The departing point of Kremzar Route is the beautiful Ceska koca (hut, 1543m). It can be reached from the both valleys, coming up from Jezersko - from Ravenska and from Makekova Kocna by marked paths. The eastern approach is for some 30 minutes shorter (about 1 hour).

Route Description

From Ceska koca the marked path goes first a bit towards west, but on scree slopes soon turns towards south. We gain heigth, approaching north walls of the main ridge. On the altitude of around 1800m there is a crossroads. The left path goes to Mlinarsko sedlo and to Grintovec, while the right one is our option.

We turn slowly towards SW, gaining heigth. Reaching Kocna's north ridge the path climbs over it. The scenery is great. Wild towers, steep rocks and towards east the whole range of Kamnik Alps. The route seeks best passages, climbs from ledge to ledge and follows them horizontally. It is good marked and assured. Climbing over 2000 meters mark, as the summit rocks are too steep, the route turns across the slopes towards south-east, reaching Dolska skrbina (notch, 2270m) in the ridge between Kocna and Grintovec.

Below the 'Belly'

From Dolska skrbina the route follows the ledge below Kocna's east ridge. At first glance the huge, rounded walls will not allow us any passage. But on the most tricky part a shallow ledge leads us under rounded 'bellys'. Most of mountaineers here push their rucksacks in front of them, also if you go more on the outer side, the passage is not easy. But difficulties are soon over and a comfortable ledge leads us further towards east. Only at the end we climb a little, so reaching the highest point. From Suhadolnih farm cca 5 hours.

Essential Gear
