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!

The Chapel on the Mali Grad hill is one of the major cultural and artistic monuments, which falls within the greatest creations of Slovenian architectural heritage. It is connected with the legend of stingy countess Veronika, who is also depicted in the Kamnik count of arms. In 1986 Mali Grad was put under heritage protection with an Ordinance designating old town core of Kamnik.
7. Orglice Waterfall
The Orglice waterfall is an approximately 40 m high waterfall in the side valley of the Kamniska Bela torrent, a left tributary of the Kamniska Bistrica. Due to the easy access to the pools under the rock waterfall, it is a popular family excursion point.
8. Parish Church of Mary's Immaculate Conception
Sutna is a medieval settlement south of Mali grad and the current southern part of the old town in Kamnik. Sutna as a suburb of Kamnik was first mentioned in old documents in 1232 in connection with the orphanage (hospital) and the transfer of the parish seat from Nevelj to Kamnik.A special attraction of Sutna is the current church Mary's Immaculate Conception.
9. Kamnik's Old Castle
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.
10. Church of Saint Nicholas
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.
