Dom v Kamniški Bistrici - Kamniška koča na Kamniškem sedlu

Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley Kamniška Bistrica, where we park on a large parking lot near the mountain hut Dom v Kamniški Bistrici.

Path description:
From the parking lot in front of the mountain hut Dom v Kamniški Bistrici we continue on at first still asphalt road which after a short ascent quickly brings us into the forest. After few minutes of walking a signpost for saddle Kamniško sedlo point us to the right on a steep footpath which a little higher brings us to an interesting passage below an overhang cliffs. Still steep path then brings us to the bottom station of a cargo cableway, where we step on the road. We continue left and then already after few steps sharply right. Relatively steep forest path higher brings us to a cart track which we follow few ten meters to the right, and then blazes point us to the left, where after a steep initial ascent steepness decreases. Further, in a gentle diagonal ascent we cross relatively steep slopes, after which from the left path from higher starting point (Jermanca) joins. Well marked and relatively steep path, which for some time is still ascending through the forest, higher brings us to a pleasant well (in dry periods dries up). From a well a short ascent follows and the path brings us to known resting place Pri Pastirjih, where there stands an emergency bivouac.
We continue straight on a marked path, which then quickly passes out of the forest on an ample panoramic meadow. Behind the meadow, the path goes in a lane of dwarf pines, where it starts ascending steeper again. The path which ahead runs on sunny side slope with increasingly beautiful view after a good hour of walking from Pastirji brings us to the mountain hut Koča na Kamniškem sedlu.
