Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we go to the exit Celje - center, and then we continue driving towards Vojnik, Frankolovo and Zreče. At the end of the Frankolovo, we will notice signs for Lindek Castle (Grad Lindek), which point us to the left on a narrower and ascending asphalt road. By the mentioned road, we then park on an appropriate place.
Path description:
Few minutes we walk on the asphalt road, and then we get to a smaller crossroad, where we don't continue left or right, but straight on a marked cart track in the direction of Lindek Castle, Kislica and Stenica. The path ahead is ascending on a cart track, by the riverbed of the stream Belski potok. Higher, we cross the mentioned stream and the path brings us to 9 meters high waterfall Lindeški slap. Above the waterfall, the path passes on little steeper slopes, and then it flattens and turns slightly to the right. Next follows few minutes of a gentle ascent through the forest and then the path brings us to the nearby macadam road. We follow the road to the right, and only after few steps it brings us on a small saddle, where there is a marked crossing.
Here we continue right in the direction of Lindek Castle (left on the road - Stenica) and we continue on a cart track which is gently ascending through the forest. This path, we then follow all the way to the ruins of the Lindek Castle, and there we get after approximately 10 minutes of additional walking.
