Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Radovljica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Radovljica. In the first a little larger crossroad we turn left in Radovljica, after that soon left in the direction of Tinaraft. At the next crossroad, only few 10 meters ahead, again right in the direction of Tinaraft, Zbirni center Radovljica and natural learning trail Pusti grad. Further, we drive on the road Savska cesta, which is for most of the time gently descending, and then after the underpass under the railway track brings us to the settled parking lot, by which there are signs for natural learning trail Pusti grad. We park on the mentioned parking lot.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, where there is information board of natural learning trail, we continue right on a wide path, by which we notice signs for Fux footbridge. The path immediately goes into the forest, through which is mostly lightly descending. At the crossings, we follow the wider path, or the one by which there are signs for natural learning trail. Further, the path leads us also past the field for paintball, and then we descend to Fux footbridge, before which is company Tinaraft d.o.o.
Next follows passage over the river Sava on Fux footbridge, and then after few steps of ascent we get to a pleasant bench with a view on footbridge and Sava.
From the bench we continue straight (right path Pot ob Savi, possible continuation to Šobčev bajer) and after a short ascent on a cart track we get to the next crossing, where we continue straight (right castle Pusti grad over Ravnica). The path ahead leads through the forest and then at the next crossing we continue slightly left in the direction of Kamna Gorica and after few additional strides, we get to private path, where we bypass the nearby house. Behind the house, the private path ends, and the path leads us through a short panoramic meadow. Further, the path leads us past the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes and also past few information boards of natural learning trail. After a shorter little steeper ascent we get to a small saddle (by the saddle there is a smaller cross), where we continue left on an unmarked path (right Pusti grad).
Already after few steps of ascent, the path again splits, and we continue on the bottom right path (on the ridge Ojstri vrh - path, which bypasses Zjavka). Also at the next small crossings we stick to the right path, and a moderately steep path quickly brings us to Zjavka, from which a beautiful view opens up.
On Zjavka, behind the "woodshed" we continue left, where we step on a cart track which for some time descends a little and then it brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue on the right cart track. Next follows a walk with some shorter ascents and descents, and when we get to a marked crossing we continue sharply left (straight on a cart track Zgornja Dobrava - 15 minutes) on a footpath in the direction of Ojstra peč, to which we get to, in a minute of additional walking.
