Access to starting point:
We drive to Tržič, and then we continue driving towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska. Still in Tržič, after the parish church and cemetery, which are right from the road, we turn left on a bridge over Tržiška Bistrica (before the bridge there is a sign, that vehicles above 8.5 tons are not allowed to cross the bridge). After the bridge there is the beginning of the described path, and we park at the appropriate place.
Path description:
From the bridge, we continue on the asphalt road which leads us past some buildings, and then it starts ascending diagonally towards the right. Few 10 meters further from the transformer we continue slightly left, on a cart track which ascends past gardens and after them passes into the forest. In the forest signs for Kamnek from the cart track point us slightly to the left, on the path which is at first ascending parallel with the cart track, and then turns left and it ascends diagonally to a few minutes distant crossing.
From the crossing, we continue on the right path via Ride (left - Kamnek on the path Po Seili), which is still ascending through the forest. At first, we are diagonally ascending towards the right, and then we reach an indistinct side ridge of Kamnek, where we are in short hairpin turns steeply ascending towards the main ridge of Kamnek, which we soon also reach.
When we reach it, we join the path Po Seili and the path Radetzkyjeva pot, and we continue right to the nearby crossing, where we go once again right towards the summit of Kamnek (slightly left path bypasses the peak). Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent on an increasingly panoramic path and we reach 873 meters high peak above Tržič.
