A nice walk that will take around an hour, a very nice view, and when you "climb" it, you can get a nice cup of tea and maybe a pretzel while you're on top!

Kamnik's Old Castle is one of the oldest castles in Gorenjska. It was placed high above the city and well fortified with a defensive wall. The extraordinary location at the dominant point enabled its owners to control the traffic routes leading from Styria through the Tuhinj valley past Kamnik to Gorenjska and Primorska. The ruins of the castle on the top of Krniska gora are poorly preserved.

The best way to reach the Gora Hill is to start at Snovik Spa and head towards the village of Snovik. Afterwards, you need to turn right at the chapel. The marked trail will lead you to the village of Hruševka. Once you cross Hruševka Stream, turn right onto the cart track that leads to the top of Gora, where the fortified Church of Saint Nicholas with the caretaker’s quarters is located.
