Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. Approximately 2 km after the bottom station of a 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 behind 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.
We continue left in the direction of Korošica (right Konj) on the path which starts ascending on the left side of an indistinct ridge. After few minutes, the path turns to the right and flattens. We continue on in parts quite overgrown footpath, that is gently ascending through a lane of dwarf pines. A little further, the path crosses an exposed slope above the valley Lučka Bela, where there is also a memorial plaque to a mountaineer. Only few meters behind the memorial plaque, the slope flattens and it brings us to an unmarked crossing, where the unmarked path towards Vršiči and Vežica branches off to the left.
We go on the mentioned path (path straight leads towards Korošica), which through a lane of dwarf pines (nice wide passage) quickly brings us to watering place for animals. Here, the footpath vanishes and we stick slightly to the right, where then on a slope we notice two poorly visible footpaths. Right leads through a small valley and left among dwarf pines. Higher both paths join and only few 10 meters ahead vanish on a grassy slope. We continue slightly right, at first towards smaller saddle, and then we go on a slope straight upwards. Dwarf pines are rare, so that we reach the peak without any biggier problems.
