Stari grad

Literally the "Old Castle", this 13th-century structure now lies in ruins. Half the fun is the hike up the hill, through a forest and a meadow; keep an eye out for miniature cascade of water through pinwheels halfway up. Up top, you'll be rewarded with commanding views over the plains north to the Alps and south all the way to Ljubljana. The newest feature is a sightseeing platform that stands out and allows to reach farther out.

Getting there: 30-min hike from trailhead off Maistrova ul (when coming from the old city, take the bridge at the end of Usnjarka cesta (where the Spar supermarket is), cross the street and go some 50 m to the left, the trail starts at the end of the wall

Mali grad
The "Small Castle" may lie in ruins, but the chapel next to it is still in one piece and, with its shapely curves and hilltop location, has become Kamnik's symbol. Entry into the chapel, featuring some 16th-century frescoes, but views from the hill over the red roofs of the town are free.
