Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Radovljica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Radovljica. In the first a little larger crossroad we turn left in Radovljica, after that soon left in the direction of Tinaraft. At the next crossroad, only few 10 meters ahead, again right in the direction of Tinaraft, Zbirni center Radovljica and natural learning trail Pusti grad. Further, we drive on the road Savska cesta, which is for most of the time gently descending, and then after the underpass under the railway track brings us to the settled parking lot, by which there are signs for natural learning trail Pusti grad. We park on the mentioned parking lot.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, where there is information board of natural learning trail, we continue right on a wide path, by which we notice signs for Fux footbridge. The path immediately goes into the forest, through which is mostly lightly descending. At the crossings, we follow the wider path, or the one by which there are signs for natural learning trail. Further, the path leads us also past the field for paintball, and then we descend to Fux footbridge, before which is company Tinaraft d.o.o.
Next follows passage over the river Sava on Fux footbridge, and then after few steps of ascent we get to a pleasant bench with a view on footbridge and Sava.
From the bench we continue straight (right - path by the river Sava, possible continuation to Šobčev bajer) and after a short ascent on a cart track we get to the next crossing, where we continue right (straight - Kamna Gorica and a natural learning trail). The path ahead leads us on a wide cart track which in a semicircle bypasses the nearby meadow. When the path returns into the forest, at the crossing we continue right, and when we get to the village, in the middle of the village we go again right. The path ahead leads us on a narrower asphalt road which leads us by the edge of a panoramic meadow. When the road passes into the forest, at the part where it starts descending, we will by the road notice a sand for sprinkling roads, and on the left side of the road, we will notice a cart track which starts ascending on a slope. We continue on the mentioned cart track which ascends steeply through a site of wild garlic, and then it brings us out of the forest on a meadow, which we at first cross, and then a worse grassy cart track turns left and reaches an asphalt road, where we continue sharply right and we ascend past the last house. Behind the last house a beautiful view opens up towards the Alps, after we again step in the forest, we get to a crossing, where a short path branches off to the left, which leads on Pusti grad. From the crossing, we reach the castle Pusti grad after approximately a minute of additional walking.
