Access to the starting point:
From the Savinja Valley or from Kamnik via the Črnivec Pass, drive to Gornji Grad, where you can park in the parking lot next to the main bus station.
Path description:
From the main bus station in Gornji Grad, continue along the main road towards the Črnivec Pass and Kamnik, and walk along it for about 5 minutes, or until the crossroads, where a narrower asphalt road branches off to the right towards Lenart.
The way forward leads us along the above-mentioned road, which at first climbs gently over vast meadows. Slightly higher up, the road passes into the valley of the Kanolščica stream, which then climbs gently to moderately for some time. At all junctions, follow the road along the valley floor, and then, after about 1 hour's walk from the starting point, notice the mountain markings, which direct you left onto the path that climbs under the electricity pylons. After a few 10 m, cross a torrent and the path begins to climb steeply over sometimes quite overgrown slopes. Higher up, the path leads over a short partly difficult section where a landslide has carried away a few metres of the marked path. The path then returns to the dense forest, through which it climbs steeply for a short time, before descending and leading to a nearby road. Follow the road to the left, and we walk along it to the first bend, where at the end of it we turn left onto a marked footpath, which we follow quickly up to the Knebovšek homestead. Walk across the courtyard and then continue in the direction of Lepenatka and Rogatec. Just above the farm, the road turns into cart track, which turns right into the woods, where it crosses the slopes to the right. A little further on, cross a slightly exposed torrent, and then follow an occasionally overgrown path to a forest road. Follow the road to the right and walk past the chapel in a gentle downhill to a marked crossroads. From the crossroads, continue in the direction of St Lenart and follow the wide cart track, which will take you to the aforementioned church in 3 minutes.
From the church, continue left towards the saddle Kal and Lepenatka (straight ahead Zgornji Špeh and Rogatec) along the path that climbs above the track. After a short climb, a shorter path joins us on the left for about a minute, bypassing the Church of St Lenart. Continue straight ahead and after a further short climb, you will come out on a dirt road, which you follow to the right, and we will walk along it to a nearby crossroads.
From here, continue left in the direction of Lepenatka (straight ahead to the saddle Kal and Lepenatka and Rogatec via the above-mentioned saddle) and continue the ascent on the worse macadam road, which quickly leads us to the saddle between Ugovškim vrh on the left and Lepenatka on the right. Here we continue to the right towards the nearby hunting observation post, and the path behind it becomes more overgrown (especially in summer). The path continues through the lane ferns, then gradually passes to the ridge of Lepenatka, where it starts to climb steeply along the edge of the forest. We continue to climb along the edge of the ridge, and the path offers increasingly beautiful views of the Menino mountain pasture and Kranjska Ribera. A little higher still, we leave the last trees, and the relatively steep path quickly leads us to the top ridge, where the path from the Kal saddle joins us from the right. Here we continue straight ahead and, with a view of nearby Rogatec and the central part of Kamnik Savinja Alps, we quickly reach the top of Lepenatka.

Discussion about the trail Gornji Grad - Lepenatka (on ridge)

Danes sem naredil krožno turo, tako da imam še sveže vtise. Od parkirišča na avtobusni postaji se pohod lahko začne kakor kažejo smerne planinske table, torej proti dvorišču cerkve (table tudi za wc) in pot nadaljujemo mimo marketa Kea v levo v Novo naselje (dejansko se naselje imenuje Novo naselje  ). Če gremo samo naravnost skozi naselje se bomo znašli na glavni cesti kjer se prične pločnik. Na začetku opisane poti pločnika ni ob glavni cesti, tako da je skozi naselje bolj varno. Moja krožna pot: Od cerkvice sv.Lenarta sem se najprej namenil čez Veliki Rogatec, potem spust po zahtevni poti na sedlo Kal od koder je 30-minutni sprehod do vrha Lepenatke. Sestop direktno do Gornjega grada, kjer pa se markacije malo porazgubijo, našel kočo planšarija Lepenatka, potem pa po kmetijah spraševal za pravo pot  Bo treba ponovit, ker je res lepo. Na sami poti pa ni bilo nikogar...
