Access to the starting point:
From Kamnik, we drive towards Gornji grad. At the chapel just a few dozen metres before Gornji grad, turn left (direction Sveti Lenart). Continue along the road that goes up along the stream. The road then leaves the stream and leads to a dilapidated wooden shack, where you continue along the road towards the church. At a crossroads a few metres below the church, go left and follow the road, which makes a sharp right turn, to its end, where you park.
From the Štajerska side, take the first exit to Gornji Grad and follow the road in the direction of Kamnik. Just after Gornji Grad turn right (direction Sveti Lenart). Continue as described above.
Path description:
From the end of the road, cross the torrent and immediately afterwards the path climbs steeply and leads us in the keys to an inexpressible ridge. The way forward climbs steeply upwards through the forest. After a good 20 minutes of ascent, the steepness eases and the path leads us in a crossing under the saddle Kal. This is followed by a shorter climb along a mainly muddy track (the exception being longer periods of drought), which after a good five minutes leads us to the pastures of the Kal saddle. Just a few dozen metres to the right is a crossroads where a signpost directs you to the bivouac at Kal.
