At the junction where the road continues straight on towards Kropa, turn right and continue a little further to Kamna Gorica, where you can park in a small parking lot in the middle of the village, next to the sports ground and playgrounds.

Path description:
From the starting point, first cross the road and then continue along the side road to the right of the chapel. The road leads us past a few more houses, then behind the last house the asphalt ends and the road turns into cart track a few metres further on, and the road splits into two parts.
Continue straight on (one of the paths to Pusti grad on the left) along cart track, which continues along the edge of the valley, and quickly reaches a pass where there is a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue left towards the nature trail Pusti grad (straight ahead Fuxova brv and Radovljica, unmarked trail to Vreče on the right), where after a short climb from the left the above-mentioned trail leading to Pusti grad joins. Further on, a gently sloping path leads us steeply above the Galleries, and a little further on we join the path through the Galleries. After the junction of the above-mentioned path, we leave the forest and the path leads us across the hayfield to the settlement Zgornja Lipnica, where at the crossroads we 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, we get a nice view of the route to the Alps, and then, when we enter the forest again, 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.
