Begunje (PGD Begunje) - Pleče (Petrova pot)

Access to the starting point:

Path description:
Near the fire house, you will see signs for St Peter's, which direct you to the asphalt road that continues through the village. From the nearby crossroads by the eco-island, follow the road slightly to the left, and at the next crossroads slightly to the right up towards St Peter's. Before the "last" house, leave the road and continue along the beaten mountain path, which ascends through a hay meadow with views as far as Triglav. At the top of the hayloft, the trail enters the forest and begins to climb steeply, following the markings at the crossroads. Higher up, the stations of the cross also accompany us along the way, and we continue to follow the fairly steep path all the way to St Peter's Church, which is located on the lookout hill above Begunje.

From the church, turn left in the route Sankaška koča, and follow the wide and winding cart track, which runs to the right of the airstrip and the lookout point. When the cart track enters the forest, continue along the left-hand cart track, which continues on a slight ascent. In the last part of the section, cart track becomes a little steeper, and we quickly reach Sankaška koča, from which we have a nice view of Julian Alps.
From the hut we continue in the direction of Begunjščica, Roblek's home, Poljška mountain pasture and Završnice, where we first climb steeply and then continue in a gentle descent to the nearby private hut, which we pass on the right hand side. There is some climbing and then you reach the hunting lodge LD Hochstuhl - Žirovnica. Here, from a nearby lookout point, a beautiful view of Gorenjska and the Julian Alps opens up, and the trail returns to the forest and continues along the cart track. At the crossroads, follow the signs, and for a while leave the tracks. When we return to the track, the terrain gradually levels out and we continue to the right from the marked path at the part where the path to Smokuški vrh branches off to the left.
After a few steps, we reach a turning point on a nearby forest road, and from the turning point we continue right on the track, which descends gently and then begins to climb gently. Here you will get some views of Karawanks, and the track gradually ascends to the slopes of Pleč. As we cross the climb, preferably before the end of cart track, we continue to the right, where there are several fainter paths, and we climb up one of them to an indistinct ridge, and then along a slightly more prominent path to a nearby summit.
