Route description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to the cashier's desk, where we buy tickets, and then we enter the park Arboretum Volčji Potok. We at first walk straight on a wider walking path which leads along a small stream and from there views open up on the landscaped park and part of Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Further there are several crossings, and past French Garden (Francoski vrt) we walk to the coffee shop. From the coffee shop we go right and we continue on a wide walking path. A little further, the path splits, and we continue slightly left in the direction of the castle ruins. Further, we ascend slightly to moderately on the macadam road, and then a few minutes higher, at the crossroad we continue left. From the crossroad only a short ascent follows and the path brings us to renovated ruins of the castle Stari grad.
