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 we follow moderately ascending road to a large parking lot near the bottom cableway station on Velika planina (parking lot is located on the right side of the road).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Dol and Velika planina. After approximately 100 meters of walking on the road, just before the first right turn, we will notice on the left side at first a wide footpath which ascends in the forest (turn-off isn't marked). We continue on the mentioned path, which soon crosses a lane of bushes and immediately and then it brings us to a crossing, where we continue on the right path. Further, we are ascending on a footpath which after a short ascent brings us to a forest road which we follow to the left (unmarked).
After a minute or two of walking on the road, we come at the marked crossing, where we continue right on a marked footpath. The path ahead at first gently ascends among site of wild garlic, and then it starts ascending steeper and steeper. A relatively steep path, which all the time run through the forest, higher brings us to a short part, that is exposed to falling stones. Further, the path ascends even steeper, and then turns to the left, where the steepness decreases. Next follows only few minutes of easy walking and the path brings us to a forest road which we follow to the right. The road which immediately passes out of the forest on the western edge of the mountain pasture Dol we follow approximately 5 minutes, to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Konj (right Velika planina).
The path ahead moderately ascends through a meadow, and then 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.
