Path 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 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 a little left and then on the right we notice an unmarked turn-off of poorly beaten path which starts ascending. At first, we are still ascending on a settled path, and then the path changes into a forest footpath, on which in few minutes we ascend on 398 meters high peak, on which there are renovated ruins of the castle Stari grad.
