V Koncu - Brana (via Turska gora)

Access to the starting point:
Drive into Kamnik and follow the road towards the Kamniška Bistrica valley. From your home in Kamniška Bistrica, continue driving along the forest road, which takes you higher up to a crossroads where you continue straight ahead (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo). The road then takes you past Žagana peči to the parking lot at the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kokrsko sedlo.
After the new traffic sign, driving from the Kamniški Bistrica hut to the V Koncu parking lot is forbidden, which extends the journey by almost an hour.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway, continue along the deteriorating road, which turns into cart track after 10 minutes of walking. Cart track splits into two parts, and we take the right one (the left cart track is lost, or leads towards Gams' Hide), which turns slightly further to the right at a small boulder covered with moss (a large rock). It is at this point that cart track is abandoned and you continue straight on the initially less visible path, which later climbs steeply in the keys. The steep and, especially in wet conditions, slippery path leads over steep slopes, which in some places are protected by a steel cable. The steep path, which also crosses some ravines, leads us higher up to a less steep slope. After a good hour's walk, the path leads us out of the forest, where it starts to climb steeply again. The path initially leads us over grassy slopes surrounded by sparse forest, and then, with the help of a few fixed safety gear, it takes us a step higher. The path then moves on to a rough slope, which makes the ascent a little more difficult, and then turns left onto a steep grassy slope rising above vast scree fields. At the top of this grassy section, turn slightly right and the path transitions from the grass to the high mountain area of high-lying plateau below Skuta. Continue along the cairns path and in a few minutes you will reach the pleasant bivouac below Skuta.
From the bivouac, continue along the poorly visible and still unmarked path along the undistinguished ridge, which leads us after 15 minutes' walk from the bivouac to the marked path Kamniško sedlo - Kokrsko sedlo. Here we continue to the right and after a few minutes we arrive at the crossroads of the trail, where we continue along the lower right trail in the direction of Turska gora (left Rinke). The trail then starts to descend and after a few minutes leads us to the top of Turski žleb. Continue straight on (left down Okrešelj) along the increasingly scenic path, which leads us with the help of a few wedges to the top ridge Turska gora which we then follow to the top. Walking on the ridge on land does not present any major problems, but in the snow there is a high risk of slipping on the top ridge.
From the summit, continue along the path which starts to descend (direction Kamniško sedlo). The path, which starts to descend steeply after a few steps, is well guarded, but in some places quite exposed. The path, which is constantly exposed to falling rocks, then leads to a natural vent (a barrel without a bottom). Next we come to a sharp notch called Kotliči, after which the path begins to gradually climb and after a while leads us to a crossroads where we continue right steeply up towards Brana (straight Kamniško sedlo). The way forward is increasingly climbing up the axial slopes of Brana. The steep and in key places guarded path, which is not particularly difficult, soon leads us into a small ravine, after which we climb with some free climbing to a beautiful viewpoint. Here we continue sharp right along the path, which after a few further 10 steps leads us to the top slope of Brana. Here the steepness eases and a beautiful view of the easy path leads us in a few minutes to the spacious summit. In Konec - bivouac under Skuto 3:00, bivouac under Skuto - Turska gora 1:15, Turska gora - Brana 1:30.
