Allthough often considered as a secondary peak, Brana is a brave 2000er, a known thunder collector, which takes a 1600m bow above the Kamniska Bistrica source.
The first mass we notice from the Kamniska Bistrica trailhead is the front range: Kaptan, the immense S slopes of Brana which are abundantly covered with vegetation. Above the Kaptan head (glava), the S ridge easily continues towards the summit.
East of Brana, the Kamnisko Sedlo saddle links Brana with the Planjava massif.
To the W, the Kotlici notch separates Brana from Turska gora and the western part of the range.
Brana has 3 faces.
The tall, steep and awesome W face drops from Blek, the summital basin, into the Kotliski graben ravine.
The E face, a confusion of pillars and gullies rises above the Pastirji meadow.
Unfortunately statitiscally shadowed, the Brana N face quite expressly drops upon the Okreselj meadow.
The upper middle part of the N face is covered with steep scree (snow in winter).
