The Kamnik\u2013Savinja Alps reign above the town of Kamnik, from which they also get their name. They are a mountain range in the north of Slovenia and form part of the Southern Limestone Alps. Approximately 75 percent of the area is covered by forest, while the peaks are bare and rocky, the highest among them being Grintovec, which rises to 2,558 meters. The peaks are very popular among hikers, but some of the routes are highly demanding and require proper skills and equipment.<\/p>\n

The Kamnik\u2013Savinja Alps have become a favorite spot for geocachers, offering plenty of hidden geocaches scattered throughout the rugged landscape. The most iconic landmark is the Kamnik saddle, nestled between the peaks of Planjava and Brana. This distinctive view will also be featured on the official geocoin of the Kamnik Block Party event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rising majestically above the saddle are the peaks of Brana<\/a> (2,253 meters) and Planjava<\/a> (2,394 meters), each presenting a more demanding and rewarding climb for experienced hikers. Both summits boast their own geocaches, offering an exciting challenge for geocachers eager to explore the heights of the Kamnik\u2013Savinja Alps.<\/p>\n

On a global scale, the Kamnik\u2013Savinja Alps are perhaps best known for the modern and striking bivouac beneath Skuta. However, it\u2019s important to note that the ascent to this shelter is steep, long, and challenging\u2014definitely not suited for everyone. For those who make the journey, a traditional geocache<\/a> awaits at the bivouac.<\/p>\n

You can continue the trail via the Turski \u017eleb up to Turska gora (2,251 meters), where an unforgettable view of the Kamnik saddle and the surrounding peaks unfolds before you and, of course, two more geocaches. The first one at Turski \u017eleb<\/a>, the other on top of Turska gora<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When speaking of the Kamnik\u2013Savinja Alps, one cannot overlook its highest peak, Grintovec. The ascent to Grintovec is a full-day, physically demanding trek that should never be taken lightly, no matter which route you choose. At the summit, a geocache awaits<\/a>, while deep down below it you’ll find another magnificent bivouac shelter.<\/p>\n

The easiest\u2014yet still physically demanding\u2014route to Grintovec is via the Kokra Saddle, where another geocache<\/a> and a large mountain hut welcome you.<\/p>\n

Seveda pa je v Kamni\u0161ko-Savinjskih Alpah toliko nepozabnih vrhov, poti, razgledov in tudi zakladov, da jih je nemogo\u010de zajeti v eno samo objavo. To je le kratek vpogled v osupljivi gorski svet nad Kamnikom. \u010ce so vam pri srcu skalnati vrhovi, razgledni prelazi ali skriti zakladi (vklju\u010dno s tistimi iz igre Geocaching), vam bo obisk teh veli\u010dastnih gora ponudil do\u017eivetja, ki jih ne boste pozabili.<\/p>\n
