Path description:
From the starting point, we at first cross the road, and then we continue on a side road, that runs right from the chapel. The road leads us past few more houses, and then behind the last house, the asphalt ends and the road few meters further changes into a cart track, and it splits into two parts.
We continue straight (left one of the paths on Pusti grad) on a cart track which continues by the edge of a small valley, and then we quickly get to a saddle, where there is a marked crossing. To the left continues the path on Pusti grad, to the right unmarked path branches off on Vreče, and we continue straight in the direction of Fux footbridge and Radovljica. After the saddle the cart track which continues through the forest starts slightly to moderately descending, and during the descent it leads us past few information boards of natural learning trail. A little lower path leads also past the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, and when we step out of the forest, cart track leads us on private path. When after the private path, the path returns into the forest, it again splits, and we continue right on the bottom path (left Galerije) in the direction of Radovljica. When the forest gets again a little thinner another path branches off to the left on Pusti grad (normal path from Radovljica on Pusti grad), and we continue slightly right and on a cart track we start descending towards Fux footbridge.
Before the Fux footbridge, near the bench with a nice view towards footbridge and river Sava, we continue left on the path by Sava. We continue walking on the right bank of river Sava, and by the path further we notice an information board of the path by Sava. After the animals, boulders and former bridge the path avoids the river a little to the left and it ascends diagonally out of the forest on a grassy plain, through which with nice views, we reach the edge of the settlement Lancovo, where we step on an asphalt road. While walking on the asphalt road path leads also past the hydrological station Sava Radovljica, and behind it we reach the main road which we follow right through a bridge over the river Sava. On the other side of the bridge we continue left, at first on the macadam road which already after few 10 strides ends. A gentle path further leads on the left bank of river Sava, and it also leads us past fishes, and after a small bridge over the side stream it turns a little to the right and it avoids river Sava. Next follows some alternately walking through the forest and through meadows, and then we get to a larger meadow, where short, less than 5 minutes long path towards the stream Lehnjak and its source branches off to the right. If we decided, that we view the mentioned stream, we return on "main" path and then we continue in the direction of Šobec. A little further, at few bee houses we reach the macadam road, and then a little ahead also the other wider road which we follow left downwards. After a short descent, we reach a large parking lot by Šobčev bajer, where we continue left and through the entrance into camp we walk to Šobčev bajer.
During the swimming season the access to the lake is payable.
