Photogenic Kamniško Sedlo

A Day Tour, 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 and follow our trail for Kamniško Sedlo. After about an hour and a half 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.
