Path description:
From the health center we continue on the road towards the south, and it gradually starts at first gently, and then moderately ascending. When Kamnik ends, the road passes into the forest and starts ascending even a little steeper. Higher, the path leads us through short panoramic slopes, and then after the nearby farm, it returns into the forest and starts turning more and more to the left. Few minutes we still walk on the main road towards Palovče, and then we continue left in the direction towards the castle Stari grad.
From the crossroad ahead we are for few minutes still moderately ascending, and then the road flattens and for few minutes passes out of the forest. When the path returns into the forest, it starts descending and brings us on the saddle between Visoka špica and Krniška gora. From here only a short ascent follows and the path brings us to the ruins of the former castle and inn Gostišče Grof Andeš.
