Šobčev bajer - Castle Lipniški grad (Pusti grad above Lipnica) (via Fux footbridge and over Ravnica)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Lesce and then continue to Bled. Before Bled, you will see signs for the Šobec bivouac, which will direct you to the left onto the road, which will quickly take you to the large parking lot in front of the bivouac entrance. The parking lot, or the back part of the road, is charged for part of the year. During the high summer season, the entrance to the bivouac or the access to Šobče lake is also charged.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the carriageway, which continues to the left of the Šobčev bajer fenced area and begins to climb transversely. When the wider dirt road curves slightly to the left, we continue to the right on a side road with signs for the path along the Sava River. Looking at Babji zob and the surrounding hills, we quickly reach some beehives, after which the road turns into cart track. When we reach a larger meadow just a little further on, a short path, less than 5 minutes long, branches off to the left towards the Lehnjak stream and its source, and we, if we don't see the stream, continue straight on, but otherwise return to the above-mentioned crossroads and continue in the direction of Lancove. After leaving the larger meadow, the path continues alternately through the forest and partly across meadows. When you reach a small footbridge, cross it and then continue along the left bank of the Sava River, where it leads you past the fish. After a few minutes of walking along the river, you will reach an asphalt road, where you continue to the right and then cross the Sava River on a bridge. After the bridge, go left, where the path first leads you past the hydrological station Sava Radovljica, and then the asphalt road ends after a few houses. The path continues across a large meadow and then turns into a forest on the other side. Through the forest, follow cart track, which descends cross-wise to the Sava, and then continue along a winding path which continues close to the river. The trail continues past a former bridge, a boulder and an animal, and then reaches Fuxova brv, where it joins the trail from Radovljica.
Continue right here and after a short climb along cart track you reach the next crossroads, where you continue right (straight ahead Kamna Gorica and the nature trail). The way ahead leads you along the wide cart track, which goes round the nearby meadow in a semicircle. When the path returns to the woods, bear right at the crossroads and then right again when you reach the village. The path ahead leads along a narrower asphalt road, which takes you along the edge of a meadow with a view. As the road enters the woods, you will see gritting sand along the road where it starts to descend, and on the left-hand side of the road, cart track, which starts to climb up the slope. Continue along the above-mentioned cart track, which climbs steeply through a stand of hemlock, then leads out of the woods onto a hayfield, which is first crossed, then the less grassy cart track curves left to reach an asphalt road, where it continues sharp right and climbs past the back of the house. 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.
