Koprein-Petzen - Wackendorfer Spitze

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Jezersko or Pavličevo sedlo we drive to Železna Kapla, 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 to ascend more steeply. The road higher up levels out and past the starting point for Topica/Topitza brings us to a small church. We continue on the main road, which loses its asphalt surface and shortly after that starts descending. Just about 100 m further we come to an intersection, where we continue right in the direction of Peca/Petzen (left Globasnica/Globasnitz) on the road which shortly further brings us to a barrier, 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 gentle descent brings us to a crossroads at the beginning of the mountain pasture Luža.
We continue left in the direction of "Petzen" on the road which starts ascending along the edge of the mountain pasture. After approximately 20 minutes of walking, we will notice mountain signposts for Peca on the left side of the road, which direct us sharply left onto an ascending cart track. The mentioned cart track in a traverse ascent quickly brings us to a newly built forest road, which we follow to the left. After some 10 m of walking on the mentioned road we turn right onto 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 onto a macadam road, on which in a few steps we ascend to the mountain pasture Zgornja Luža.
From the mountain pasture we continue on the marked path (initially still on the road) in the direction of Peca. After some 10 steps the road turns right, but we continue left on the footpath, which starts to ascend moderately through the forest. The path gradually starts to ascend more steeply, and higher up it brings us out of the forest onto slopes covered with brushwood. Further we ascend the increasingly panoramic slopes of Peca on the path which after a while brings us to the main ridge, where we also arrive at a junction.
We continue sharply left (right Bistriška špica and Kordeževa glava) on the marked path in the direction of "Globasnitz". The path ahead descends slightly, then in a moderate ascent brings us to an indistinct summit, from which a wonderful view opens up onto the Drava Valley.
Starting point - Zgornja Luža 1:00, Zgornja Luža - Veška kopa 1:30.
