Kopišča - Kopa (Belska Kopa)

Access to starting point:
Through Kamnik we drive in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and cableway on Velika planina. Past the bottom cableway station we drive for few hundred meters further to a larger clearing, where there is a hamlet Kopišča. At the end of the clearing on the right there is a passing place and a turn-off of cart track, where we park.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a cart track towards the east in a gentle ascent. Higher the cart track goes towards the northeast and it is becoming worse. Soon from the cart track a well-beaten footpath branches off to the right, which starts ascending steeply on a slope of Kopa. Kopa is all the time on our left side. By the path, we notice mine tunnels, which are there because of digging a bauxite in 19th and beginning of 20th century. The path becomes narrower, it is still relatively easy to follow. We come into a gully between Martinj turn and Kopa, the path goes to the right slope, where it is steeply ascending in zig-zags. When we come below the mountain walls, we turn left on a steep slope to a grassy ridge. Because of the grass the path here is poorly visible. Be careful, where barely visible path branches off on steep grass left, and current path continues in Martinj steza. We go on a small footpath left (north) at first horizontal, and then in zig-zags to a small saddle above the valley of Bela. Here left towards the summit of Kopa, because of the fallen burnt trees just in your own way on the southern slope of the ridge. After 15 minutes we step on the summit.
