The "Kopinškova pot - Ojstrica" is a captivating via ferrata (secured climbing path) located in the breathtaking Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Slovenia, leading to the magnificent summit of Ojstrica. Graded 'B' on the Klettersteig scale, this route offers a fantastic introduction to the world of via ferratas, making it highly suitable for beginners with some prior experience and a good head for heights. The path is well-secured with steel ropes, pegs, and occasional short ladders, providing a relatively steady ascent without overly exposed or technically demanding sections typical of higher-graded routes. Climbers are treated to increasingly panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape, deep valleys, and jagged peaks as they ascend. While not overly strenuous, it requires surefootedness, a degree of physical fitness, and essential via ferrata equipment (helmet, harness, and via ferrata set). Reaching the summit of Ojstrica via Kopinškova pot is a truly rewarding experience, offering unparalleled vistas and a deep sense of accomplishment amidst stunning natural beauty.
