Lašče - Sveti Peter

Access to starting point:
A) From the motorway Ljubljana - Novo Mesto, take the exit Ivančna Gorica and continue driving in the direction of Žužemberk and Črnomelj. A little after Žužemberk, more precisely in the settlement Dvor, leave the main road and continue driving right in the direction of Kočevje. Behind the bridge over the river Krka, the road starts to ascend more steeply, and we follow it to the village Lašče, where we park on the parking lot opposite the local inn.
B) From the motorway border crossing Obrežje - Ljubljana, take the exit Novo Mesto - east, and continue driving to the mentioned settlement. From Novo Mesto, continue driving in the direction of Straže, Soteske and later Žužemberk. When we come to the settlement Dvor, turn left and continue driving towards Kočevje. Behind the bridge over the river Krka, the road starts to ascend more steeply, and we follow it to the village Lašče, where we park on the parking lot opposite the local inn.

Path description:
A little further from the inn, a forest road branches off to the left, by which we notice signs for the European footpath E7. We head onto the mentioned road, which soon loses its asphalt covering and then moderately ascends through the forest. Higher up, we come to a crossroads, where we continue on the left road, by which we notice signs for Sveti Peter. The road then flattens and brings us out of the forest onto a larger clearing named Oražem. After the clearing, we come to a crossroads, where by the hunting observatory we notice a sign for Sveti Peter, which points us onto the right road. Even though the signs show right, we continue on the left lower road, by which the blazes continue (continuation is possible also on the right road). The left road then entirely flattens, or after some time starts even lightly descending. We follow the mentioned road to a crossroads, where from the left joins a marked path from Podgozd. Here at the Station of the Cross number 8, we continue on the right somewhat steeper road, from which soon a marked footpath branches off to the left, which higher crosses the road we recently left. We continue on the cart track, which ascends past the next cross, and which gradually changes into a pleasant forest path. Higher, we once again cross the road, and we continue on a cart track, which also here changes into a footpath, which higher brings us to a mesh fence. We follow the path, which further first moderately, then steeply ascends along the fence, all the way to the summit of Sveti Peter, on which stands a smaller shrine and a wooden lookout tower.
