Path description:
From the starting point, continue along Novi trg Street, walking northwards. After a few minutes we reach the Kamnik bypass, where we walk along the roadside for a short while, and then we see the first signs for the Old Castle, which direct us to a wide and beautifully landscaped nature trail. The trail quickly starts to climb quite steeply and turns into a forest, through which it then climbs for quite some time. During the ascent, we see several benches and trail signs, and just above the area where there is a greater number of small mills and trail signs, we arrive at a crossroads where we continue straight ahead (sharp left to Stari grad) in the direction of the hunting trail to Visoko spica. A little further on, the path splits into two parts again, and we continue on the right path, which crosses the asphalt road Kamnik - Stari grad a little higher up.
On the other side of the road, the path climbs steeply, and then we arrive at a crossroads, where we continue to the right. After a few minutes of moderate climbing, the path leads to a lookout point with numerous benches.
From the viewpoint, continue slightly to the left and walk a few steps to the registration box at Visoki špica.
