V Koncu - Kogel (via Gamsov skret)

Accesso al punto di partenza:
Si arriva in macchina a Kamnik e si prosegue lungo la strada verso la valle del Kamniška Bistrica. Dal Dom v Kamniški Bistrici si continua a guidare lungo la strada forestale che più in alto porta a un incrocio dove si prosegue dritto (a destra Jermanca, punto di partenza per il Kamniško sedlo). La strada poi ci porta oltre Žagana peč fino al parcheggio alla stazione inferiore della teleferica da carico per il Kokrsko sedlo.
In inverno la guida dalla Koča v Kamniški Bistrici al parcheggio V Koncu è vietata (segnale stradale), il che allunga il nostro percorso di quasi un'ora.

Descrizione del percorso:
From the parking lot at the lower station of the cable car we continue along the road to the "upper parking lot". Here, next to the parking lot on the left side of the road, we will notice two cart tracks. The left cart track, marked with direction signs on a tree, leads towards Kokrsko sedlo. We head onto the right cart track (this cart track is also on the left side of the road).

At first we walk for some time along the mentioned cart track from which several side cart tracks also branch off, then the cart track turns into a path. In the continuation we ascend for quite some time along a narrow path through the forest. The path here constantly runs on the left side of the valley and thus avoids the steep rocky jump in the lower part of the valley.
When we emerge from the forest, the path crosses somewhat steeper slopes to the right and leads us to grassy slopes. This is followed by an ascent over grassy terrain, which leads us below the walls of Kogel.
Here the better-trodden path turns left towards the wall, while we continue slightly right along a narrow path. The path in this section is quite poorly visible and runs on the left side of the torrent up the valley. For orientation we can use the clearly visible waterfall of the mentioned torrent (usually without water). The path already turns left somewhat before the waterfall and enters the wall.
Here the path becomes very demanding and first we have to climb a few meters up an almost vertical slope. This is followed by an ascent along a narrow secured ledge that crosses the slope to the right and leads us to steep grassy slopes. Although the ledge is secured, the ascent is quite demanding. It should also be noted that the protections are usually in somewhat poorer condition than we are used to on marked paths. In the continuation we ascend for some time over quite steep grassy slopes, then the slope gradually becomes less steep and the path leads us to an unexpected bench from which there is also a very beautiful view in all directions.
In the continuation we ascend over the grassy slope upwards all the way to the marked path Kokrsko sedlo - Kamniško sedlo.
Here we turn left and follow the marked path, which leads us to the northern side of Kogel. Here we leave the marked path and first descend somewhat off-path. Since the northern slope of Kogel is not overly steep, finding suitable passages towards the summit is also not overly demanding. However, we must pay attention to abysses, of which there are quite a few on the slope of Kogel.
