end of road - Rogatec (climbing way)

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 pastures on the Kal saddle. Just a few dozen metres to the right, there is also a marked crossroads. We head straight for the Rogatec signs. The left-hand path leads to a bivouac, which is only a few dozen metres from the crossroads. The right path leads to mountain pasture Zg. Špeh.

The trail then leads into the forest, where there is also a "very difficult trail" sign. The trail turns slightly to the left and leads to the entrance to the climbing part of the trail. The path climbs steeply up the slope, which is partly rocky and partly covered with grass, and then turns slightly to the right. It continues to climb steeply through a sparse forest and leads us to a ridge where we get a very nice view of the Kamnik Alps. We turn left, where a few wedges help us in the beginning, and then we climb along an unprotected ridge. The ridge is very scenic in the first part and in the second part we re-enter the forest through which we climb steeply a few times. Towards the end, the forest becomes more sparse and a few metres below the summit we come out of the forest, where we regain a very nice view on all sides.

The climbing part of the route is technically not to difficult, but it is not belayed and is therefore very dangerous to slip on in the wet.
