Kočna[1][2][3] at 2,540 metres (8,330 ft) high, is the second-highest mountain in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps and the westernmost peak of the Grintovec Range (Slovene: Grintovci).

Its prominent and easily recognized peak is visible from far around.

The mountain has two peaks: the higher Jezersko Kočna (Jezerska Kočna, 2,540 metres or 8,330 feet) and the nearby lower Kokra Kočna (Slovene: Kokrska Kočna, 2,520 metres or 8,270 feet).

[1] The oronym Kočna is derived from the Slovenian common noun kočna 'cirque', referring to a valley with an amphitheater-like head and also to the valley head itself with pastures and forests below the wall of a mountain, and was applied to the mountain via metonymy.

The common noun kočna itself is derived from the Slavic root *kǫtъ 'corner'.
