Grintovec, Mountain summit in Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Slovenia

Grintovec is the highest summit of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, reaching 2,558 metres. Its southern top slope, called Streha, is scree-covered and partly grassy lower down, while the southeastern ridge Dolga stena drops steeply and the western and southwestern faces are sheer cliffs toward Dolci and Suhi dol. The northeastern ridge connects it via Mlinar Saddle to Dolgi hrbet (2,473 m).

The botanist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli made the first documented ascent of this peak in 1759, driven by a scientific interest in the plants growing at altitude. This early visit helped establish the mountain as a known destination in the alpine world.

The mountain gives its name to the Gorski tek na Grintovec, a mountain running race held on its slopes. The Zois Lodge at Kokra Saddle (1793 m), a starting point for the southern route over the Streha slope, is named after the botanist and mountain-flower enthusiast Karl Zois (1756–1799).

The most common starting point is Kamniška Bistrica, where marked trails lead steadily upward through forest and then onto open rocky ground. Solid footwear is strongly recommended, as the upper sections are steep and uneven.

Although Triglav is the most famous peak in Slovenia, Grintovec holds the second highest topographic prominence in the country. This means that it stands out more independently from the surrounding terrain than almost any other summit in Slovenia.
