Koprein-Petzen - Križnik (Peca)

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Jezersko or Pavličevo sedlo we drive to Železne Kaple, and there at the beginning of the settlement we notice signs for Lepeno/Leppen, which direct us to the right. The mentioned road then through the mentioned village brings us to the village Pod Peca/Koprein-Petzen, where it starts ascending steeper. The road higher levels out and past the starting point for Topico/Topitza brings us to a small church. We continue on the main road, which loses its asphalt covering and only a little after that starts descending. Only about 100 meters ahead we come to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Peca/Petzen (left Globasnica/Globasnitz) on the road which only a little further brings us to a ramp, near which we also park.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the forest road closed to traffic, which in 5 minutes of light descent brings us to a crossroad at the beginning of the mountain pasture Luža.
We continue left in the direction of "Petzen" on the road which starts ascending by the edge of the mountain pasture. After approximately 20 minutes of walking, we will on the left side of the road notice mountain signposts for Peca, which point us sharply left on an ascending cart track. The mentioned cart track in a diagonal ascent quickly brings us to a newly built forest road which we follow to the left. After some 10 meters of walking on the mentioned road we go right on an ascending cart track, on which we ascend through the spruce forest. After approximately 1 hour of walking from the starting point, we again step on a macadam road, on which we in a few steps ascend to the mountain pasture Zgornja Luža.
From the mountain pasture, we continue on a marked path (at first still a road) in the direction of Peca. After some 10 steps the road turns to the right, and we continue left on a footpath which starts moderately ascending through the forest. The path gradually starts ascending steeper, and it higher brings us out of the forest on slopes overgrown with dwarf pines. Further, we ascend on the more and more panoramic slopes of Peca, on the path which after some time brings us to the main ridge, where we also step onto a junction.
We continue right in the direction of Bistriška špica and Peca (left Globasnica/Globasnitz) on the path which entirely flattens and continues first by a precipitous ridge, then on the plateau-like terrain of Peca. Somewhat further the path from the lower station of the cableway to Peca joins us from the left side, and we continue straight on the path which rises slightly and brings us to Bistriška špica after less than 5 minutes of further walking.
From Bistriška špica we continue right and first start descending towards the south, then the path turns slightly to the left and approaches the ridge, where it flattens. There follow some shorter ascents and descents, then we gradually pass onto the slopes of Križnik. Here soon on the left opens a nice grassy passage, and at this point we leave the marked path and continue left on easier pathless terrain, quickly ascending to the ridge. When we reach the ridge we go right and quickly reach the summit of Križnik, which is not specially marked.
