Dom v Kamniški Bistrici - Kamniški Dedec

Access to starting point:
We drive into Kamnik and we 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. Next follows few minutes of walking and the path brings us to a crossing V Klinu. The marked path towards the saddle Kamniško sedlo here turns left upwards (by the path there are also signposts), and we continue slightly right on an unmarked path. At the beginning of this path is large caption »Pot ne vodi na K. sedlo« (Path doesn't lead on Kamniško sedlo).
We continue in the direction of the path which doesn't lead on a saddle Kamniško sedlo, and it soon turns to the left and it brings us on the next, this time entirely unmarked crossing. Here we notice few smaller cairns, which point us slightly right to a riverbed of the nearby torrent stream. We descend to the mentioned torrent and on the other side by the landslip we look for the beginning of the path which continues right through the forest. The path ahead crosses a short exposed slope, and then starts ascending in zig-zags through the forest. Higher transverse path branches off to the left on which we can get to Repov kot, and we continue right on still steep path, on which we quickly get to the nearby hunting cottage, from which a nice view opens up on Brana and saddle Kamniško sedlo.
Behind the hunting cottage we continue on a well visible and gradually steeper path, which is ascending towards the south. Higher, the path for some time becomes less steep, and then turns slightly towards the left, where starts very steeply ascending (mainly in wet great risk of slipping). The steepness then starts decreasing and the path which still runs through the forest, brings us on the ridge of Črni vrh, where it turns to the left and flattens even more. Next follows a short descent, and then occasionally poorly visible path continues on with a forest covered ridge. After few minutes of easy walking, the path again starts ascending steeper, and for some time it avoids the ridge right on a steep and for slipping dangerous slopes. After a shorter steep ascent, we return on the ridge, which is from here ahead less vegetated and consequently more and more panoramic. Next follows a moderate ascent on the mentioned ridge to the nearby rocky jump, where we can leave poles, if we have them of course. The path ahead steeply ascends through a narrow gully and only a few meters higher turns to the left, where brings us on the exposed slope surrounded by dwarf pines. With some help of hands we ascend over the mentioned slope, which ends on precipitous and panoramic summit.
