Path description:
From the top station of the cable car, follow the signs "P12 Kordeschkopf". At first you follow the slope cart track, then the path turns right and starts to climb up along the ski slope. The path then briefly turns left off the ski slope into the woods before climbing back up along the edge of the ski slope. When you reach the top of the ski slope, continue left and then climb for a short distance up along dwarf pines. Later, the dwarf pines becomes a little thinner and then there is a short climb up a grassy slope to a crossroads on the boundary ridge (near Knips' Saddle).
Continue left and the trail quickly leads to Slovenian signposts and information boards at Knips saddle.
From the saddle, continue straight on in the direction of Pec and the home at Pec (to the right, the Topela valley) along the path which first ascends gently and then descends to the saddle between Velika glava and Kordeževa glava (Kordeževa glava). From this saddle, the trail starts to climb crosswise towards the highest peak of Peć, which is reached after about 15 minutes of further walking.
