Photogenic Kamniško Sedlo
A Day Tour, start from Kamniška Bistrica (pick-up in Ljubljana or Kamnik)
This breathtakingly scenic trail winds beneath the jagged peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, offering an unforgettable journey through some of Slovenia’s most dramatic landscapes. The route begins in the glacial Alpine valley of Kamniška Bistrica, meandering through lush forests before ascending a steep slope to a mountain hut perched on a saddle, surrounded by towering peaks on all sides. From this vantage point, hikers are treated to sweeping vistas: to the south, the Ljubljana Basin stretches out, while to the north, the stunning Logar Valley unfolds, all framed by the rugged high peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. A photographer’s paradise, this hike is accessible year-round for those in good physical condition, promising both natural beauty and a rewarding sense of achievement.

Itinerary
We park our cars either in a parking lot in Kamniška Bistrica or a little bit higher at Jermanca, and follow the signs for Kamniško Sedlo. After about an hour walk in a forest, we arrive at a small shepherd's hut. After a quick rest and a few photos on big rocks a few minutes further on, we continue our hike up a scenic slope with vertical faces of 2K mountains towering on both sides of the trail. Once at the top of the saddle, the views open up of the Logarska Valley and beautiful high peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Please note that it's about 4 hours to the top for adults, which should make a 5-hour walk up for young families. For those of you who think you could walk some more, we can extend the hike to one of the beautiful peaks above Kamniško Sedlo (please let us know beforehand).
