Access to starting point:
A) Over the border crossing Jezerski vrh we drive to Austria, and after approximately 6 km after Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel we turn right towards Velikovec / Völkermarkt. We follow the main road towards Velikovec for 2 km, and then we again turn right, this time in the direction of the settlement Pliberk / Bleiburg. Further, we drive through the valley of Podjuna, and then at the next larger crossroad we turn right towards Pliberk. The road ahead leads through some roundabout, and we follow it further in the direction of the ski slope Peca / Petzen. Further, we drive through Bistrica pri Pliberku / Feistritz ob Bleiburg to a large parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway on Peca. From the border crossing Jezerski vrh to the starting point, there is approximately 40 km.
B) From Dravograd or Slovenj Gradec we drive to Ravne na Koroškem, and then we continue driving in the direction of border crossing Holmec. When we drive into Austria we at first drive towards Pliberk / Bleiburg, and then we follow the signs for ski slope Peca / Petzen. Further, we drive through few villages, and we follow the road to a large parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway on Peca. From the border crossing Holmec to the starting point, there is approximately 8 km.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to the bottom station of the cable car, which runs on Peca, and then we go on the path marked with number 3, 7 and 8. The path at first leads on a wide cart track, on which we quickly get to a ski track. We continue by the left edge of the ski slope, and then the path turns a little to the right and brings us into a dense forest. Here it flattens and joins the cart track, on which we slightly descend to the nearby marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue on the left ascending road, where also signs for path number 3 and 7 point us to. Only few minutes higher, the road splits into two parts, where we continue left on the path number 3 (right at first slightly downwards path number 7, which leads towards the mountain pasture Veška planina). Good 100 meters higher, we join also the marked path which leads from the village Rute / Ruttach, so further we several times cross a bad forest road. Higher, the road, on which we occasionally for some time also continue, finally ends, and we continue between two rocks in the forest. The path ahead is steeply ascending through the forest, which in hot days offers a pleasant shade. Higher forest gradually starts to get thinner, and nice views start opening up on Podjuna and mountain chain of Golica. And even a little further footpath turns quite to the left and it brings us below the steep slopes of Mala Peca, where in the middle of the turn to the right, climbing path named Walter Mory Klettersteig branches off to the left, which leads to the upper station of the cable car.
From the crossing, we continue right, where we at first diagonally ascend on steep scree, and then the path turns right and crosses a smaller gully. We for a short time cross the slopes towards the right, and then the path turns slightly towards the left, where it quickly brings us near the decaying wooden shack. From here we continue the ascent and we get to a marked crossing at the hunting cottage Na Križah.
At the crossing, we leave the path marked with number 3 and we continue right on the path number 4, which leads on Bistriška špica. From the crossing, the path descends a little and then turns sharply to the right and it gradually passes on the slopes, which we watched during the ascent on the right side of the valley. Here the path at first ascends diagonally through a lane of dwarf pines, and then passes into the forest, where for a short time crosses a steeper slope. The path ahead starts steeply ascending and all the time leads through larch forest. Higher, we get to the ridge of Najbrževa peč, where the path turns left and gradually flattens. Further, we for some time walk by the edge (few meters away) of cliffs, from which a nice view opens up towards the valley, Svinja and Golica. Only a little higher, the path entirely flattens and it brings us on an ample meadow, through which we start at first gently and then steeply ascending. Next a short steep ascent follows through a lane of dwarf pines and a more panoramic path quickly brings us on the main ridge of Peca, where we get to a marked crossing.
Here we continue right in the direction of Globasnica / Globasnitz and Podpeca / Koprein Petzen (left Bistriška špica 5 minutes) on a gently sloping path, which quickly splits into two parts. The left path which starts descending, leads towards Podpeca, and our right path leads towards Globasnica and Veška kopa. Next follows few shorter ascents and descents and a panoramic path in few minutes brings us to the summit of Veška kopa.
On the way: Na Križah (1578m)
