Griže - Kamnik (via Zahom)

Access to the starting point:
Exit the Styria motorway at exit Žalec, then follow the signs for Žalec. Via Žalec follow the signs for Griže, which you will reach shortly after the bridge over the Savinja River. In Griže, turn right towards the cemetery, and we park in the parking lot opposite the parish church of St Pancras.

Path description:
From the parking lot opposite the church, continue up the asphalt road, and at the nearby crossroads turn right towards Homa and Šešč pri Prebold. The road continues past two chapels and then descends to a crossroads near the inn at Zibiki.
Here, go slightly left in the direction of Hom na Hom and the Kotar excursion farm (direct route to Hom and Hom over Lajnarjev hill).
The way forward begins again to climb slightly, and initially leads us past a few houses. The hills soon end, and the path along which we see some rare markings leads us through the forest. Higher up, we reach a crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards the Kotar excursion farm, and we continue along the main road, which continues to climb moderately.
At a couple of junctions we follow the main road, then there are two short serpentines. A little further on, the path from Zabukovica joins us from the left, and from Pongrac we arrive in Matke (the hamlet of Zahom). Here we soon reach a small pass between Kamnik on the left and Hom on the right.
Continue straight on towards Matki (Hom on the right), and after a short descent you will reach a small hamlet where there is a crossroads of several roads.
Continue straight ahead on a side road which climbs past a few houses. After the last house, you reach a marked crossroads where the path splits.
Continue on the slightly left cart track towards Kamnik (slightly right Matke and Golava), which climbs steeply and soon turns left onto a marked footpath which passes a waterhole and enters the woods. After a few minutes of further walking, the moderately steep path leading through the forest leads to a climbing area, which is located a few steps off the path. After the climbing area, the path becomes much steeper and leads us higher to the north-west ridge Kamnik, after which we continue our steep ascent. The steep route, which is dangerous to slip on in several parts, especially in the wet, then leads us to the top of Kamnik, where a small bivouac is situated, with occasional views of the surrounding hills.
