Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the asphalt road, and then we continue right towards Stahovica. Already after few steps we step on the bridge over Kamniška Bistrica, from which a nice view opens up on the lake at the source of Kamniška Bistrica. Immediately after the bridge, the path Pot ob izviru branches off to the left downwards, and we continue by the asphalt road few more 10 meters to a marked crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of memorial park, Plečnik's mansion and International Picnic Center "Pri Jurju". Next follows a shorter descent on a macadam road, and after the bridge across Kamniška Bistrica we quickly ascend to International Picnic Center "Pri Jurju".
After the center "pri Jurju" the road passes into the forest, and when we reach a larger clearing we are already at Plečnik's mansion.
The mansion we bypass on the left side, and the worse road, by which we are accompanied by blazes returns into the forest. Further, we are at first we still gently ascending, and then the path becomes steeper and it brings us to a crossing at the wooden bridge.
We continue straight (right over the bridge we reach the road towards Jermanca and cableway V Koncu) and above the dam signs for memorial park point us to the right, where we then go diagonally across the torrent. On the other side of the torrent we continue on a marked path, which goes into the forest, and it quickly brings us to Memorial park. Through the park we follow a wider footpath, from which there's more turn-offs to individual memorial plaques.
The park ends before the torrent, after which we reach the before mentioned macadam road.
We can descend on the ascent route, on the macadam road, or marked path which leads north from the macadam road and before Dom v Kamniški Bistrici joins the path on the road.
