Access to starting point:
At first, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving towards Rateče. At the crossroad, where the road to Planica branches off to the left, and straight it continues towards Italy, we turn right and we drive to the center of Rateče, where we park at the appropriate place.
Path description:
From the center of Rateče, we go on the road in the direction of Tromeja. The road which is at first only gently ascending, leads us through dense settlement, and then it brings us to the smaller crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Tromeja (right dead-end street). The road then leads us past few more houses, and we quickly get to the next crossing, where we continue right. Here the road leads us past a yard of the nearby house, and the road above it passes into the forest and changes into a little more steep footpath. For some time we are ascending through the forest and then we reach the forest road which leads from Rateče towards Tromeja.
We continue on the road which becomes steeper, and for some time we are ascending through the forest. Higher, we cross panoramic meadow, and the path after it returns into the forest and it brings us to the marked crossroad. Here we continue straight (right mountain hut Dom na Tromeji 3 minutes) and we continue on the road which soon makes a right turn. In the middle of the right turn branches off to the left steep footpath which leads on Peč - Tromeja.
Here we continue left on the mentioned path (further on the road - Tromeja gentle path), and it starts ascending steeper through the forest. The path ahead is in numerous zig-zags ascending through the forest, only on numerous right turns it often brings us on the old border clearing between Slovenia and Italy.
From the clearing from turn to turn increasingly beautiful views are opening up on Julian Alps.
Higher, the footpath flattens a little and it brings us to a smaller cottage, where there are a stamp and inscription box. Here we continue a little further and past numerous memorial plaques, we walk to the top of Peč, which borders on three countries.
