Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving towards Rateče. In Podkoren, we turn right in the direction of the mountain pass Korensko sedlo. Above Podkoren, the road turns sharply left, after that for some time it crosses slopes towards the left. About 50 meters before the road sign 1 km, a forest road branches off to the left, onto which we turn and park on an appropriate place by the road.
B) Over the border crossing Predel, we drive to Italy, and then we continue driving towards Trbiž / Tarvisio and further to Rateče. In Rateče, we continue straight, after that in Podkoren we turn left towards Austria. Above Podkoren, the road turns sharply left, after that for some time it crosses slopes towards the left. About 50 meters before the road sign 1 km, a forest road branches off to the left, onto which we turn and park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the forest road which curves semicircularly to the left and for some time leads us past the pasture. The road, which after the turn starts gently to moderately ascending, soon crosses the stream Kališnik, then slowly turns more and more to the right. Higher, we arrive at the panoramic section, from which a nice view opens towards Kranjska Gora and part of the Julian Alps. Next follows crossing of a pasture fence, immediately after the mentioned crossing we continue right on a partly overgrown cart track, which ascends diagonally above the road. For a few minutes we ascend on the overgrown cart track, after that the cart track passes into a dense forest, where it is easier to pass. Higher, on the part where the cart track vanishes in the grass, we continue right and in a few steps we join the path which leads from Rateče.
Further, we ascend through the area named Lomiči, where on several grassy spots we notice old, mostly already quite worn-out svisli. During the ascent on the mentioned part, several times when looking back a nice view opens up on the Julian Alps, and higher we reach the macadam road, which we follow to the left (the right branch of the road soon ends). On the road we ascend for a few minutes, then we arrive at a junction, where we continue slightly right (left Peč and Rateče, sharply right Kališje) on the road which then ascends gently. A little further the forest temporarily ends, where the path leads past the hunting observatory. When we have walked for a few minutes on the eastern slopes of the Petelinjek ridge, a cart track branches off sharply to the left, beside which there usually stands a smaller cairn.
We continue on the mentioned cart track (the road which we leave ends a little further at the state border) and on it we quickly ascend to a forested saddle in the Petelinjek ridge. We continue right and continue the ascent further on the cart track, which leads us over occasionally panoramic, partly grassy slopes. Higher the cart track returns to the ridge, along which it continues with some ascents and descents. A little further the cart track ends and to the summit of Petelinjek we ascend on a worse path.
