Zgornja Dobrava - Castle Lipniški grad (Pusti grad above Lipnica) (via Ojstra peč)

Access to the starting point:
a) Take the Podbrezje exit (to get here from the Gorenjska motorway, take the Naklo or Tržič exit), then follow the signs for Kropa. At Lipnica, do not take the Lipnica exit to Kropa, but continue driving to the right towards Kamna Gorica. A little further on, leave the main road and turn right towards Zgornja Dobrava. After about 500 metres of ascent, we reach Zgornja Dobrava, and we drive on for another 100 metres to a junction on a small pass, where the road to Srednja Dobrava branches off to the right. At this junction, the footpath described above begins, but there are no parking spaces. You can park lower down on the road, or higher up on the part of the path description.
b) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Radovljica, then take exit Mošnje and continue towards the village of Globoko, where you will also cross the Sava River. When you reach Mišače, continue straight on to Zgornja Dobrava, and in Zgornja Dobrava you will reach a crossroads where the road to Srednja Dobrava branches off to the left. At this junction, the footpath described above begins, but there are no parking spaces. You can park lower down on the road, or higher up on the part of the path description.

Path description:
From the crossroads, take the road that continues north-west (the opposite road from the one leading to Srednja Dobrava), which initially takes you past the goat house and along the beautiful views of Jamnik. When the asphalt ends, we see signs for Ojstra peč, which directs us to a forest road, from which we soon turn right at an unmarked junction onto the wide, initially still passable cart track. Cart track is soon joined on the right by the path from Mišače, and we continue straight ahead on the gradually narrower cart track, which continues with a few short ascents and descents. After about 20 minutes of walking we reach the next marked crossroads, where we continue right towards Ojstra peč (left Zjavka 10 minutes), which we reach after a minute of further walking.
From Ojstra peč, continue slightly left, where a short path quickly joins another path, which you follow to the right. The trail continues along an undistinguished ridge with a few short ascents and descents. At a few crossroads, follow the right-hand tracks, then the path descends steeply for a few minutes and leads to a crossroads at a small cross, where the path from Kamna Gorica joins from the left and the path from Radovljica joins from the right.
From the crossroads, continue straight ahead towards the nature trail Pusti grad. Further on, a gently sloping path leads us steeply above the Galleries, and a little further on, the path through the Galleries joins us. After the trail junction, exit the forest and the trail leads through the hayfield to the settlement Zgornja Lipnica, where at the crossroads follow the signs for Pusti grad. Walk along the dirt road, which after a few minutes is joined by another path from the Fux footbridge. Continue along the road, which then leads to the next houses, where at the crossroads you again follow the signs for Pusti grad. Behind the last house, a fine view of the route to the Alps opens up, and then, as we re-enter the forest, we arrive at a crossroads where a short path branches off to the left, leading to Pusti grad. From the crossroads, Pusti grad is reached after about a minute's further walking.
