At the crossroad where the road continues straight towards Kropa, turn right and a little further arrive in Kamna Gorica, where in the middle of the settlement, by the sports field and playground we park on a smaller parking lot.
B) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana highway take the Lesce or Radovljica exit, then continue driving in the direction of Radovljica and later the villages Lancovo, Lipnica and Kamna Gorica. When we arrive in Kamna Gorica we park on a smaller parking lot by the children's playground.
Route description:
From the starting point we first cross the road, then continue on the side road that runs to the right of the chapel. The road leads us past a few more houses, then behind the last house the asphalt ends and a few metres further the road changes into a cart track, which splits into two parts.
We continue straight (left one of the paths to Pusti grad) along the cart track that continues along the edge of the valley, along it we quickly arrive at a saddle where there is a marked junction. To the left continues the path to Pusti grad, to the right branches off an unmarked path to Vreče, we continue straight in the direction of Fux footbridge and Radovljica. After the saddle the cart track continuing through the forest begins to descend slightly to moderately, during the descent it leads us past a few information boards of the natural science educational trail. Somewhat lower the path leads us past the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, when we step out of the forest the cart track leads us along a private path. When after the private path the path returns into the forest it splits again, we continue right along the lower path (left Galerije) in the direction of Radovljica. When the forest thins out somewhat again a path to Pusti grad branches off to the left (usual path from Radovljica to Pusti grad), we continue slightly right and begin to descend along the cart track towards the Fux footbridge.
Before the Fux footbridge near the bench with a nice view of the footbridge and river Sava we continue left onto the path along Sava. We continue walking along the right bank of the Sava river, along the path further we notice information boards of the path along Sava. After the animals, boulders and former bridge the path moves away from the river slightly to the left and ascends transversely out of the forest onto a grassy plain, across which with nice views we reach the edge of Lancovo settlement where we step onto an asphalt road. During the walk along the asphalt road the path leads us past the hydrological station Sava Radovljica, behind it we reach the main road which we follow right across the bridge over the Sava river. On the other side of the bridge we continue left, first along a macadam road which ends after a few dozen steps. The gentle path then leads along the left bank of the Sava river, it also leads us past fish, then after a small bridge over the side stream it turns slightly right and moves away from the Sava river. There follows some alternating walking through the forest and across meadows, then we arrive at a larger meadow where to the right branches off a short path less than 5 minutes long to the Lehnjak stream and its source. If we have decided to view the mentioned stream we return to the "main" path and then continue in the direction of Šobec. A little further at a few apiaries we reach a macadam road, along it a little further another wider road which we follow left downhill. After a short descent we reach a large parking lot by Šobčev bajer where we continue left and through the entrance to the camp walk to Šobčev bajer.
During the swimming season access to the bajer is payable.
