Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. From the inn Kanonir, we drive further a good kilometer to the signposts. Here we turn left towards the signs for Krtina Hospital. We follow the road to a large parking lot at the sign prohibiting further driving.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue along the road where we parked and already after a few dozen meters we encounter a barrier. The road soon makes a sharp right turn and brings us to a junction. We take the left road towards Krtina Hospital. The road, which ascends moderately, takes us across a bridge and behind it emerges from the forest. Here a path also branches off to the right to the hospital, but we continue along the road, which brings us to the top of the grassy slope in a few hairpin turns. The road, which then enters the forest again, continues ascending and after an hour and a half of walking brings us to a larger clearing where the hunting cottage Stanič stands.
From the cottage, we continue ahead along the road, which soon brings us to a junction. We continue along the right road, which becomes progressively worse. This brings us after 30 minutes of walking from the hunting cottage to the ruins (JLA guardhouse) at the end of the road.
From here we continue between both ruins ahead. The path enters the forest and ascends slightly along a nice footpath. This path after a good ten minutes brings us to an unmarked junction, where we continue right onto the upper path. The path then soon emerges from the forest onto steep grassy slopes. The path ahead crosses these slopes in the lower part and then brings us into an indistinct valley. Here there are two paths ahead. We go right along the bottom of the valley to a small saddle. At the saddle, we turn left and continue along the border ridge. When the path emerges from the forest onto the summit slope of Mali Pečovnik, a beautiful view opens up. From here we ascend to the summit of Pečovnik in a few steps.
Parking lot - hunting cottage 1:30, hunting cottage - Pečovnik 1:05.
