Brana, Mountain summit in Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Slovenia

Brana is a 2,253-meter ridge mountain in the Kamnik Alps of northern Slovenia, the easternmost summit of the Grintovec group. It lies between the Logar Valley to the north and the Kamniška Bistrica Valley to the south. Its grassy top drops southwest over a steep rock face into the Kotliški Graben and the Kotliči saddle, where it joins Turska Gora.

The first recorded ascent took place in 1875 when mountaineers Anton Bauer and J. Seidl climbed the eastern route to reach the limestone peak. This early climb marked the start of modern exploration of the mountain by organized alpinists.

Brana is the easternmost summit of the Grintovec group, and its Slovene name is also the ordinary word for "gate" or "barrier", fitting a peak that closes the Kamnik ridge on its eastern end. The two lodges on the approaches, the Frischauf Lodge at Okrešelj and the Kamnik Saddle Lodge, are named after the Ljubljana branch of the Slovene Mountaineering Society and the saddle below the summit.

Two main starting points offer different routes to reach the summit: the Frischauf Lodge at Okrešelj and the Kamnik Saddle Lodge, each with varying difficulty levels. The climb demands moderate fitness and familiarity with mountain terrain, using well-marked trails that vary with the seasons.

Brana is the easternmost summit of the Grintovec group, and its grassy top falls away southwest over a sheer wall into the Kotliški Graben and the Kotliči notch, where it meets Turska Gora. To the north, short broken rock leads onto the grassy Boštjanca slopes above Okrešelj. The longest side, the southern wall, ends in forest above the Kamniška Bistrica valley between Sedelšček and Konec.
