Šobčev bajer - Castle Lipniški grad (Pusti grad above Lipnica) (via Boltar)

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 macadam road curves slightly to the left, we continue right onto 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 reach an asphalt road, where you turn right and cross the Sava River on a bridge. After the bridge, leave the path along the Sava and continue walking along the main road. When Lancovo ends, you can clearly see the hill Pusti grad on the left, and at a small crossroads, before the main road turns left, we continue slightly to the right on a narrower, initially still asphalted road. Higher up, the tarmac ends for a while, and then, when we reach a village with a few houses, the tarmac reappears and we continue straight on at the junctions. When we reach the main road Lancovo - Kamna Gorica, we just cross it and then continue our ascent on a steeper road, which quickly leads to the Boltar homestead, where the road ends.
After the homestead, continue along the cart track, which initially leads us past a goat house, while still enjoying the beautiful views, and then transitively passes into the forest. This is followed by a peripheral crossing of a clearing, and then we arrive at a marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Pusti grad (straight ahead Radovljica and Kamna Gorica). From the crossroads, it is only a minute's walk, and the path leads us to the ruins of the Deserted Castle (Pustega grad).
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (March).
