Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Naklo, Podtabor or Brezje, then continue in the direction of Kropa. At the junction where the road continues straight on towards Kropa, turn right and continue a little further to Kamna Gorica, where you will find a small parking lot in the middle of the village, next to the sports ground and playgrounds.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana take the exit Lesce or Radovljica, then continue in the direction of Radovljica and later the villages Lancovo, Lipnica and Kamna Gorica. When you arrive in Kamna Gorica, park in the small parking lot next to the children's playground.
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. The path to Pusti grad continues to the left, the unmarked path to Vreče branches off to the right, and we continue straight on in the direction of Fuxova brv and Radovljica. After the pass, the cart track, which continues through the forest, begins to descend gently to moderately, and during the descent leads us past some information boards of the nature trail. A little lower down, the trail leads past a statue of the Mother of God of Lourdes, and when we leave the forest, cart track leads us along a private path. When the path returns to the forest after the private path, it splits again, and we continue to the right along the lower path (left of the Galleries) in the direction of Radovljica. When the forest thins out again, another path branches off to the left to Pusti grad (the usual route from Radovljica to Pusti grad), and we continue slightly to the right and start descending towards Fux's footbridge on the cart track path (the cart track path).
Before Fuxova brv, near a bench with a nice view of the footbridge and the Sava River, we continue left on the path along the Sava. Continue walking along the right bank of the Sava River, and along the way you will see information boards for the Sava Trail. After the animals, the boulder and the former bridge, the path follows the river a little to the left and climbs out of the forest across a grassy plain, over which, with fine views, you reach the edge of the settlement Lancovo, where you come out onto an asphalt road. While walking on the asphalt road, the path leads past the hydrological station Sava Radovljica, and after it you reach the main road, which you follow to the right over a bridge over the Sava River. On the other side of the bridge, continue left, initially on a dirt road, which ends after only 10 steps. The gently sloping path continues along the left bank of the Sava River, leading us past the fish, and then, after a small bridge over a side stream, it turns slightly to the right and gives way to the Sava River. There is some alternating walking through woods and across meadows, and then you arrive at a larger meadow where a short path, less than 5 minutes long, branches off to the right towards the Lehnjak stream and its source. If you decide to visit the stream, return to the 'main' path and then continue towards Šobec. A little further on, at some beehives, you reach a macadam road, and a little further on another wider road, which you follow down to the left. After a short descent, you will reach a large parking lot at Šobčev bajer, where you continue to the left and walk through the entrance to the bivouac to Šobčovo bajerje. During the bathing season, access to the lake is free of charge.
