Route description:
From where we parked, we first walk to the church of St. Michael and circle it along the lower left side, following the markers and at the beginning also the signs for Gozdna pot and Pot suverenosti; at a small intersection, there are also mountaineering signs for Velika bukva and Pečice.
A short transverse ascent follows along a narrow asphalt road, where if we step a few paces to the left side off the path, a wonderful view of Pišece opens up; a little further, at the chapel, we turn sharply right.
The path continues past a small museum; the asphalt road soon enters the forest and a small valley, which we leave, continuing left following the signs for Pečice. A few minutes of steep ascent through the forest follow, then we reach a forested ridge where the path levels somewhat; we continue following Knafelčev markers. Higher up, we reach a somewhat better-trodden path starting at the pond or Grad Pišece; we keep slightly to the right, continuing along the marked path, taking care not to veer right onto Gozdna pot Pišece. A moderate ascent through the forest follows, climbing the indistinct ridge of Velika Vagla; when the path reaches its highest point, the summit of Velika Vagla is to the right, just three steps off the path.
A short descent follows, and we soon reach the turning loop of the forest road, which we merely cross (left: unmarked road (shortcut) to Velika bukva or Bivak LD Pišece), then we start ascending towards Veliki vrh, reaching it after a few minutes; the summit is not distinct and not specially marked, but some views open from it towards the east to southeast.
Some easy descent follows along the northeast ridge of Veliki vrh; a few minutes further, we reach a small saddle, where we go left downhill towards Velika bukva and Pečice (slightly right: Veliki Špiček, two minutes).
A transverse descent follows on the northwest slopes of Veliki vrh; upon joining the aforementioned road (shortcut), only a few steps remain to the hunting bivouac.
