Zgornja Dobrava - Castle Lipniški grad (Pusti grad above Lipnica) (via Zjavka and through Galerije)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Podbrezje (to here from Gorenjska highway exit Naklo or Tržič), and then we follow the signs for Kropa. In the settlement Lipnica we don't drive in Kropa, but we continue driving right towards Kamna Gorica. A little further, we leave the main road and we continue driving right towards Zgornja Dobrava. After approximately 500 meters of ascent we get to Zgornja Dobrava, and we drive for few 100 meters ahead, to a crossroad on a smaller saddle, where a road towards Srednja Dobrava branches off to the right. At the mentioned crossroad is the beginning of described footpath, but there aren't any parking spots. We can park lower by the road, or higher on part of the described path.
B) We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Radovljica, and then we drive to Mošnje and forward towards the settlement Globoko, where we also cross river Sava. When we get to the settlement Mišače we continue straight towards Zgornja Dobrava, in Zgornja Dobrava we get to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the left towards Srednja Dobrava. At the mentioned crossroad is the beginning of described footpath, but there aren't any parking spots. We can park lower by the road, or higher on part of the described path.

Path description:
From the crossroad, we go on the road which continues towards the northwest (opposite road as the one which leads towards Srednja Dobrava), and at first, it leads past the hayrack and with nice views on Jamnik. When the asphalt ends we notice signs for Ojstra peč, which points us on the forest road, from which we soon go, at the unmarked crossroad right on a wide, at first still driving cart track. On the cart track soon from the right also the path from Mišače joins, and we go straight on a gradually narrower cart track which continues with some shorter ascents and descents. After a little less than 20 minutes of walking, we get to the next marked crossing, where we continue in the direction of Zjavka (slightly right Ojstra peč 1 minute).
From the cart track on which we continue only few steps further a wider path branches off to the right (path which leads further towards Pusti grad, Fux footbridge - path, which bypasses Zjavka), and we continue on a cart track which continues with some shorter ascents and descents. After few minutes, the cart track splits, and we once again continue on the left cart track. Cart track a little further for some time descends, and then it ascends on panoramic Zjavka.
Behind the "woodshed" on Zjavka we continue right and start descending diagonally. After few minutes of descent, we get to a smaller cross, where there is a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue straight in the direction of natural learning trail Pusti grad (right - Fux footbridge and Radovljica, left - Kamna Gorica). After few steps the path again splits, and we continue on the right path, which quickly takes us to Galerije (slightly left path bypasses Galerije and is a little shorter). Next follows an interesting path through Galerije, where in the spring time we can besides the wild garlic and spring snowflake, notice notice also a quite rare three-leaved anemone (Anemone trifolia), which we can quickly mix up with a more common wood anemone, which also grows in Galerije. After the window "okno v svet", the path turns a little to the left and it brings us on an indistinct ridge, where we return on a better beaten path, which bypasses Galerije.
After the junction of the mentioned path we step out of the forest and the path through a meadow brings us to the settlement Zgornja Lipnica, where at the crossings we follow the signs for Pusti grad. Next follows a walk on a gently sloping macadam road which after few minutes joins another path from Fux footbridge. We still continue on the road which then brings us to the next houses, where at the crossings we again follow the signs for Pusti grad. 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.
