V Koncu - Kogel (via Gamsov skret)

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

Path description:
From the parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway, we continue on the road to the »upper parking lot«. Here we will notice two cart tracks by the parking lot on the left side of the road. The left cart track, which is marked with signs on a tree, leads towards Kokrsko sedlo. We go on the right cart track (this cart track is also on the left side of the road).
At first for some time we walk on the mentioned cart track from which some side cart tracks also branch off, after that the cart track passes into a footpath. Further, we ascend for quite some time on a narrow footpath through the forest. The path here all the time runs on the left side of the valley and so avoids the steep rocky jump in the bottom part of the valley.
When we come out of the forest, the path crosses slightly steeper slopes to the right and brings us to grassy slopes. Next follows an ascent on grassy terrain, which brings us below the walls of Kogel.
Here the better beaten footpath turns left towards the wall, and we continue slightly right on a narrow footpath. The path on this part is quite poorly visible and runs on the left side of the torrent up the valley. For orientation, the clearly visible waterfall of the mentioned torrent (usually without water) can serve. The footpath already a little before the waterfall turns to the left and enters the wall.
Here the path becomes very demanding and first we have to climb a few meters up the almost vertical slope. Next follows an ascent on a narrow secured ledge, which crosses the slope to the right and brings us to steep grassy slopes. Even though the ledge is secured, the ascent is quite demanding. We also have to take into account that the fixed safety gear is usually in somewhat worse condition than we are used to on marked paths. Further, we ascend for some time on quite steep grassy slopes, after that the slope becomes gradually less steep and the path brings us to an unexpected bench from which there is also a very nice view in all directions.
Further, we ascend on the grassy slope upwards all the way to the marked path Kokrsko sedlo - Kamniško sedlo.
Here we go left and follow the marked path, which brings us to the northern side of Kogel. Here we leave the marked path and first descend a little on pathless terrain. Because the northern slope of Kogel isn't too steep, looking for appropriate passages towards the summit isn't too demanding. We have to pay attention to abysses, of which there are quite a few on the slope of Kogel.
