Access to starting point:
From Kamnik we drive towards Stahovica. Immediately after the village Godič we turn left on the road in the direction of Županje njive. At the next crossroad, we go left in the direction of Bistričica and we follow the road to the village Klemenčevo, where we turn right over a small bridge and then we park on a smaller parking lot. In front of the bridge are signposts for Kamniški vrh and mountain pasture Osredek.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the main road which is gently ascending on the left side of the stream (right bank). After few minutes walk, the path brings us to a bus turning point, after which we notice the signposts for Ambrož pod Krvavcem. And only a little further road brings us to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right over a bridge. After the bridge, we get to houses, at which we leave the marked path towards Krvavec. We continue right on a cart track which is ascending through a meadow. Cart track, which is becoming worse higher runs between two hayracks and then brings us to a smaller confluence of the rivers at the ruins of an old house. The path ahead leads us on the right side of ruins and then over a wire fence brings us to a stream by which we are then ascending. The path which ahead runs by the stream, quite few times crosses it. At the spot, where the path avoids the gorge to the right we notice 1st waterfall to which we have only a minute of walking on a riverbed. At a low water level, it doesn't deserve the name 1st waterfall.
The path which avoids the gorge to the right, after a short ascent, it brings us to the next waterfall, which in dry periods entirely dries up. The path which is further steeper ascending quickly brings us to a smaller saddle, where we come to the next crossing. Left at first slightly downwards, after that upwards path branches off towards the next waterfall. After five minutes of walking, we get to the bottom one in the main chain of waterfalls. If we want to the upper largest waterfall we have to ascend on the left side of the waterfall steeply upwards (it isn't appropriate for less experienced).
From the waterfalls we return to a crossing and we continue on a path, which is further steeply ascending on a less and less vegetated slope. Steep path ahead crosses some slightly exposed slopes, which are in wet dangerous for slipping. The increasingly panoramic path then brings us to a cross, where we step on a marked path. We continue left on a gently sloping path, which in 5 minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain pasture Osredek.
From the mountain pasture, we continue right in the direction of Kamniški vrh on the path which in a moderate ascent through the forest brings us to the next crossing, where we go right (left Krvavec). We continue on the northern slopes through the forest. After a good 30 minutes from the mountain pasture path brings us on the saddle between Planjava and Kamniški vrh. Here a view opens up towards the south. We continue left on the ridge path on which in few minutes we reach the peak.
