Access to the starting point:
From Ljubljana, Kranj or Gorenjska vas, drive to Škofja Loka and park in one of the car parks near Loško castle.
Path description:
From the starting point, first walk to Loško Castle, then continue the ascent along the marked and initially still asphalted road. The road soon loses its asphalt coating and leads to the grassy slopes. With the views of Lubnik, Škofja Loka and Kamnik Savinja Alps getting better and better, within a few minutes of further walking we reach the viewing platform at Kranclju.
From the viewing platform, the road descends to the Grebenar homestead, from where the ascent continues along the macadam road in the direction of Lubnika. After a short climb, enter the forest, where the road turns into cart track. After a few minutes of walking through the forest, the path descends to the nearby road leading from Škofja Loka towards Gabrovo and Breznica.
The road is reached just at the serpentine, where there are a few parking places, and we continue to the right in the direction of Stary grad (straight on the Lubnik road over Gabrovo, straight on the Lubnik footpath over Lužo).
We continue along the cart track, which crosses the slopes to the right, then turns left and leads us to a viewpoint of the Kamniško Savinjske Alps. There is a short descent, and then the path turns right across a ravine, from which you quickly climb to a marked crossroads. Here, continue right in the direction of the Old Castle, which is only a few minutes' walk away.
