kalški greben and Krvavec, straight down Kokra and Suhadolnik). We first ascend quite steeply on slopes rising north of the saddle. After ten minutes the gradient eases and we reach a marked junction, where we turn left towards Grintovec and Kočna (right leads towards Kamniško sedlo and Skuta).
The path ahead continues for a short time with a gentle transverse ascent to the left, followed by a short transverse descent to the Spodnje Jame plain. From there we begin a transverse ascent on a steep slope until we reach the junction on Ovnov čer. Here we continue right upwards (the left path leads towards Dolci and Jezerska Kočna).
Further on we continue steep ascent for some time on a partly grassy path offering exceptional views. The terrain then becomes increasingly rocky and the path brings us onto the broad Streha of Grintovec. Here too we ascend steeply; on certain sections the marked trail is harder to follow as several paths have been trodden, though most lead towards the summit. Higher up we reach the eastern edge of Streha, then continue a little left of the edge for the final ascent of approximately 200 vertical metres. The last metres below the summit the slope flattens and the ridge narrows slightly. We walk along it to the registration box and viewpoint plaque on the highest peak of the Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe.
In winter the entire route is markedly exposed to avalanches and there is also a high risk of slipping.

Starting point - Kokrsko sedlo 2:30, Kokrsko sedlo - junction above the saddle 0:10, junction above the saddle - Ovnov čer 0:40, Ovnov čer - Grintovec 1:25.

Good trail description, technically undemanding, but the ascent to Cojzova koča can be a bit psychologically challenging. Cojzova koča has been extensively renovated, the waitress is super friendly. On the rocky section before the summit, markers are sometimes no longer visible, but you can't miss it, the summit is obvious. At the summit it's superb. nasmeh
The road is currently open all the way to Konca.
deyagrey6. 09. 2022 08:23:54
@bbugari1 - bivouacs are not intended for tourist overnight stays, but are placed to provide shelter in extreme emergencies! That's why they don't provide comfort - i.e. beds. For that there are huts, which you also pay for!
bbugari16. 09. 2022 14:04:16
First post after six years on the forum, and then this???
Where did I say or hint at tourist overnighting, or multiple consecutive nights in a bivouac???
Come on, go back to hibernation.
Kanjanez25. 09. 2022 14:30:25
Hiked this path on Tuesday. Little snow, crampons, gaiters not necessary.
serpa62. 11. 2022 13:41:08
Hello,

Has anyone visited in the last week?
How is the condition?
Best regards
grega_z_brega2. 11. 2022 15:38:43
Uncountable visits.
The condition will change in the next few days though.
G3420. 11. 2022 16:56:16
I've been here already. The view is great. I went from Kamniška Bistrica. That extends the trail by about another hour. If you want to shorten the trail, I recommend staying overnight at the hut at Kokrško sedlo.
blaz9116. 06. 2023 00:26:27
hey, I'd like to go on this trail on Saturday. all ok, anyone been?
nejcf16. 06. 2023 01:49:51
The trail has been closed since yesterday due to falling rocks.
rdemiro23. 06. 2023 09:26:46
hi. is this path open? I'd go tomorrow.
garmont23. 06. 2023 09:41:51
Read above. zavijanje z očmi
The path is closed.
rdemiro23. 06. 2023 10:39:24
I saw that, just wondered if it was already open by chance. Thanks
Jure 223. 06. 2023 11:48:07
The path is officially open.

On MaPZS it is no longer marked as closed.
LP Jure
rdemiro23. 06. 2023 14:03:33
yes, Cojzova koča posted on FB that it's open again nasmeh
hribi4324. 06. 2023 12:12:53
Is the trail to the summit already snow-free, or can you go easily without winter gear?
jbs24. 06. 2023 21:28:19
yes, all snow-free
ovi26. 06. 2023 18:48:44
Extremely strenuous tour - for those (@Turbo) who plan to do the path with your 4-legged darling -and children over 10 plus- start at dawn, take plenty of fluids and stamina- a little below the summit sheep are grazing-so their shepherds are there too ;-)- unsuitable for Chihuahuas and Pomeranians- otherwise well-marked path- attention- very strenuous (highlight in SLO for hiking with dogs)!

best regards - and safe steps - greetings Luka, Collie mix ;-)
Davorin287. 07. 2023 19:24:16
How is parking in Koncu? Can you get to Koncu, or do you have to leave the vehicle at the hut in Kam. Bistrici?
grega_z_brega7. 07. 2023 20:53:49
Yes, the earlier you arrive, the more space there is.nasmeh
TanjaP28. 07. 2023 08:48:04
Hello! Does anyone know if the road to the trailhead is passable? Given the storms of the last days.
lijaneja28. 07. 2023 09:27:29
After all these storms, the road is really nice, no trees fallen either.

TanjaP28. 07. 2023 10:52:30
Great! Many thanks @lijaneja
Where can one park? Can you drive all the way to V Koncu or to the cargo cableway?
lijaneja28. 07. 2023 12:15:12
From the cargo cableway onwards only with an off-roader. Up to there, the little bridges are also nicely repaired. (if you didn't read my report abovenasmeh)
Spela112314. 08. 2023 10:05:12
Hi, has anyone gone on this path in the last few days? Is the road to Konec and the path all okay?

Will have to go from Suhadolnik, road OK, via Taško to Grintovec passable without much effort.

Hello. Please provide information if it's possible to drive by car to the V Koncu parking lot? Thank younasmeh
Nadvojvoda22. 09. 2023 11:48:15
Normally passable (17.09.)
suby161. 02. 2024 22:30:01
Nice greeting! Just wondering your opinion on visiting Grintovec this Saturday? Is it safe?
lijaneja3. 02. 2024 21:52:29
Of course it is, and on Sunday too. The most demanding part is two hundred meters below Kokrško sedlo. You mustn't slip on the roof either, otherwise you fly over Ovnov čer into Kokra. Use your head, fitness, and proper gear, and it'll be a fine tour.
Marjana K14. 07. 2024 11:14:05
Hello. Can someone confirm if it's possible to continue by car from Kamniška Bistrica to Žagana peč?
ana14. 07. 2024 17:55:59
Yes, possible, was there on Wednesday. regards
Marjana K14. 07. 2024 20:10:56
Wonderful. Many thanks.
Neža931. 07. 2024 11:10:55
Hi, can I please get information if parking is possible at V Koncu now or not? 2 years ago there was no problem. thanks nasmeh
Hatsu1. 08. 2024 10:28:44
Works are being carried out at the starting point (at least yesterday they were), so about 100 meters before there is a sign prohibiting traffic in both directions. I parked a little before the sign, where there was space for about 4 vehicles, some cars were also parked behind the sign. Whether they were workers or hikers, I don't know.
Neža93. 08. 2024 22:55:57
Right, I also parked before the sign, so "the early bird catches the worm" applies 🙂
ahatimaha17. 11. 2024 08:33:18
Info 17.11.: shortly after Dom pri Kamniški Bistrici a no-entry sign has been placed.
user031015. 06. 2025 13:38:51
is access to Koncu possible by car
AndrejS16. 06. 2025 07:33:18
It is possible!
uros44423. 06. 2025 09:54:50
Possible by breaking rules? Am I right?
garmont23. 06. 2025 21:28:22
No, you don't.
Vrhovka26. 06. 2025 10:06:22
24.6.2025 road to Konca normally drivable, even with lower car.
saqo17. 09. 2025 09:23:06
Is the hiking path over Streha past Kokrsko sedlo passable (I know due to floods some time ago something was closed, don't remember exactly what)? Thanks
asdf17. 09. 2025 09:59:04
The path described on this page is open, but the path from Suhadolnik to Kokrsko sedlo is still closed. If a path is closed, you can check here:

Hi, is access to the parking lot at the cargo cable car (V Koncu) allowed by car? Thanks
garmont20. 09. 2025 04:03:45
No problems.nasmeh
exwannabe29. 12. 2025 19:58:05
If you go further along the road from K.B. and park anywhere (at the cable car, on Jermanci), you can expect a police notice, as there is a sign below stating that driving is prohibited.
Mitja K22. 07. 2026 12:18:10
Lp, I would go to Grintavec via the roof and I am interested in how parking is, where one parks, I noticed that at the cable car it is not possible, and how far it is then on foot to the start of the trailhead itself, thanks Lp
Nehodimvhribe22. 07. 2026 13:28:30
Hi,
you can easily drive to the lower cable car station (in Koncu) and park there.

On Monday the road was in two sections a bit more "fun" due to holes from Saturday's rain, so it's not suitable for a low car.

The no-traffic sign is put up (as I've observed for the last 3 years) in winter time; in summer it's not there.
Tadej8. 09. 2026 12:15:56
The description from Konc to Grintovec has also been updated.
