Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and cableway on Velika planina. In Stahovica we continue left (direction Kamniška Bistrica and cableway Velika planina) and moderately ascending road, we then follow past the bottom cableway station on Velika planina. Only few 100 meters ahead from the cableway on Velika planina, we come in a smaller hamlet named Kopišča. Here we turn right and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a cart track which is gently ascending through the forest. Higher becomes a cart track quite rough and starts gradually ascending steeper and steeper. A bit higher, we will notice old hunting path, which from the cart track branches off and then starts relatively steep ascending. The path which is moderately to steeply ascending through the forest, higher brings us to an old mining tunnels. The path ahead passes on a steep but still with a forest covered grassy slopes. Further, the footpath for a short time flattens, after that in zig-zags starts steeply ascending through the forest. Higher, we come by the foot of very the steep slopes, where with the help of smaller wooden bridge we step into rocky terrain. Over a short very steep ascent there's a steel cable for help, and the path then passes on a steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous grassy slopes. A little further, the path entirely flattens, after that for quite some time crosses slopes towards the right.
The path ahead brings us to a nice viewpoint, after which the path soon passes on a cart track and then past the hunting cottage, brings us to a macadam road, on which in few minutes we walk to the mountain pasture Dol, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue left in the direction of Konj (right Velika planina) and we continue through a gently sloping meadow, through which we ascend to the edge of the forest. The path ahead passes into the forest, where it turns to the right and starts gradually ascending steeper and steeper. Next follows approximately 20 minutes of a steep ascent through the forest and then the path brings us to a smaller viewpoint. Here the path turns left and also flattens a little. We continue on a moderately steep path, where from a thinner forest we soon pass over in a lane of dwarf pines. A short ascent follows on a well-beaten path through dwarf pines and the path brings us on a mountain pasture Rzenik, by the edge of which we notice a shepherd hut.
From the hut, we continue on a marked path towards Konj (slightly left Rzenik on the western path, the path on Rzenik isn't marked), and it quickly brings us into dwarf pines. We continue the ascent on a moderately steep path which still leads through dwarf pines. Higher, the path brings us just by the main ridge and the path here turns to the right and is still ascending through dwarf pines. Follows only few 10 strides of walking and a more panoramic path quickly brings us to the summit of Konj.
Inscription box is situated a little lower, namely in the direction towards Presedljaj. To there we have a short steep descent, on a secured climbing path.
