Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), then before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we turn right downwards, where we quickly come in Tržič. At the crossroad after store Mercator we turn left in the direction of Tržič museum, and then we drive on the road Koroška cesta, which we follow through the center of the town to the nearby pizzeria. Here we turn right through old yard door and then past the parking lot for guests of pizzeria, and children's playground we drive to the parking lot by the castle.
Path description:
From the parking lot by the castle we at first descend on stairs, and then we continue left on a wide path, from which a nice view opens up on Tržič. Only a little further, we get to the chapel, where we continue straight in the direction of the path Radetzkyjeva pot. We continue the ascent on a gently sloping path, and when an arrow on the tree marks, that the path Radetzkyjeva pot continues slightly left, we continue on the right cart track (unmarked), which at first descends a little and then crosses slopes towards the right. When after few minutes the cart track turns left, and we continue straight on a forest path, which is still crossing slopes, and a little ahead we join another marked path (starting at the primary school Tržič).
The path ahead lightly ascends to a smaller saddle, where we continue left (right - a smaller hill, full of litter), and the path only a little further once again splits. We continue on a slightly right marked path which starts ascending steeply, and on a shorter part, there is also a steel cable for help. Further, we are quite steeply ascending on a forested ridge and then the path flattens and after a short descent from the right joins also the marked path from the hamlet Slap.
We continue straight, on the steep path, which higher leads past the bench. At the smaller crossing above the bench we continue on the ridge and then we get to a technically demanding spot, where with the help of fixed safety gear we steeply ascend. When fixed safety gear end the path is for a short time still steep, and then it flattens and higher joins the path Radetzkyjeva pot, and then from the right joins also the other path from the hamlet Slap, namely the path via Ride.
This time as well we continue straight, and at the next crossing we go slightly right in the direction of Kamnek (slightly left path bypasses the peak). Next follows few minutes of steep walking and a more panoramic path brings us on Kamnek.
