The kamnic Alps

The the kamnic Alps (German: Steiner Alpen ) or the Alps de Savinja (German: Sannthaler Alpen or Sulzbacher Alpen ) is a solid mass of the Eastern Préalpes Southerners. They rise mainly in Slovenia (Low-Styrie, province of Carinthie, Carniole), but also in negligible part in Austria (Land of Carinthie).

They hold their name of the town of Kamnik in the south-west of the solid mass, not far from Ljubljana, the Slovenien capital. Slavinja as for it is a river which takes its source there and runs out towards the east.

They belong to the whole of the the Alps juliennes.

The Grintovec is the culminating point of the solid mass.
