Access to the starting point:
Drive into Škofja Loka past Partizanska cesta and turn towards Tavčarjeva street. A few ten metres before the road after Tavčarjeva Street, you will see a road going uphill, with a Kamnitnik sign on it. Turn uphill and in a few metres you will see a dirt road. Drive to the end of the dirt road and you will reach the Kamnitnik climbing site.
Path description:
From the starting point, follow the path past the climbing area. You will reach the old stairs. Start climbing. When you reach the top of Maly Kamnitnik, do not turn left but go straight through the forest. The path starts to descend. Do not turn anywhere, go straight ahead and you will reach an exposed descent. Go down and you will reach a plateau. Go straight ahead and turn onto a dirt road. Take a few steps on the dirt road and you can see a slightly overgrown path to the right, leading to Srednji Kamnitnik. There is some space at the top and a 10 metre drop.
Go straight ahead from here. The path starts to descend steeply and you come to a dense grove where there is a huge rock. Go past the rock and you will reach the path between Srednji Kamnitnik and Kamnitnik nad Škofjo Loko. It descends into a ravine. Turn right, towards the huge blackberry trees and soon you will come to a slightly exposed descent on the rocks. Cross the meadow and turn into the forest. The path starts to climb steeply and soon after you reach a crossroads. Turn left, cross the meadow, enter the forest and you are on the plateau at Kamnitnik. We have reached a dirt road. We turn to the top of Kamnitnik, and a beautiful view of Škofja Loka opens up. Go straight ahead and you will find yourself next to a grove of spruce trees. From here on we come back to the forest, this time at a crossroads we turn left onto a path through the forest, we walk more than half of it and turn left a little before climbing uphill. Go straight ahead through the moss and you will come to an exposed rise. After a steep climb, you reach the top of a meadow, continue along the meadow and reach a dirt road. Go down to the asphalt pavement, turn towards the baseball field between the spruce trees and go onto the Old Partizanska Street (lower blocks). Go past the cemetery and continue across the road, you will find yourself on the Partizanska Street. From Partizanska cesta we walk back to the starting point and our trip is over.
