Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. Approximately 2km after bottom station of the cable car on Velika planina we will on the right side of the road notice a parking lot and mountain signposts for Presedljaj, Konj and Korošica (parking lot is located after the bridge).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path in the direction of Presedljaj, Korošica, Konj and Ojstrica. Already after few meters the path turns to the right, where at first it is barely ascending, and then it starts descending and after few minutes joins a wide cart track. We continue the ascent on a gentle cart track which soon crosses a torrent, and then it is gently to moderately ascending towards the gable of the valley Kamniška Bela.
After a good 30 minutes of walking from the starting point, we come at the marked crossing, where we continue right on a marked path (left waterfall Orglice and Korošica through Šraj pesek). Cart track soon after the crossing changes into increasingly steep footpath, and which then leads us through a dense forest. Higher, the path turns slightly to the left and crosses a torrent gully. A little further almost unnoticeably the path over Najnar štant branches off to the left (demanding and exposed path which leads on Korošica, higher it joins the path over Šraj pesek), and we continue straight on a marked path which starts ascending in numerous turns. The path higher for a short time steeply ascends and it brings us to a nice viewpoint with table and bench.
The path ahead slightly descends, crosses a steep slope and it brings us to a torrent gully. Here the path turns on the left side of the slope and at first ascends with the help of some iron spikes and higher steel cables, after that returns into the forest, where it is steeply ascending for some time. Higher, the path for some time flattens, and then it again steeply ascends and in few minutes of additional walking brings us on a saddle Presedljaj, where there is a marked crossing.
On Presedljaj is a crossing, where we go right following the signs Konj. After that, the path runs slightly to the right over little steeper slopes covered with a gravel and then turns to the left. Here for a short time path ascends a little steeper and we also get help from some iron spikes. We continue over the slope covered with dwarf pines, which brings us to the ridge. After that, the path runs by the right side of the ridge and becomes a little more demanding and a little more exposed. Next follows probably the hardest part of the path, where we quite steeply ascend by iron spikes and steel cables back towards the ridge. When we come again on the ridge we only have few meters to the secondary peak on which there is placed an inscription box. From here we have then a short ascent by the steel cable to the top of Konj.
