The Kamnik–Savinja Alps (Slovene: Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe) are a mountain range of the Southern Limestone Alps. They lie in northern Slovenia, except for the northernmost part, which lies in Austria. The western part of the range was named Kamnik Alps (German: Steiner Alpen) in 1778 by the scientists Belsazar Hacquet and Franz Xaver von Wulfen, after the town of Kamnik (Stein) in the valley of the Kamniška Bistrica River. Its eastern part was named Savinja (Sanntaler) or Solčava Alps (Sulzbacher Alpen) by the mountaineer Johannes von Frischauf in 1875, after the Solčava (Sulzbach) settlement and the main river, the upper Savinja. That Monday we climbed five entry grade alpin routes, among them one brand new, named Modra sled (Blue Trail) on a 2110 m high Mountain Veliki Vrh na Dleskovški planoti.
