Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kamnik, and then we continue driving towards Stahovica. Before we get to Stahovica, more precisely after the village Godič, we leave the main road and we continue driving left in the direction of Županje Njive. At the next crossroad, we continue left in the direction of Bistričica, and we follow the road to the village Klemenčevo, where we turn right over a smaller bridge towards the village Slevo (by the crossroad or by the bridge are signs for Kamniški vrh and Krvavec). Further, we drive on an ascending road which then leads us through the village Slevo, and after approximately 1km from a small bridge we get to a smaller quarry, by which we can park on an appropriate place. To locals it is better to park immediately after the small bridge over Bistričica, this extends the path for approximately 15 minutes.
Path description:
If we've parked below at the bridge we at first walk to the quarry above the village Slevo, and from there at the crossing of cart tracks we continue on the left, on which point us also signs for Kamniški vrh and Krvavec. Further, the cart track is moderately ascending on gentle grassy meadows. After approximately 15 minutes of walking from the quarry we get to a spot, where from the left joins also a footpath from the valley, and at this spot, we leave the marked path which continues towards Krvavec and Kamniški vrh over mountain pasture Osredek and we continue right on a well-beaten, but unmarked footpath. Easy path then leads us over gentle meadow, on which in few minutes we get to decaying shack.
Above the shack slope gradually becomes much steeper, and the path starts ascending steeper and steeper. From gentle grassy slopes we quickly get to the slope named Strme senožeti. We continue the ascent on a slightly vegetated slope, and the path leads us directly above distinct gully, in the middle of which is narrower scree (on the scree is possible part of the descent).
A pretty steep path, which is in wet very dangerous for slipping, after approximately 30 minutes flattens, then quickly brings us on a small saddle between Planjava on the left and Kamniški vrh on the right.
Here we return on a marked path, and we follow it right in the direction of Kamniški vrh (left Planjava, mountain pasture Osredek, Krvavec and valley Korošica). From here follows for approximately 15 minutes of a moderate ascent and partly panoramic path brings us to the inscription box on Kamniški vrh.
From the top, we can continue also few 10 meters further to the nearby bivouac.
