Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce, and then we continue driving towards Bled. Still before Bled we notice signs for camp Šobec, which point us to the left on the road, on which we quickly get to a large parking lot, which is located before the entrance into the camp. Parking lot or the last part of the road is in part of the year payable. During a high summer season is payable also the entrance into the camp or access to Šobčev bajer.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a driving road which continues left from the fenced area of Šobčev bajer and it starts ascending diagonally. When a wider macadam road turns a little to the left, we continue right on a side road, by which there are signs for path Pot ob Savi. With a view on Babji zob and surrounding hills we quickly get to few bee houses, after which the road changes into a cart track. When only a little further we get to a larger meadow, a short less than 5 minutes long path branches off to the left towards the stream Lehnjak and its source, and if we don't view the stream, we continue straight, otherwise we return to the mentioned crossing and we continue in the direction of Lancovo. When we leave a larger meadow the path continues alternately through the forest and partly through meadows. When we get to a smaller footbridge, we cross it, and then we continue along the left bank of the river Sava, where it leads us past fishes. After few minutes of walking along the river we reach an asphalt road, where we continue right and then on the bridge we cross river Sava. After the bridge, we leave the path along river Sava and we continue walking by the main road. When Lancovo ends, on the left we already clearly see the hill, on which there is castle Pusti grad, and at the smaller crossroad, still before the main road turns left, we continue slightly right on a narrower, at first still asphalted road. Higher the asphalt for some time ends, and when we reach the settlement with some houses, the asphalt appears again, and at the crossroads, we continue straight. When we higher reach the main road Lancovo - Kamna Gorica, we only cross it, and then we continue the ascent on a steeper road, on which we quickly get to homestead Boltar, where the road ends.
Behind the homestead, we continue on a cart track which at first still with nice views leads past the hayrack, and then for some time passes into the forest. Next we on the edge cross a clearing, and then we get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the castle Pusti grad (straight - Radovljica and Kamna Gorica). From the crossing follows only a minute of walking and the path brings us to the ruins of the castle Pusti grad.
